Be Still

Be Still and Know That I Am God

My child, what I mean is:
Though the earth be removed,
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with swelling,
Though the wind blow,
Though the storm rage;
IN OTHER WORDS
Though your bills are due,
Though they give you a hard time on your job,
Though your husband won't act right,
Though your wife won't act right,
Though your children are disobedient,
Though there's sickness in your body,
Though your enemies get on your nerves;
Stop your WORRIES!
Stop your COMPLAINING!
Stop your DOUBTING!
Stop your FROWNING!
Cease your fears, and dry up those tears!
For I'm right there to comfort you,
I'm right there to guide you,
I'm right there to hold you up,
I'm right there to heal you,
I'm right there to deliver you.
So cast your cares upon me for I careth for you.
My child this is what I mean by being still and knowing
I AM GOD.

We went and spent the day with my Daddy today. I left feeling so down. We were able to get a lot done for him. I trimmed all of the rose bushes and sprayed them for bugs and disease. Jamie got the gutter fixed that the storm damaged. We pulled some weeds and took down a bush that needed to go. We came in and visited for awhile and I washed his dishes for him.

I feel so bad when I leave him. Lord, please bless my Dad tonight. Give him peace and let him rest.

PS I will explain this post later. I am so tired tonight. I just need to rest. :(

Freedom & Faith......

What does it mean to you?



I encourage you to watch the short video at http://www.gratitudecampaign.org/shortmovie.php. Did you ever stop to thank a soldier for their service to our county? Did you ever stop to think about the sacrifices that they make on a daily basis to keep our country free?


Here is a very moving and touching YouTube video. It is called "Cardboard Testimony".

A new day.......

(I took this picture after a storm on Thursday evening. It just reminded me that God is ever present. I don't tell God how big the storm is. I tell the storm how big my God is!)

A New Day by Celine Dion

A new day has...come

I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear

Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you

Hush, love

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun

A new day has...come
Where it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy

Hush, love

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun

A new day has...come
A new day has...come
Ohhh, a light... OOh


This song has so much meaning for me. I truly believe that my Mom has sent Kyleigh to me and my family. Since losing her in September of 2006, life has a whole new meaning for me. I never knew that you could miss someone so much. Kyleigh has brought so much joy into our lives.



Mama, thanks for sending Kyleigh to us! She is such a blessing and such a joy! We love and miss you so much! Can't wait to see you again!

Praising Him always,


Leah
