As spring approaches us fast I am encouraged by the amazing newness
it brings. We have a new season to enjoy and it just happens to be my favorite
one.
This spring will bring with it new life to our house. We
will be welcoming the newest addition to our little family. Baby Black is due
to arrive on April 20th. However I know that it will probably be May
before he makes his grand entrance. The house is a buzz with all of the preparations
to make ready. Sorting the clothes into sizes and finding room for all the
extras. Not to mention finding room for
the baby. I do believe the cats know
there is about to be a change. My close companion Cinderella has been by my
side a lot more in the past few weeks. She is my mama cat. She has never had a
litter of kittens but she is very motherly. She will cry outside MJ’s room if
he is crying and she always comes to get me if the kids are fighting. It cracks
me up at how she acts with the kids.
So this spring brings not only new trees, flowers, grass,
and fresh sunshine but a new life.

Bruised and broken I come crawling to your feet,
Weary and tired I have so many needs only you can meet,
Lord here I am again to confess these sins,
They take me and brake me,
They push and pull me,
I need your wonderful forgiveness to begin,
A clean slate that only you can provide,
Lord thank you for helping me daily cross this great divide,
Lift me and lead me,
Love me and never leave me.
