I really love this song and wanted to share it with you guys!

 

If I saw You on the street
And You said come and follow me
But I had to give up everything
All I once held dear and all of my dreams

Would I love You enough to let go
Or would my love run dry
When You asked for my life

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me

If You’re all You claim to be
Then I’m not losing anything
So I will crawl upon my knees
Just to know the joy of suffering

I will love You enough to let go
Lord, I give you my life
I give you my life

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me

I want to be where You are
I’m running into Your arms
And I will never look back
So Jesus, here is my heart

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
My Father, my love
You can have me

It has been such blessing to be able to live in a rural area again. To wake up to birds singing and the chickens clucking, waiting to be let out of their pen. To be able to hunt squirrels and turkeys, work in the garden, enjoy the sunshine and cool breezes.

 We are in a small town that has a great library and sweet people. It has been so wonderful to have people make eye contact and smile at you.

There are things that I definitely miss about being in Atlanta, not being able to spend lots of time with cousins and seeing folks from church more often.

I can definitely see that God had a plan when He moved us to Atlanta, much to our chagrin. He brought people and family into our life that we otherwise wouldn't have known. He helped us feel "at home" even when we were out of our comfort zone.

Being able to move here has reminded me how God is so good to take us to places where He knows we will be happiest. I am so thankful for these little reminders of how much He loves us.

Last Saturday night we went to the Third Day concert at the Fox for Dad's birthday!! All of our family went together to send us.  I have always wanted to see Third Day in concert, I love their music and seeing them in concert was amazing. 

We also got to see Colton Dixon and Josh Wilson.  Josh Wilson was really cool, he was by himself on the stage with only a guitar and he looped all the music.  So he would play the different parts of the song and then layer them, so he was basically a one man band. Kinda like Bert from Mary Poppins...kinda.

At one part of the show when Third Day was playing, I noticed that on the side of the stage there were people watching and there were also some little kids back there dancing.  A little girl started to run out on stage only to be stopped.  I could tell that she couldn't understand why she couldn't go on stage because clearly her daddy was out there.  It was super cute. Also Mac Powell had his daughter come and sing Agnus Dei with him which was really cool.

So if Third Day comes into your area GO SEE THEM! and as far as I'm concerned Dad can have a birthday any time, especially if it means I get to go to an awesome concert!!
