Show Us Your Life: Favorite Bible Verse

I'm participating in Show Us Your Life This week over at http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/. I'll be the first to admit that my relationship with God is at it's very beginning. I have been attending church regularly for almost 3 years now, however, at first it was just that...attending. I never really got in to the message or the preaching. Sad to say, I was probably just mostly there for show. Now when I'm there, I'm TRULY worshipping, TRULY hearing the message, serving God in ways that I can, etc. It's a great feeling! :)

My favorite Bible verse is Ephesians 2: 8-10

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this 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.

This verse is very meaningful to me for several reasons. I came across it back in May when I was celebrating something VERY important in my husbands life, and I was looking for a verse to put on a banner I made for him. This verse so wonderfully describes the milestone we were celebrating in my husbands life, because if it wasn't for God, I know my husband would not be here today!

Hop on over to Kelly's page and read about other bloggers favorite Bible verses. Enjoy! :)

Our Journey To Parenthood

Family Vacay 2010

Just a post of pics of our trip to the beach last week. We had a blast! Mia was recovering from a trip to the ER that morning (long story short...her preauricular sinus was severely infected. Never heard of it? Neither had we! :) Well, we knew she had a preauricular sinus since birth BUT we didn't know that it was something that could be come infected!!!!) So she was a tad cranky and "off" but you would have never known it from the pictures. She's quite the ham! :) Manuel had a blast "surfing" all day and just soaking up the rays. It was a nice time for hubby and I to re-connect too. Who couldn't use some marriage reconnection?? :)

Enjoy...

*UGH, worst blogger ever...I can't get my pics to post below my introductory paragraph AND I can't figure out how to rotate the one adorable pic of Mia. Oh well, enjoy anyway! :)

Day of Blog Silence for Cohen

*Wish I knew of this before my last post*

Raw(e): Summertime

I LOVE taking pictures. Mainly of my children, but pictures in general are a passion of mine. I NEVER, not one single solitary time have EVER edited any of my pictures. Oh trust me, it's not because I think I am THAT good at photography (if we are being honest, my camera cost about $100 and I have NOOOO clue how to do anything with it, other then click the "take picture" button (is that the technical term? ;) but I have never edited a picture because I don't know how. I don't know how to use any editing software, or should I say I've never tried. But ALL of this rambling leads up to something super neat I came across...Sami!
(oh wow, I just did a link "thingy"-again, the technical term, I'm sure! ;) I've never done that before, without typing out the entire website address! :) YAY ME!) Anywho, Sami does a series called Raw(e) and I decided to participate this week. Here is my completely unedited, untouched picture (because remember, I have NO clue how to do any of that! :) Enjoy!
My son, Manuel at the beach last week. He was boogie boarding, oh excuse me, he said, "I'm surfing! Surfs up!" :)
