our site won

 I just recently got the award in the mail from the Love this site! awards that many of you voted for us for. Well, way to go, cause we won the “relationships” category for 2008!!

In other news, my daughter has apparently jumped from 2 to her teens in couple days. Today she was writing on the white board (this is a normal daily thing) and after spelling her name (she gets the first three letters out then just starts banging the marker aimlessly) she started yelling the funniest thing I have heard in a while: “I’m reppin LB” – which apparently means “I’m representing Long Branch (where we live)”. Someone taught her this like 2 months ago…and she completely just started saying today. She does it cause we all laugh. Anyway, I caught her on video saying it later in the car. Also, I caught a clip of her writing in the “sation” on the windows. This is a new favorite thing.

    Hi Darren,
    I just came across your blog as I was “blog-hopping.” (I think I saw the link on the “Small Things with Great Love” blog.)

    Anyway, I am so amazed at your faith. You have suffered what most people fear, and yet your faith is what shines through. My cousin died of cancer 5 years ago, leaving behind his wife and young daughter. The Lord comforted me and gave me hope, but it was devastating to the rest of our family – very difficult. Your message is so precious and so timely – people need to know that, no matter what happens in this life, God is good and God is love and God can be trusted.

    Your testimony is amazing – keep up the good work.

    And your daughter is gorgeous – I’m sure she is such a blessing to you!

    I kept playing that over and over and over man… Because she’s got FLOW. Seriously, she’s all chill the first stanza, then get’s all “what what!?” in the second…

    “I’m weppin’ ewl bee…
    I’M wepping ewl bee!”

    She’s got talent, man.
