i heart ny...

well, last weekend, my dad, my sister and i finally got to go to NY!! (this post is for you, ericka!! :)

beware... many pictures to follow. i won't post all we took. i think between the 3 of us, we took almost 250 or more? most of these have at least one of the 3 of us in there. wanted to make it at least personal!! ha. unfortunately, we somehow got out of NY without a single picture of the 3 of us together. boo. we had a great time! although, at times, we definitely realized that we have NEVER been together that long before! my family is great for putting up with me!! enjoy the pics!

ahhh.... the m&m store.... :)

we look happy surrounded by chocolate, don't we?!

worth it

ever have one of those days? well, i've had one of those weeks/weekend. nothing big has really happened. just a "down" week. and i just need to remember that no matter what, He's with me. and He deserves my praise, more than anything.

and i was just sitting here at work with my iPod playing and this song came on. what a good reminder... so i thought i would share - with all 2 of you who read my blog. :)

"Worth It All" by Rita Springer

I don't understand Your ways
Oh but I will give You my song
Give You all of my praise
You hold on to all my pain
With it You are pulling me closer
And pulling me into Your ways

Now around every corner
And up every mountain
I'm not looking for crowns
Or the water from fountains
I'm desperate in seeking, frantic believing
That the sight of Your face
Is all that I need
I will say to You

It's gonna be worth it
It's gonna be worth it
It's gonna be worth it all
I believe this
It's gonna be worth it
It's gonna be worth it
It's gonna be worth it all
I believe this

You're gonna be worth it
You're gonna be worth it
You're gonna be worth it all
I believe this
You're gonna be worth it
You're gonna be worth it
You're gonna be worth it all
I believe this

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." - 2 Cor 4 16-18
