Big Day!

I'm slowing making some progress on the new design - it would be easier if Blogger would cooperate.
Slowly but surely.
New Header . . . love it. It's a mix a things that make up the Tharpes. I'll post about it soon.
And just ignore the blue post titles & the gray boxes, oh and the shadows under the pics . . . as soon as Blogger starts working correctly again, that will all be taking care of.

Moving on . . . .

Yesterday was a big day for us. . .


After weeks of questions, lots of prayers & conversations . . . . The God of the Universe knew that Friday, June 14, 2013 was to be Ella's day of Salvation and on our bed,  in mine & Brock's arms, she prayed for Him to come live inside of her. And on Father's Day, her Daddy had the privilege of baptizing her.

It's the moment of parenting that you most wait for & feel the most inadequate for.

I kept thinking about the night she & Sophie were born & how we gave them to Him that night.
It was almost like coming full circle.
Thank God that our children are His - they're just on loan to us & when He's ready, He calls them to Him.

Ella, we love you more than you will ever know & are so proud of you, not just this day but every day.
We can't wait to see what God has planned for you!
