Another song that's been running through my head...

♪ I Want Jesus More Than Anything ♫

I want Jesus in my life
More than anything this world can offer me,
For I know that He alone can satisfy;
Just to know His leading in my life
is worth everything that I might sacrifice,
Oh I want Jesus more than anything.

Chorus:
Take the fame that I might want,
and all the things that seem so dear;
I'd rather have Him than any praise,
That men may give to me.
I want Him to have control,
And be the breath of life in me:
I'd rather have Jesus,
I'd rather have Him than anything.

He had power without end from the Heavens He ruled the universe
Countless angels waited on His every call'
But one day I saw Him all alone
on a road to death and untold agony
Just for me. He suffered,
What a price he paid.

Ending:
As I go on through life with Him,
There can be no other way;
I want Jesus,
More than anything.

Haha, I just realized how much this song is like the last one I posted =o) Remember this one Mrs. Kim? I think we need to sing it again!

This song has been going through my head lately...

♪ I'd Rather Have Jesus ♫

I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I’d rather be His than have riches untold;
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands;
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand

Refrain:
Than to be the king of a vast domain,
Or be held in sin’s dread sway;
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause;
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I’d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame;
I’d rather be true to His holy name

He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He’s sweeter than honey from out the comb;
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs;
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead


This song helps me remember not to focus on the things of this world, but on my relationship with the Lord and serving Him :)

Boys and Their Violins

My brothers participated in a string festival this last weekend, and they had a concert at the end of it. Chord and Calder played in a trio. Their piece was The Easy Winners bye Scott Joplin. It was kinda neat, because I've never heard jazz style played on violins before. Enjoy!

Calder is on the left as 1st violin, and Chord is in the middle as 2nd violin.

200 plus....

...pies. Yes, 200+ pies. In November the 4-H Teen Club Chord and I are members of, sold and baked pies for a fundraiser.

You can see the boxes stacked up against the wall behind Chord, there were LOTS of them!

 Chord was the only boy with 10 other girls =o) so he kinda kept to himself and folded all the boxes... 

...while I made pies =o) We had 4 different kinds; chocolate, lemon (this one was the yummiest), pecan and sweet potato (yuck) :D I made pecan pies with two other girls. I had the pecan pie recipe memorized after about 15 pies, haha. It was fun, but it took us about 10 hours total, and by the end of the day we were all sick of seeing pies!

Shooting

I was looking through some old pictures, and found these from a couple years ago. We stayed out in a cabin on Chena Hot Springs Road for a week and one day we did some target shooting =o)

It was lots of fun!
