Yesterday was Myles' 4th b-day. We had his party at the church. He had so much fun playing with his friends. There are about 4 or 5 little boys at our church who were born all within a year of each other and it's so fun to watch them growing up together. I'm so proud of Myles and how grown up he is.

Today we had Damon's dedication at church. Our parents and siblings and my aunt Terry and my G-ma and Pa were there and it meant so much to us that they were. Our preacher announced that we were going to be doing the dedication and he gets emotional sometimes and he said we do lots of these dedications here but I've been waiting on this day for a long time and his voice broke and then Jeremy and I were both crying before we even got up on the stage. We went up there and he spoke a few words, then we played the song "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts, then he annointed Damon and prayed for him. We're glad to be able to say that his life belongs to the Lord.

Speaking of dedication, last night I was doing dishes and right above our sink there is a window and the screen on the outside doesn't fit quite right so bugs can get in there. Well it was dark out and I had the light on inside so bugs were coming from all 4 states to that light and this one that got in there was HUGE! It looked like one of those hissing cockroaches only with long hairy feelers and it could fly. I was freaking out at first, but then I realized that as long as I didn't open the window, it wouldn't get in. So I started watching it because it was trying as hard as it could to get to the top of the window. Since the glass is slick it wasn't getting anywhere, but that didn't stop it. It never gave up, never slowed down. Once in a while it would fall to the bottom and it wouldn't even rest for a second. It would turn itself over, climb the screen and then when it hit the glass part it was right back to scrambling to get to the top. I thought to myself "that thing is going to die trying to get out." Then I thought "Lord, let me be like that bug. Let me be so dedicated to what it is You have called me to do that I would die trying to do it. You deserve everything I've got. " Weird analogy, I know, but those were my thoughts. Talk to you later.
