A New Year....surely we can change :)

I've been sitting here for a short time already, writing and rewriting a New Year's post. What do I say? I don't make resolutions. Last year had some tough moments, but all in all, I'm very glad to have lived :) And somehow I started thinking about this song by David Crowder. And I do believe what I want for this year is to know Jesus more, and to learn to BE a Love like that.
Happy New Year! :)

And the problem is this
We were bought with a kiss
But the cheek still turned
Even when it wasn’t hit

And I don’t know
What to do with a love like that
And I don’t know
How to be a love like that

When all the love in the world
Is right here among us
And hatred too
And so we must choose
What our hands will do

Where there is pain
Let there be grace
Where there is suffering
Bring serenity
For those afraid
Help them be brave
Where there is misery
Bring expectancy
And surely we can change
Surely we can change
Something

And the problem it seems
Is with you and me
Not the Love who came
To repair everything

Where there is pain
Let us bring grace
Where there is suffering
Bring serenity
For those afraid
Let us be brave
Where there is misery
Let us bring them relief
And surely we can change
Surely we can change
Oh surely we can change
Something

Oh, the world’s about to change
The whole world’s about to change

"Surely We Can Change" by David Crowder

18 months

Camdon turned 18 months old last week! Camdon, you weigh (3/20 at the Dr.'s): 23lbs. and 5 oz. You are 32" long Your head is growing too, and still in the 95% percentile! Can't forget that big ol' head :) You are exploding with words! I am not even sure how many you can say now...you stopped calling daddy "na na" and started calling him "da da" a few weeks ago...I've even heard a few "daddy"'s in there. You say 'cup', 'apple', 'melmo', 'bur bur' (big bird), 'grofer (grover), all the animal names and sounds. You started this week saying, "dump (jump)", which you say every time you try and do it (which is alot). You also have just started saying "pease" along with your sweet "kank koo"....which is one of our favorite things. You say it ALOT....including when you are giving something to someone else, so hand mommy a toy and say 'kank koo'. :) You LOVE to b...

Sometimes life gives you lemons...PART 1

But you can't make lemonade because they're already rotten. And seriously, who wants to drink rotten lemonade? Someone told me, "You'll write your first book about this season of life". Hehe. I can't even remember half of this season. :) I've been thinking about blogging for awhile now, about sleep and what I feel like the Lord is showing me during this...extended....period of time in our life. He IS moving and speaking, and I've been tossing around whether or not to share. I think I will. Sometime. But I think, if I'm going to write my hope-filled "Jesus is showing up so it's all good" post.....it's only fair if I also blog on one of my bad days. Of which there have been many. One of the days that also exposes the deep struggle I've had during this season. Seems fair. So I haven't written anything. The spiritual blog posts are so much easier to write. They make you sound struggling AND strong. Frustrated AND s...

17 months

Camdon, you turned 17 months on Feb. 15th! Perhaps the most important development is that you are FINALLY sleeping through the night!! At the end of January, mommy and daddy left overnight for the first time (youth retreat), and you didn't get up either night....so when we got home, we decided to go for dropping that last pesky wake-up, and you DID it! Mommy is so proud of you! (also, she's almost getting enough sleep to feel her face again--jk (not really :) You like to "talk" or "sing" to yourself in the middle of the night. You are in love with "melmo", "cookie", "bee burr", and Sesame Street in general. Books, stuffed animals...even bits of the show. You love it all. You've taken to turning on the tv and saying, "melmo. Feet." because you want to watch the Elmo's World with the feet in it. If mommy would let you, you would be a VERY happy tv watcher...you think it's mesmerizing. You are my little...
