"May God bless you and keep you always, may your wishes all come true, may you always do for others, and let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung. May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true, may you always know the truth, and see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong, may you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift, may you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful and may your song always be sung. May you stay forever young." -Bob Dylan


"Not talking about a year, no not three or four. I don't want that kind of forever in my life anymore. Forever always seems to be around when it begins, but forever never seems to be around when it end. So give me your forever, please your forever. Not a day less will do from you.
People spend so much time every single day runnin' 'round all over town givin' their forever away. But no not me, I won't let my forever roam and now I hope I can find my forever a home. So give me your forever, please your forever. Not a day less will do from you.
Like a handless clock with numbers, an infinite of time. No not the forever found only in the mind. Forever always seems to be around when things begin, but forever never seems to be around when things end. So give me your forever, please your forever. Not a day less will do from you." - Ben Harper

Ready for fall...

Boy has it been a hot summer down here in Apex, NC. I guess there has been no motivation to update the blog since the house has been finished, but frankly, there are a lot more exciting things to tell everyone about than our accomplishments. We ran into some family friends tonight while we were out walking in the neighborhood and they shared a lot of wisdom. We live in the love and forgiveness of Christ. We just need to focus on how to love Him more each day we wake up. Our friend kept pointing to us and saying, "This is success. This is what success feels like. This is what success looks like. You will never know success more than you do right now. You are living for Christ." His whole point was that we shouldn't be living for anything but Christ. We go to heaven alone. We don't bring anything with us.
Shane and I have been learning a lot through our prayer life, times alone with the Lord, and experiences with people at work, circumstances at work, etc. Tonight's conversation was such a blessing...and we wanted to share it with y'all.
