Baby Shower

My sweet friends threw us a baby shower...they were so generous...it was so much fun!!

There was even a little pickup truck cake :)

Its really nice to just celebrate life whole-heartedly sometimes...there is nothing to fear!

hope-full thoughts...

*NOTHING is a surprise to God

*NOTHING can change His Goodness, nothing can lessen it, dampen it, squelch it...He will not be deterred from extravagantly and shamelessly loving YOU

*He is so much bigger than your worst nightmare, more powerful, more enduring, more than sufficient...

*Cancer is such a scary word for us...to Him it is as concerning as strep throat...He knows it intimately, knows how to treat it, is not even slightly intimidated by it...

*The joy of the Lord is our strength!

*the story of Jehoshaphat in II Chronicles 20...the Lord fights our battles for us, when all seems lost and we have no ability to defend ourselves, it is all completely worked out by His hands, His plan, His time, His ability in a disaster to shower us with blessings!

Come Alive by Warren Barfield

What on earth am I missing

What is it that I don't see

Is there someone somewhere out there

Crying out

Am I truly not noticing

Or just refusing to believe

Do I choose to feed my faithless self

With doubt

All of heaven is falling all around me

And I am drowning in the mystery of Your love

All the universe can't contain Your beauty

But You come alive in me

You come alive

I'm not flying on angel wings

I'm not swinging from no tree

I got love and hate and the will to change

And choose

I have a smile that You gave me

You have a love that I need

When I'm down, You know just how

To lift my mood

You bring me to life

Yeah it feels just like

I've been born again

For the first time, for the first time...

Hiding Place by Sara Groves

Early when the day is new

Before the stirring

I will come and talk to You

And confess the ways I am broken

To recall the words You've spoken

And to try to comprehend

The love You have for me

You are my hiding place

You fill my broken heart with songs

Songs of deliverance

You sing of how the weak are strong

You never meant for me to walk alone

You are always for me

As the truest lover of my soul

You hear my desperate calling

You have kept my feet from falling

And have set me on this rock on which I'm standing now

You are my hiding place

You fill my broken heart with songs

Songs of deliverance

You sing of how the weak are strong

And I believe You

For You've saved me from my darkness and my shame

And I believe You

For I hear Your song of beauty through the pain

A Bend in the Road

by Helen Steiner Rice

When we feel we have nothing left to give

And we are sure that the song has ended,

When our day seems over and the shadows fall

And the darkness of night has descended,

Where can we go to find the strength

To valiantly keep on trying?

Where can we find the hand that will dry

The tears that the heart is crying?

There's but one place to go and that is to God,

And, dropping all pretense and pride,

We can pour out our problems without restraint

And gain strength with Him at our side.

And together we stand at life's crossroads

And view what we think is the end,

But God has a much bigger vision,

And He tells us it's only a bend.

For the road goes on and is smoother,

And the pause in the song is a rest,

And the part that's unsung and unfinished

Is the sweetest and richest and best.

So rest and relax and grow stronger,

Let go and let God share your load.

Your work is not finished or ended,

You've just come to a bend in the road.
