Day 54: I take great joy in praying over and speaking truth over these boys in the morning! What a privilege it is to be their mom. I fail many times a day, but am so thankful God's love is faithful and forgiving!

"The Lord your God is with you, the Might Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you, but will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17

Day 55: Fun night with friends on the Boardwalk celebrating Paul's birthday and this is the only picture I took! Guess I was too busy talking and eating! Fries and burgers were delicious!

Swim, Jackson, Swim

Jackson competed in Winter and Spring champs.

Swimming is a family event!

He swam hard! Always so proud of him!

7 year old High point earner!

Spring Champs:

1st and 2nd places for Jackson today, and he dropped time in every race.

Love my little swimmer!

Brian's parents were here for about a month. We enjoyed spending time with them, the extra time for dates, and are so thankful for all they did for us!!

Here are a few pictures of our time with them:

#hartzeveryday2017 Week 7

Day 43: Our Grow Group to assemble blessing bags tonight. I loved how our children helped and prayed over these bags. It's a small way for us to #bekind and show God's love across our city. Lord, open our eyes and help us love like you.

Day 44: Special delivery for the boys' teachers and Valentine's for our friends! We are ready for tomorrow!

Day 45: Valentine's tradition!

Little surprises for my boys! All things Pokemon, which I don't understand at all! 

Day 46: I look forward to reading with this boy every other night!

Day 47: The best picture I got tonight, but they sure had fun playing together! 

 Day 48: Still loving my journaling Bible!

Day 49: Relationships matter!

It was a partying kind of day!

Memorizing Scripture V4:4

Genesis 15:1, NKJV, "Do not be afraid, Kyndra, I AM your shield, your exceedingly great reward."

A shield protects, intercepts/deflects attacks, guards, and is a line of defense. I am so thankful I that God is my shield. I have nothing to fear!

"You crush the enemy

underneath my feet

You are my sword and shield

Though troubles linger still

Whom shall I fear

I know who goes before me

I know who stands behind

The God of angel armies

Is always by my side."

Day 35: We figured we should have him to at least one home improvement project 

why he was here! :) 

Memorizing Scripture V4:3

Proverbs 3:3 "Let love (kindness) and faithfulness never leave you, bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart."

Pastor David is in the middle of a series on kindness, and I love what he said, "You can't build love and faithfulness; we must let it grow in Him and be empowered by the Lord."

This is also my prayer for my boys. I want to live this verse out daily so my boys can see what that looks like. I am going to need to surrender daily to Him and put aside my flesh.

I am overwhelmed by your affection. Thank you for the greatness and kindness of your love.- Bryan and Katie Torwalt
