Deep as the ocean
Right as rain
This powerful emotion
lifts me up above the plain
It's taking me to places
I never thought I'd go
Showing me a grace
I never thought I'd know
When I feel like I can't go on
You deliver me
And when the road is winding
And way too long
You deliver me
You deliver me
I feel like a sinner
Whose sins have been washed clean
An absolute beginner
Whose heart has never seen
I must be forgiven
For sometimes asking why
I was chosen to be given
You in this life
When I feel like I can't go on
You deliver me
And when the road is winding
And way too long
You deliver me
You deliver me
When there's a distance
Between what I am
And who I wanna be
You deliver me
When I feel like I can't go on
You deliver me
And when the road is winding
And way too long
You deliver me
You deliver me
When I feel like I can't go on
You deliver me
And when the road is winding
And way too long
You deliver me
You deliver me

His Love
17 The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
~Zephaniah 3
I may post this verse 30 million times on my blog. Because everyone needs to read it some time or other. And then read it again.
And again...
And again....He loves you....He loves you.
He loves you.

God Knows
God knows....
every cry of our heart.
every thought in our head.
every hope in our heart.
every stronghold in our head.
every struggle in our heart.
every doubt in our head.
every beat of our heart.

Normal Marriages
"Of course marriage is hard. For heaven's sake, bring together a man and a woman-two creatures who think, act, and feel so differently you would think they'd come from separate solar systems--and ask them to get along for the rest of their lives under the same roof. That is like taking Cinderella and Huck Finn, tossing them in a submarine, and closing the hatch. What did you think would happen?
Now, while you are at it, toss into that constantly-in-your-face experience all our fears, our wounded hearts, our self-centeredness, our self-doubt, and our resolute commitment to self-protection. Good Lord. Anyone looking for undeniable proof in the existence of God need look no further--the fact that any marriage makes it is a miracle of the first order. Bona fide proof that there are forces in the universe working on behalf of mankind.
All those fairy tales about a boy and a girl who find themselves thrown together into an adventure in a dangerous land, and how they must come to work together if they have any hope of making it through, but they are both carrying a tragic flaw, an Achilles' heel that pricks the other constantly and they barely do make it through---those fairy tales pretty much have it right.
In fact, if you look back at the first marriage, that almost fairy-tale-like story in Genesis, you will see that Adam and Eve had a pretty rough go at it. And they didn't even have parents to screw them up as children or friends giving them ridiculous advice. My goodness, the fall of man seems to come during the honeymoon, or shortly thereafter. (and how many honeymoon stories reenact that little drama?) They hit rough water as soon as they set sail, poor things. If this is the story of the first marriage, it is a bit sobering.
But it also gives us encouragement, too. It is normal for marriage to be hard. Even the best of marriages."

Ellie Update
Thank you so much to all of you who have been praying for Ellie.
A couple nights after I asked for prayer.......she stopped crying and complaining of pain.
When we went to see the specialist on Wednesday last week, her test results were fine.
He seems to think she has a constipation issue going on (even though she flings poo just fine
once every day). He said some kids need to poop more often than that because maybe she
isn't getting rid of "all of it" every time she goes and excess poo can create bacteria.
Sooooooooooo........we have started Metamucil (sp??) I think is what it's called.
But honestly...........she hasn't complained at all the past week. We BELIEVE in the POWER OF PRAYER. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have no idea what a relief it is that she is sleeping peacefully at night and going potty without crying!
Luke 11:9
"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. "
