day 28 & 29...

thursday: pizza coupon stuffin' day. (another post)
jack's first basketball game. they spanked the other team. really, i know that we're NOT supposed to keep score. i didn't. i didn't need to. they won by THAT many points.
after the game, we were lucky enough to have the two older wubben kiddos spend the night. their mom had an appointment in the morning so it worked out great for them to get ready for school here with us.
which brings us to the END of B.E.A.R week. i don't know if i posted about that or not but since i don't feel like looking back to see if i did, bear (get it? :)) with me, i'm going to say it again. B stands for BE. E stands for EXCITED. A stands for ABOUT. and R stands for READING. basically, if the kids are challenged to turn off the t.v, computer, video games, anything with a screen. as much as i usually DREAD this week, i have to say, it was wonderfully quiet here. to celebrate the kids making it thru the week, every student is asked to dress up in any character in a book. jack's fav thing is the football outfit. we are lucky enough to be friends with the head football coach who hooked jack up with the FULL MEAL DEAL! poor kid, could hardly walk but boy, did he look tough! max's outfit of choice. HOCKEY. again, it's who ya know...uncle tim/bo pulled through with all the garb he would need. it took both max and i, breaking out into a sweat getting his blasted shirt over all those pads but gosh, darn, he was darling. since our outfits usually don't change much from year to year, we get teh outfits AND then we go to the library in hopes of finding a book to carry. i don't think this is proper school etiquette, in fact, as i'm writing this, i'm wondering, "were they supposed to actually READ the book they were carrying?" hmmm...all you other LC moms, maybe you can answer this for me. either way, the kids had a grand time getting ready to strut their stuff.
kaiden was a great pirate! coffee beard and all.
miss hai was a cowgirl. giddy up. oh, what fun to braid a little girls hair! :)

day 28...

tired.
going to bed.
blog must wait.
sleep will not.

what do i know of Holy?

i've heard this song before. today the words struck a cord. (pun intended) so often i put God in this perfect little box. kidding myself into thinking i've got it all figured out. if only He'd do it this way, you know, MY WAY, things would have turned out so much better. what a joke. He is a BIG-AMAZING-SO-WONDERFUL-THAT-I-CAN'T-WRAP-MY-MIND-AROUND-HIM-SORT-OF-GOD!! how very good of Him to 'lend me' this song today, reminding me of how small i am & oh how VERY BIG He is....
**********************************************************************************

I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small
I never feared You at all No
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were mighty to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?

Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

(CHORUS 2)
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life "its" name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?
