SHINE!

All this sunshiny weather just makes my heart happy.  I love how God shines His glory through creation.  It's so awesomely sweet that He paints beautiful skies for us to enjoy.  


This past weekend we were blessed to be able to head to Prescott and enjoy the lovely sunshine!  I honestly had no idea just how pretty the weekend was supposed to be, so I was pleasantly surprised.  Kylie had a blast loving on MawMaw and PawPaw (her names that she has apparently designated for Toby's parents), feeding cows, hugging puppies, petting cows, chasing puppies, getting dirty, running in flowers, etc.  I miss living out in the middle of nowhere ;)  It has its perks.  So, here are a few of my favorite pics from the weekend.

Running from the puppy!

Kylie's thinking, "Man, farm life is hard."

Sunshine.  Isn't it wonderful?  I like to change the spelling sometimes and look at it from a different perspective - Sonshine.  I pray daily that God uses me to shine His Son through.  I want others to see that not only I care for them, but also God deeply cares for them.  I love this new David Crowder Band song - SMS Shine.  For those of you wondering, SMS stands for Send Me a Sign.  The song talks about striving to be led by God through all circumstances and letting His light shine through us because the whole world needs to see it.  The video itself is pretty spectacular.  It's animated using a Bright Light.  How awesome is that?!  You guys have to see it, so I'm posting it below (just pause the music at the bottom of my blog) :)  I pray that we all seek to be the light amidst the darkness.  Shine bright guys!!!  





14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

Matthew 5:14-16

Weird how time slips away, isn't it?  Suddenly you turn around and it's eleven years later.  Things never stay the same.  That's something my Daddy has always told me.  I never really understood that until one Wednesday afternoon when I was in 9th grade.   Pardon me if this post is choppy, but it's something that I can't recall without reliving it.  I am already crying. I remember everything so vividly.  It was just a normal day - just a normal day.  Gosh, I wish it would've just been a normal day.  We went to and from class all morning.  We were all so innocent.  Smiling, laughing.  Having a great time.  Lunch came and went.  Fifth period started.  I, personally, was sitting in Mrs. Dardenne's room wondering where the heck she was because believe me, something had to be wrong for Mrs. Dardenne to be late to class.  I'm sure many of my peers were also wondering why there was suddenly a feeling of something...

Sunny Day! Sweeping the Clouds Away!

With the snow melting and the sun shining bright, I am reminiscing on a couple of Saturday's past.  Two weeks ago we were celebrating the random mid-70 degree weather by heading to Petit Jean Mountain.  It was a pretty spectacular little trip. We left later than expected, so I chose to drive since I drive a little faster than Toby ;).  Kylie was busting with excitement because I told her about the awesome waterfall that she'd get to see for the first time.  She couldn't wait to get there! We got off on the Morrilton exit and I started to turn to the right.  Toby insisted that we turn left, but I was almost positive that Petit Jean was to the right.  After all, I had done a Home Health clinical just a few months before.  We had driven all over this area - surely I knew where I was going.  So, I talked him into turning to the right.  We drove, and we drove.  We drove for almost 25 minutes.  I kept saying - "Oh, there it is! ...

I honestly can't believe how time has flown by.  So many things have happened since I last posted! Kylie has turned 3 and now has a sweet baby sister who is 8 weeks old already.  And, let me tell you - Gracie is such a happy child.  I love her sweet smile in the mornings when I sing to her.  It melts my heart!   "I'm TEE!" My beautiful little Gracie.      Having fun with GranJan at her birthday party!  My sweet best friends, Casey and Shelly! My little artist.  She LOVES painting! Sweet little face. My very first nephew, Joseph Ryan Bullock, finally made his appearance 17 days late at 7 pounds and 11 ounces.  May 9th couldn't have come quick enough for sweet Ann Claire and Josh.  Now, he's already 10 days old.  Aren't they cute?! Ann Claire - you are beautiful and I'm so proud of you!! Kylie couldn't wait to meet her handsome cousin! Sweet little man...
