Isaiah 43:1-3, 7, 10-13

But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior... Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.... “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”

Michaela's 4th Birthday!

We celebrated Michaela's birthday a little early this year, since we will be in Sucre with Uncle Erik, Aunt Jenny and cousins Zion and Mia on her actual day. It's hard to believe that the little baby we brought into the world 4 years ago is now writing, reading letters, climbing trees and SO big! Most people mistake her for being at least 6 years old instead of 4! Micheala's little life has brought us so much happiness and challenged us as well... in a good way. I am thankful to be her mommy and daily pray for the wisdom to raise all 3 of these precious children.


We had team time at our house this month complete with an Easter egg hunt and of course - Michaela's party.


The 3 amigos!


Michaela requested a ballet slipper cake.


We also had a small party at her school.


I made flower and caterpillar cupcakes (Michaela calls them 'pupcakes')! I thought they turned out real cute!
