I'll be back next week.

Baby girl had such a fun busy day yesterday on her birthday.  She took naps, she ran errands with mommy.  She helped pick out her birthday cake for her party on Friday.  She went to the post office with me to mail out our taxes (yes she is our TAX BABY) and she also helped me to send out all of her pretty dresses, sneakers and pokemon to our GIVEAWAY winners.  So be a look out for those packages over the next few days.  She also got a balloon.... and then broke it, letting all of the air out if it.  Every place we went we had someone new to join in to sing happy birthday to her.  She really enjoyed that, and it also put smiles on others through out their busy day.   See I told you there isn't a day that goes by that she doesn't make us smile or laugh.  

Well tomorrow my parents and Marks parents fly in for the weekend.  We are having a birthday bash Friday night and we have fun stuff planned for the weekend, so I am going to be pretty busy starting today.  I won't be posting for a few days, so I wanted to leave you guys with some adorable pictures of butterfly and a little devotional.  Something that I think can start the middle of the week off great and take you into the weekend.  Enjoy and see Ill be back next week.  

God Bless.  

Every Nation: Shift from "Me-First" to "God-First"

by Rick Warren

"Jesus said to his followers, 'Go everywhere in the world, and tell the Good News to everyone'" (Mark 16:15 NCV).

People with "me-first" faith ask, "How can God make my life more comfortable?" They want to use God for their purposes instead of being used for His purposes.

"God-first" believers know they've been saved to serve and made for mission. They're eager to receive a personal assignment and excited about the privilege of being used by God.

Their joy, confidence, and enthusiasm are contagious because they know they're making a difference. They wake up each morning expecting God to work through them in fresh ways.

Which type of believer do you want to be?

God invites you to participate in the greatest, largest, most diverse, and most significant cause in history—building his kingdom. History is His story; He's building His family for eternity. Nothing matters more and nothing will last as long.

From the book of Revelation we know God's global mission will be accomplished, that someday the Great Commission will be the great completion. In heaven, an enormous crowd of people "from every race, tribe, nation, and language" will one day stand before Jesus Christ to worship Him (Revelation 7:9 CEV).

Becoming a "God-first" believer will allow you to experience in advance a little of what heaven will be like.
