Reading...

Just finished two must-reads:

And:

I highly recommend both of these books. Francis Chan's book is a loving response to Rob Bell's book Love Wins. He quotes Rob Bell's book enough to get a strong feel for it, and yet lovingly corrects by expressing truth from God's Word.

Eim's book is fantastic. Very thought-provoking and extremely applicable as a mother.

Update...

At Judah's 4 month check-up he was 17 lbs., 5 oz. (I think!), and 26 1/2 inches long. Not sure about the head size. Something ginormous, I am sure. Hahaha. The doctor said he looks like a 6 month old, and pretty much acts like a 6 month old. He has been rolling from tummy to back for a little while now, but about a week or so ago, I caught him rolling from back to tummy as well. He is a joy and pretty much the most exciting thing in our house. Second would be the new math books.

Happy Birthday Caleb...

Dear Caleb,

I can't believe you are seven years old!! I can't believe that I am writing this in cursive and you can read it!! (I am copying the note Caleb received this morning.)

I am so thankful to be your mommy. You love God's Word, and you are learning more and more about how much we all need Jesus.

My prayer for you, Caleb, is that you would be amighty warrior for God's Kingdom, and that you would use your gifts and talents to serve Him.

I pray that God will be able to say the same thing about you that he said about the Caleb of the Bible, that "he has a different spirit in him and has followed me fully." (Numb. 14:24)

Love,

Mommy (and Daddy!)
