Week 2 with the chicks

Here's a video of the chickens from this past week. Hilarious creatures. Growing like weeds. :)

They're growing!

We have had the baby chickens for one week now. In that week we have learned that baby chicks largely do not need much. 

Food.

Water.

Heat.

We add the electrolyte mix to the water to help them. And the grit to aid in digestion. But largely, they are fine. They do chicken things.

Peck.

Scratch.

Dig.

Sleep.

Flap their fledgling wings.

Eat.

Drink.

And more pecking, scratching and digging. :) 

It's hilarious to watch them!

They are growing every day. And quickly. So quickly, in fact, that Jody and I have begun to chronicle their growth before it's too late.

We also wanted to catch a quick video of them eating out of Jody's hand. Enjoy!

The pups playing...

I wanted to capture Eu-mi and Penny playing together. Here is a quick 1 minute video of them from a week or two ago.
Enjoy!

Christy Nockels 'Waiting Here For You'

Christy Nockels

'Waiting Here For You'

If faith can move the mountains
Let the mountains move
We come with expectation
Waiting here for you, I’m waiting here for you

You’re the Lord of all creation
And still you know my heart
The Author of Salvation
You’ve loved us from the start

CHORUS
Waiting here for You
With our hands lifted high in praise
And it's You we adore
Singing Alleluia

You are everything You’ve promised
Your faithfulness is true
And we're desperate for Your presence
All we need is You

CHORUS

Singing Alleluia
Alleluia, singing alleluia, alleluia

CHORUS

Waiting here for you
With our hands lifted high in praise
And it's You we adore
We're singing Alleluia

I'm singing Alleluia
Waiting here for you
With our hands lifted high in praise
And it's You we adore
Singing Alleluia
Singing Alleluia

New Music

I don't know about you, but I get antsy when I haven't heard new worship music in a while. My heart starts craving for something new. Fresh. That's when I happened upon my sister Anna's boyfriend Nate's blog: nclarke03.wordpress.com.  He posted the following video.

So here's a song by an artist that I personally didn't know about until now, Kristian Stanfill. Thanks, Nate!

 My Reward
I give my life again, every breath I have
For you are my reward
Jesus, take my life, a sacrifice
All I have is yours, all I have is yours


You are my reward, all I'm living for
I surrender all my life to you
All consuming Fire, you are my desire
No one else but you, I surrender all my life to you
All to you, my Jesus


Jesus, here I am with open hands
lifted high to you
could my heart contain all your love for me?
You're all I need to know, You're all I need to know


You are my reward, all I'm living for
I surrender all my life to you
All consuming Fire, you are my desire


No one else but you, I surrender all my life to you
All to you, my Jesus

Oh, nothing compares to knowing you
nothing compares to loving you
I'm giving my life to follow you, my King (3x)


You are my reward, all I'm living for
I surrender all my life to you
All consuming Fire, you are my desire
No one else but you, I surrender all
'Cause You are my reward, all I'm living for
I surrender all my life to you
All consuming Fire, you are my desire
No one else but you, I surrender all my life to you
All to you, my Jesus
All to you, my king
All to you

Nichole Nordeman - Brave

From the album Brave

 

The gate is wide

The road is paved in moderation

The crowd is kind

And quick to pull you in

Welcome to the middle ground

It’s safe and sound and

Until now it’s where I’ve been

‘Cause it’s been fear that ties me down to everything

But it’s been love, Your love, that cuts the strings

Chorus:

So long, status quo

I think I just let go

You make me want to be brave

The way it always was

Is no longer good enough

You make me want to be brave

Brave

I am small

And I speak when spoken to

But I am willing to risk it all

I saw Your name

Just Your name and I’m ready to jump

Even ready to fall

Why did I take this vow of compromise?

Why did I try to keep it all inside?

I’ve never known a fire that didn’t begin with a flame

Every storm will start with just a drop of rain

But, if You believe in me that changes everything
