The Jimenez Family



The moon and stars, they wept
The morning sun was dead
The Savior of the world was fallen
His body on the cross
His blood poured out for us
The weight of every curse upon Him

One final breath He gave
As heaven looked away
The Son of God was laid in darkness
A battle in the grave
The war on death was waged
The power of hell forever broken

The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death, where is your sting?
Our resurrected King
Has rendered you defeated

Forever He is glorified
Forever He is lifted high
Forever He is risen
He is alive, He is alive






It's been a long week.
Jason has traveled quite a bit lately and our time together has been filled with different commitments.
It is the season of life we are in...although I am wondering if it is just life period. 
We had decided that we needed a date night.
Just the two of us...time to be able to finish a conversation.
But that afternoon, we decided that what we really needed was a FAMILY date night.


No chores.
No cooking.



No cleaning up.
Just hanging out with each other...



being silly and having fun...


as a family.



I am a HUGE fan of date nights...but sometimes I think we look forward to "getting away".
Longing for the quiet moments and looking past the cumulative memories that slip past unnoticed. 
I want to take advantage of these special times. Spending intentional time together.
Cultivating meaningful conversation. Enjoying the personalities of each of our children.
Going on a date with a party of six.
