Growing Up

Today I am having a meeting with Landon's pre-school teachers.. I can't believe it..where has the time gone.. It just seems like yesterday I was bringing him for the first time to meet his big brother and then a couple of years later he was a big brother.. I can't help but think of the post I wrote about Puff The Magic Dragon.. So will add the lyrics again..

Oh I know Landon will do just fine.. I just hope dad will too..

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!

Summer 2009

Wow,
it has been a while since my last post.. I been really busy with Summer 2009! let met give you a quick run down..

VBS.. was awesome!! averaged 80 kids night!
Wednesday night Bible Study.. going great my team and I are feeding stomach and minds!!
1st Junior Camp.. was incredible.. we had a Baptism!!! (Go Dylan)

But with all the God centered things going on this summer .. it still has been a climb at times.. which leads me to leave you these lyrics..
God Bless

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa
