"See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat? or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?" For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them." Matthew 6:28

Watermark on Pandora

I have had my pandora station on Watermark these past couple of weeks and I have really enjoyed hearing new songs.  I don't own any of their cd's or tracks on Itunes except for Knees to the Earth which I absolutely love!  (It was played in our wedding while Drew and I took communion together.)  I love the simplicity of the words and I feel like my heart really connects with the lyrics.

Here is a song I heard today that I really enjoyed.  It's titled Incorruptible by Watermark.

Incorruptible, indescribable
Salvation's calling...
When I was longing...
Now You're the strength that holds my life
With a love that will never die
And never fade like the flowers...
It is a love that stands forever!

Oh I am not redeemed by corruptible things
Not by silver, not by gold
And not by aimless tradition
But by the blood of God's sacred Son Jesus ...
Oh You alone are my living hope
And my inheritance is...
Incorruptible

Incomparable, inconceivable
Your plans for me...
Shall always be...
And for the day that You're revealed
My heart is forever sealed
With the promise of mercy...
And the hope of all Your glory!

Oh sacred Son
Who paid the price
Oh may I live a grateful life
That magnifies Your name forever! 

So grateful for a God who continually pursues me and loves me.

Moooore Colorado Pictures

Here's a few pretty pictures from Colorado:

We stayed with Drew's Uncle Joe, Aunt Robbin, and cousin Ashleigh.  They have a beautiful home in Colorado Springs and own a little French Restaurant called La Baguette:



And a beautiful garden:

 


 I think you get the point.  It is beautiful.  And as if their backyard garden wasn't enough....
This is the Frodge's view from their front yard:  Pike's Peak & Garden of the Gods!  Absolutely stunning!




We also saw multiple deer in the neighbors' backyards


 Oh what's that?  You want to see pictures of La Baguette too?  Fine:  Welcome to La Baguette!




 (Uncle Joe serving us lunch)


I know you are wondering what we ordered, and because I'm putting off doing homework I'll comply.  Drew and I shared some cheese fondue and a roast beef sandwich with french onion soup du jour?  (Did I say that right?  I don't cook fancy things and I don't speak French, someone help me out!) 

 This is Gwen and Robin with their dad (Drew's grandpa) after our wonderful lunch.  This was the first time I met him and I'm glad I was able to.  I love this picture!

Aaaaand here's some pictures from our hike up The Manitou Incline.


From the TOP!  What a workout!!


But we were so happy to be able to say we did it!!  Thanks for taking us Ash (she's a pro)!

So, I know some of you are wondering... how are the Frodge's related to the Bensons?  Well, take a little gander at these next few pictures.  This is Drew's mom and her sister Robin!  Just try and tell me they don't look like sisters.  They are almost exactly 1 year apart!




It was fun to watch them.  They are alike in many ways and have so much fun together!  I hope this is how my sister and I will be in a couple years down the road!  (My sis and I are 20 months apart.)

Now that this post is extremely long and the list of pictures I have not included is so much longer... I'm going to say farewell, until next time.  

(I may or may not include more pictures.  But for those of you that MUST see the rest of them.  Just go HERE already.)
