OUR NEW YELLOW BELT

Our Family Celebrated yesterday, as Aidan was promoted to a yellow belt in TaeKwon-Do!  Aidan has worked so hard the last few weeks, going four times each week with Mike.  Even when we were not home for almost three weeks, our mother-in-law faithfully took him 3 times each week just so he could be promoted in time. 

This week, He went to TKD day camp for 30 hours, AND went again 4 times at night for his weekly class!  That is dedication, over 34 hours of TKD!!!  Mike was happy to take him at night, and I was able to drop him off each morning before our trip to the city; while my mother-in-law picked him up for us each day. 

We are so very proud of Aidan!  We are also so very thankful for the patient, kind and respectful instructors at Mark Cashatt's TaeKwon-Do School in Souderton.  Master Cashatt, has been very understanding, accommodating, and such a wonderful example of patience, kindness and peace in our lives.  Each instructor, takes their time and is so patient with all of the kids-and especially with Aidan. 

Mike has been faithfully taking Aidan since February, at least 3 or 4 nights a week.  Aidan loves it, and is so strong, and motivated to continue and persevere. 

He is growing up so fast, where or where has my little man gone???  This has not been an easy time for Aidan.  He has has so much heartache and sorrow in his young life, and I am just knowing and believing that this is all teaching him, and making him stronger.  Enjoy the pics and the song- is one of his new favorites- It is a group called GRITS-

It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do

I'm on an island by my lonesome stranded
Low key and stayin' candid
Reflect on all the things I try my hand at
Church for the equations to persuasions I'm used to
Finding comfort in the zones of closet bones I get loose to
A mountainous fontaine
Spinnin' and monsoonin', grinnin' it's high octane
Explosive how I came
Rollin' down hills cause lifes a hastle
Encircled by my folly like a moat surround a castle
Stay afloat, catch a second wind
Thin
Is the air I breathe
Teary eyed nose runnin' wipe the snot on my sleeve
I'm callin' on the Savior to be all that I need
Please forgive me my behavior had me lost at light speed

It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do

The fear of never fallin' in love
And the tears after losin' the feelings of what you thought love was
Like the dirt still up under the rug (My life be like)
Bad characteristics covered in Christs blood
The joy of new birth and the pain of growin' up
The bliss between givin' my all and givin' up
The highs and lows
Paths and roads I chose
In the cold I froze
Tryin' to ease my woes
In this world of sin
Clothes to thin to fend
So to God I send
Words of help to win
In grumblings so deep letters could never express
So the sound of Ooh Aah beneath my breath projects

It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do

My life be like
Ooh Aah Ooh
Dum dum ditty
Here come that boy from the Capital City
Last up on the Grits new ditty
But eight bars or the truth well do (uh)
I believe theres a bride thats  stunnin
And I believe in the Kindgom Comming
I believe if you seek the truth
You don't need to look far cause it's gonna find you
So why oh why do I trip and stumble?
And ooh aah as commitment crumbles?
I can't believe that I'm here again....

It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do

Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip

Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
My life be like
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
