**A reading her bible in the train**
**Uncle A and A caught a lot of fish**
**me and my baby**
so usually i say, i'm not promoting something... today i am. please if you get a chance pick up the book, "magnificent obsession" by anne graham lotz. i've heard her speak and now reading this book, i'm so in love with her. the book is so challenging and makes you want to shout Jesus in all that you do and say....
throughout the book, i'm halfway done, but i feel the Lord speaking directly to my heart with the questions she is asking in the book. He's definitely using this book to mold me and shape me more...
my question... why do we let ourselves be so mediocre?
read the book....

wednesday is P's birthday... he would have been 31 years old... today i told A that we will do something for daddy's birthday... and she said, "but mommy, he's in heaven." it's definitely for me. i told her it was just to remember daddy and she smiled and asked what i wanted to do. :)
we were totally birthday people... we would start celebrating at least a month ahead, he usually did two months ahead for me. my first birthday together we celebrated almost a whole month... ha ha...
i miss enjoying special days together.

I LOVE CHRISTMAS. i miss the snow and stuff, but Christmas is so great... to think of Jesus coming down on this earth in the most lowly way possible for little me... it's such a joyful season... brings hope to all peoples...
I love decorating for Christmas. we now have different presents under the tree. so excited!!! A is definitely excited too. Trying to make the focus Jesus and not the gifts though. Please pray for that.

A said some cute things...
**we were on the way to see some friends on the train. as a way to entertain my daughter, we played a game... i asked, "what do you smell with?" she would answer, "nose."
"what do you eat with?"
"your teeth"
"what do you see with"
"eyes"
"what do you feel with?"
"hands"
"what do you hear with?"
"ears"
"what do you think with?"
"eyes"
"wait you just said you see with your eyes. you think with your brain A."
"no mommy i think with my eyes"
then A furrows her eyebrows and says... "see".
I LAUGHED SO HARD!!!!
**on the way back we were playing another game...

A answered, "me"
"who's taller?"
"you"
"who's bigger?"
"you"
"who's smarter?"
"me"
"who's got longer hair?"
"you"
"who's prettier?"
