Still Waiting...

I have come to a moment of frustration. For awhile there I felt I couldn't keep up with the favor of God on my family but its seems it has paused or taken on a different fragrance.

Our house is still on the market with no showings. I realize the market is bad right now but I am still having faith that our house will sell!

My mothers doctors have still not made a decision on the transplant. Waiting...waiting...waiting... That's all we're doing right now. Still wondering what to prepare ourselves for...

Nathan and I have decided to start trying for a second baby...for those that don't know, it took us a year and a half, fertility testing, and fertility drugs to get our little London. So be praying that this time it just happens. I just want it to happen without all the other...

Anyway, I am trying to press in and still grab hold of the promises I know that are in store for our family. I believe there is still an awesome testimony to be told. I am starting to realize there is a greater lesson to be learned. One of patience, perserverance, and most importantly upmost faith that God knows the plans he has for us!

Which brings me to my new song of the moment... "Hope Now" by Addison Road:

If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of
When I call out Your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm Yours
I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok and
Make it through the rain
You are my shelter from the storm
You've become my hearts desire
I will sing Your praises higher
Cause Your love sets me free

Bringing It All...

So as part of my new years resolution of worshiping Him more...I am trying out song writing. I'm totally raw in this attribute besides the every so often diddy I might sing in my car or while rocking London to sleep. I'm not sure how its going to go but I made my first attempt. It's really kind of an emotional throwup. I guess I 'll have to work on a main subject next time. Anyway, thought I'd share...


V1
It is by grace I stand
In Awe I bow
By the workings of your hands
By the knowing of this soul
You bring me to this place
A place of rest
For the Glory You behold
For the Honor of Your Name

Chorus
I’m bringing it all to your throne
A heart that’s willing
And a Testament untold
I’m bringing it all to your feet
A desperation cry
With a faith unshaken

V2
With a tattered veil
And unclear path
I’m reaching for Your Cup
I’m begging for Your hand
With a foggy mind
And broken steps
I’m looking for Your way
I’m asking for Your light

Bridge
I’m bringing it all to Your Throne
I’m bringing it all to Your feet
I’m reaching for Your cup
I’m begging for your Hand
I’m bringing it all to Your throne
I’m bringing it all to Your feet
I’m looking for Your way
I’m asking for Your light
