Hopie's solo in the Christmas play
Originally David was asked to sing this song for our church Christmas program. He didn't really want to do it but said he would if I bought him a video game. As he practiced, Hope would sing along. He has an amazing voice, but his heart wasn't in it. Eventually he said he didn't want to do it because it sounded like a little girl song. Hope immediately volunteered. I plugged in the soundtrack and let her try it. As she sang the song that I had heard over and over again, it finally moved me to tears. She may not be perfectly on key or have David's talent for singing, but she sang it from her heart and that made all the difference.
It was a great evening. Loved the youth Christmas play (written by Jeremy Minard!). Hope's solo was precious! She's going to be a great choir member someday. I love WatchNight services. Can't think of a better way to see in the New Year! Thanks Alice for posting these great pictures. Love, Dad
A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.
God has a plan… We may not know what it is… But we can know we’re in it!
To some, Christianity is an argument… To many, it is a performance… To a few, it is an experience.
Integrity is keeping my commitment even when the circumstances surrounding my commitment have changed.
"The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way."
"Kind words can be short & easy to speak, but their echos are truly endless."
"Change your thoughts & change your world."
"Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is a quiet voice at the end of the day, saying...I will try again tomorrow."
Words To Live By
I Corinthians 13:4-8
"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charith vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemingly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth."

I think she did a wonderful job. I started tearing up when she was singing.
