Thanksgivings #1

16.8.13



♥Weather: Wow!! Have we had amazing weather, yes it has been kinda hot these last few weeks but honestly nobody knows what is going on with the weather this year. We have had low temperatures (for GA) and rain almost every day!! Then today when I woke up it was cool like, a nice fall day in Montana cool. It has been glorious!! I am praying that we continue to have this weather until we leave!!
 ♥Family: It has been such a blessing to have Grandma out here!! We have been trying to steal as many little visits with Aunt Jenn, Uncle T and the kids as we can. I am really looking forward to the end of next week when we will all be hanging out and spending our last few days as a family together.

♥Friends: To know that I have so many loving friends and family praying for me means so much!! It has been such a blessing to be able to Skype and/or FaceTime with friends during these past weeks, to be able to see peoples faces and hear their voices is so amazing!! 

♥Technology: Really technology is an amazing thing. It makes far distances seem not so far and keeping in contact such an easy thing. I can't imagine what it would be like without the ability to send someone an e-mail or text! 
♥Going: It is such a joy to know that we are actually, physically going. Not just mentally and spiritually, we are physically putting our bodies on a plane headed to another country next weekend. What an amazing and yet surreal moment it will be!!


 ♥Prayer Requests♥
  • Perseverance as we are finishing packing and getting everything together
  • Traveling mercies as we travel down to Atlanta this weekend for our last Sunday at church
  • That our last Sunday at church would be a sweet time of fellowship and that we could rejoice in the Lord together
  • Peace for me about moving to France
  • That I would be surprised and love France when we get there
So I would love to keep in contact with you all!! If it is possible to Skype, Face Time or just use the good 'ol telly to talk to you guys before we leave I would love it!! No matter what I really want to keep in touch through e-mail and the blog. It means so much to me when I get an e-mail with encouraging words or just a short note that says "Hi"! 

Love you all!!

Music Mondays ~ How He Loves Us

8.7.13


How He Loves Us by David Crowder

~

He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us oh,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

Oh how he loves,
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves.

And we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.
And Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don't have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way...

Oh, how He loves us oh,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
How He loves

Yeah, He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
Oh what love

Yeah, He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us so.

~

Remember, that in His love He has provided and ocean of grace, and we're all sinking.

Music Mondays ~ You Can Have Me

30.4.13

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
