Jesus it is you

Awesome lyrics. Awesome song. I needed this.

Jesus it is you

WHO MAKES THE SUN TO RISE AND BRING THE EARTH NEW LIFE IN EVERY BEAM
JESUS IT IS YOU
WHO TURNS THE DAY TO NIGHT AND WATCHES ME AS I BEGIN TO DREAM
JESUS IT IS YOU
WHO BRINGS ME FOOD FOR MY TABLE, WHO CARES FOR ALL OF MY NEEDS
WHO WALKS THE ROAD WITH ME
HAS GROWN WITH ME THROUGH ALL THAT I HAVE BEEN
JESUS IT IS YOU, JESUS IT IS YOU

SO I LIFT MY HANDS AND I BRING MY SONG
ALL OF MY DAYS, ALL OF MY RIGHTS, ALL OF MY WRONGS
I OFFER MY LIFE, HERE AND BEYOND
TO THE ONE THING TRUE, JESUS IT IS YOU

WHO SEES MY BROKENNESS AND CARRIES ME WHEN I AM FRAIL AND WEAK
JESUS IT IS YOU
WHO TELLS THE STORM TO REST WHEN I AM OVERWHELMED AND CANNOT SPEAK
JESUS IT IS YOU
WHO WEARS MY GUILT ON HIS SHOULDERS, WHO HOLDS MY HEART IN HIS HANDS
WHO TAKES MY THOUGHTS AND FEARS AND HANGS THEM ON THE ARMS OF CALVARY
JESUS IT IS YOU, JESUS IT IS YOU

My boy is 5!

My boy is 5 years old today! Excuse me, I have to type that again for the sake of processing: My boy is 5 years old today! Okay. that helped. 

Currently, Noah is all about Batman. Thus, I have a Batman cake to pick up today around five o' clock. We have some gifts for him to open and are just excited to see him so excited to be a 5 year old. Here are some things we are just absolutely loving about Noah: 

1.Noah still loves to dress up with his ties, hankerchiefs, button-up shirts, and jackets. I secretly hope that this is not a phase, but just something about him that will remain until adulthood:)

2. Noah is still very much into singing and music and likes to pretend that he is in a band. He likes the guitar, the keyboard, and the drums.

4. Noah is so affectionate. He is especially affectionate toward his mommy (another thing I secretly hope will never change;) Hugs, kisses, and "I love you' s" galore come from this little guy and are a blessing to us all.

3. Noah, who has always been on the quiet side, is beginning to be more talkative and conversational. This catches me off guard sometimes because its new. However, I love to talk to him about things he is learning, about God, about how he loves his family, and of course, about Batman. 

Noah, 

When daddy and I prayed and asked God for a son, we knew we would enjoy having a boy. But, we had no idea just how much your personality, your voice, your humor, your quirks, and all the other qualities God has put in you would steal our hearts. You are a joy and we love you Big Boy!

Guess Who!

Yep. You got it. That's yours truly. 

When my son so sweetly presented me with this drawing, I could tell he was proud of his work. I took one look and had to put forth much effort in order to hide my amusement at the look on my face in the drawing. I told Noah it was great, thanked him, and gave him a big hug.

   

After I walked away, I couldn't help but to shake my head and chuckle to myself for at least 10 minutes. I wondered, "Is this a picture of me on a good day or a bad day?" I thought, "It definitely had to be a bad hair day if nothing else. " Nevertheless, Mr. Noah was very serious about the fact that it was a picture of my looking quite lovely. 

What can I do in response to that besides feel proud of my portrait? Thanks Noah:)
