Hey good lookin'

Well, today baby John took another step into the world of big boys. His curly blond hair has lost some of its luster in this dry winter weather and he was way overdue for a cut. We've been trying to snip it back here and there, but the boy just freaks out every time we try. After reading the story of Samson to the kids last week we even considered trying to cut it when he was asleep. But because he's our last baby, I took him to Cookie Cutter's for the baby spa treatment.

He's diggin' the car. It's not so bad.

Maybe I spoke too soon. Fear and trepidation sets in.

He's not havin' it!

"Mom, save me from the torture!"

My little man is lookin' good!

"Say cheese."

"...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complain- ing or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing...." Philippians 2:12b-16

I often want to be the one to do big things for God. This verse reminds me that it is in doing the small things well and without complaining that I can be most useful to Him. So when I'm taking care of the sick and sweeping up the floor again and just got sauce on my only white shirt and somehow managed to drop a box of crayons down the dryer vent and my friend is hurting and my child is frustrated with school and I really don't feel like I can answer one more question.... I remember that this is my time to SHINE AGAIN.
