1 month stats
Jane Ramsey had her 1 month well check today. She was 9 lb. 11 oz and 21 1/2 inches long. She is doing great! She's started to hand out a few smiles on occasion and has gone a bit longer between feedings at night. Plus, she actually seems to like tummy time! She's a delight to us all.
I love trucks....
Tuesday is trash day and what an exciting day that is for a little boy! When we heard the recycling and garbage trucks drive by, Drew and Joshua pressed their faces against the glass to see. It's the simple things...

Confession and Assurance
Worship today was amazing. Each week we have a time of confession and assurance which I often feel like sharing because God uses it to speak into my life directly. Yet, I'll forget to bring the bulletin home or I simply forget as the week goes on. But, today I didn't forget and this is often how I live my life.
Father, we live like you don't exist.
We treat you like a gas station and only go to You when we're empty. We try to do everything in our own power, and when we fall short, we blame You for not showing up.
Lord Jesus, we live like you don't exist.
We keep ourselves busy with good things so we do not have to engage You. We work hard to provide, we take care of our households, we exercise, we value community and relationships, we are current on world news and politics, and we give our time and money to good causes, yet we fail to trust you.
Holy Spirit, we live like you don't exist.
We leave you out of our daily choices. We've learned that Your love is unconditional, and that You are whispering for us to come and sit at Your feet and simply be with You. But, week after week, we make choices to ignore You. When we do hear You, we don't believe what you say.
God, please forgive us.
We confess that we let good things get in the way of our relationship with You. We treasure Your creation rather than treasuring You, the Creator of all things. Bringing You glory is not even on our radar. And for these things, Gracious Lord, we repent.
It is a powerful thing to confess our sins individually and as a church body. Yet, the assurance of who we are in Christ that God gives us through His Word is even more powerful.
"But because of His great love for us, God, who is RICH in mercy, made us ALIVE with Christ even when we were dead in trangressions--it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:4-10
Maybe this confession and assurance will speak to you as it did to me! Just wanted to share:)
