I will hold nothing back

Worship is not just the songs I sing; it is my lifestyle. It will be passionate. It will be driven. It will demand an explanation. I will be open; I will be vulnerable. I will stay broken and humble at the feet of Jesus. I will live with such intensity that I must continually seek God's presence so I don't burn out. I will seek God first in everything. I will be filled so I can pour myself out over and over. I will desire nothing but to sit at the feet of Jesus and cry, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come." I will live for the glory of my Savior.

Braces

Yep, it's true. Last Thursday I finally had braces put on. Robbie will be getting his off by December, and Carl had his put on this past March. Why the wait for me? Well, a certain graduation/recital may have something to do with it. Anyway, my family's been bugging me to post a picture of my braces, so here it is.



Not much else to report these days. I've been putting in a lot of 7 or 10-hour days at the daycare, and while it can be tiring at times, it's been a lot of fun. Carl started football practice today, so he's happy. Of course, it's the hottest day of the summer, and that's the start of practice--as usual! Still, he's excited and we're excited to watch him play again this year.
This picture is actually from last week or the week before. We were sitting at the table eating supper when Robbie noticed this sitting on the power line in the neighbor's backyard. We see 'em all the time out in the country, but in the middle of the city? Not so much. Apperently, there's a nest of them a few blocks away.

Nice braces!! How long do you have to wear them?

As of right now, I've been told 15-20 months. I'm hoping it's on the shorter side.
