I can face tomorrow.

With two little babies and a part time job that I love, blogging has been put on the back burner.  So, here is an update.

-Baby Luke is doing amazing.  Seriously, the best baby. ever.  He sleeps 10 hours at night (though he squeaks in his sleep and keeps his Mommy from sleeping..) and can raise his head up while on his belly.

-Emma had her first cold of the winter season.  Other than that, she is a healthy, mouthy, independent little thing.  She amazes us at how much she learns each day.  Her favorite activity is going outside with her Daddy.

-Katie and Garrett (don't you love how I refer to us in the 3rd person) are taking dates every so often, but we are planning on taking more soon.  Life is definitely different with our sweet ones.  We are exhausted more than we are energized.  And our "efforts" to do P90x are limited..lol!



So much has been going on in my mind. More than I can type.  We are currently living in such a trying time in our world. Its Biblical, and inevitable.  But sometimes don't you just feel like the weight of the world is too much? Like you don't see the purpose in trying? I was thinking/talking to God today and He laid this song on my heart.  I bet I hadn't sung it in years and years, and instantly I'm remembering every tune.  It is not just a song, but a promise, a hope.  We do not have to fear death, we do not have to fear bringing children into this evil world.

Well, let me share with you the song-

Bill Gaither wrote this song.  We used to sing it at Enon Baptist a long time ago when we went there.  Its called "Because He lives."

God send His son, they call Him Jesus.
He came to love, heal and forgive
He lived and died, to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know, He holds the future.
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

How sweet to hold, a newborn baby
And feel the pride, and joy he gives
But greater still, the calm assurance (wow!)
This child CAN face uncertain days because He lives!

Because He lives, I CAN FACE TOMORROW!....


What a peaceful, assuring song.  This world is not our home, and we do not have to fear what is to come.  God wants us to be prepared and to stand firm on His righteousness, even in the midst of evil.  I think of the verse, "Train a child up in the way he shall go, and when he is older, he shall never depart from it." Prov. 22:6

I hope that you have a blessed day and that you know- because He lives, YOU can face tomorrow :)
