Quotable Quote


" I bend to sweep crumbs and I bend to wipe vomit and I bend to pick up
little ones and wipe away tears... And at the end of these days I bend next to
the bed and I ask only that I could bend more, bend lower. Because I serve a
Savior who came to be a servant. He lived bent low. And bent down here is where I see His face. And people say, “Don’t you get tired?” and yes, I do. But I’m face to face with Jesus in the dirt, and the more I bend the harder and better and fuller this life gets. And sure, we are tired, but oh we are happy. Because bent down low is where we find fullness
of Joy.” ― Katie J.Davis

Ava's White Belt

Ava has begged me for a long time to put her in karate. After about 2 years I decided she must be serious and I signed her up for Tae Kwon Do. When we went to meet with the owner, Master Moon, he was very impressed with her kicking. He talked to her about respecting others and being grateful. One thing I like about karate is it is about self-confidence, self-control, and of course self-defense. Anyway so I got a babysitter (thank heavens cause it was 2.5 hours long) and went to Ava's first belt test. I'm proud of my darling baby!
