Here is Noelle and her daddy enjoying a swim in the Goebel's pool on our way up to Fresno this past weekend. We didn't have plans to swim but after Ryan put her feet in, there was no stopping her. She had to swim! She loves water!

HAPPY EASTER
This Easter we spent the day at my Grandma's house and had a little easter egg hunt. It was also my birthday, which I enjoyed having on Easter.

Good Friday
"Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love." John 13:1
During Noelle's nap today has been a very reflective time for me. It was a year ago Good Friday that I gave birth to Noelle, a brief time of suffering and pain that ushered in a year of blessing and joy. I read chapters 13-16 in the book of John this morning and am left in awe of what God has done for us. Jesus, God in the flesh, being punched in the face and handing himself over to the control of men, he suffered much that we might be with Him, that we might know His glory and His love.
I remember the attitude in which I waited for the labor pains to begin and the one that I had when they came. My love for my daughter and my anticipation of having her in my arms prepared me for any pain and I would gladly do it over again, because she's here and she's mine. I know that my little experience pales in comparison to what Christ has done and yet the things of this earth so often give us glimpses of how great His love is and how beautiful the act is of Him offering Himself up for His children that we might remain in Him forever.
