Help me to remember...

I was sure by now
God you would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as You mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will life my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

*Lord give me the faith to TRUST you....no matter what*

Another one of my favorite songs....

Don’t know how it is You looked at me
And saw the person that I could be
Awakening my heart
Breaking through the dark
Suddenly Your grace

Like sunlight burning at midnight
Making my life something so
Beautiful, beautiful
Mercy reaching to save me
All that I need
You are so
Beautiful, beautiful

Now there’s a joy inside I can’t contain
But even perfect days can end in rain
And though it’s pouring down
I see You through the clouds
Shining on my face

I have come undone
But I have just begun
Changing by Your grace

*Thank you God for seeing the true me... no matter what*

What Faith Can Do......

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

I love love love this song....it speaks so loudly to me right now

Saying good-bye.....

is never easy but I have learned that it is a part of life.

We had a farewell reception for our Children's Pastor and his family yesterday but they were so much more then just our Children's Pastor.

I remember the first time I meet his wife (Misty), it was at our Princess Luncheon. She looked so nervous but I knew after talking to her just once that we were going to be good friends. Little did I know at the time that I would end up babysitting their daughter, Cece. It was all God, I was quiting my job and they were having a problem with the childcare so I stepped in to help. During that time I really got close to not only the kids but to Misty and Trinity and we had a blast. I loved spending time with them and our families got very close. We watched each others kids grow, Pastor T saw Ashlee and Britney move from children's church to youth and he and Misty both invested so much in their lives, and I truly believe that they are the young ladies of God today because of the things they learned in children's church.

Misty and Trinity you both will be GREATLY missed!!!!!!!! We love you and you will always have a special place in our hearts.

And T thanks for all the awesome staff lunches....they won't be the same without you!!!!!!

Another week....

has come and gone. Nothing too exciting going on here, same stuff just a different day.

Went to a Women's Conference this weekend with the Life Coaching Ladies and had a blast...as always. I love spending time with these ladies, they have enriched my life so much and I will forever be grateful to them for that.

Life at home is normal. Kirsti got her first job and she is loving it, well she is actually loving the paychecks...lol. Everyone is doing good in school, FCATS are this week so the girls are a little stressed about that but they always do really well on them so I am not sure why they stress so bad but they do. Austin is working on finishing his school and should be able to take his test for his diploma is a little while.

Tom's work is going good. Slow from time to time but it is picking up some. Him and Austin have a couple of jobs lined up and are working on getting more accounts, so we will see.

That is how life has been going in our world for the last week or so....not too exciting but its life!!!!!!!!!!

WHY.....

* is it soooo hard for some people to believe that other people can change?

* is it soooo wrong to want something more for your life?

* is it soooo hard for people to let go of the past?

* is it soooo hard for people to be happy for others?

* is it soooo wrong to want to move on with your life?

* is it soooo wrong to want to be treated with respect?

These are just a few question I have running around in my head right now. I wish people could let things go and learn to live their own lives and not be so concerned about what others are doing with their lives!!!!!!!
