A Desert Song
(by Hillsong)

This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides
And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've recieved I will sow

Only a week to go!!

Well, I went to the Dr today and there has been no change, but Praise the Lord who is full of mercy and grace, the baby is growing well and I feel good! I can't believe I get to meet this baby in the next week or so! On another note, God is so good, Braxton had a fever all weekend and it finally broke early this morning, I love the healing power of God!

Beach vacation!!! RELAXATION!!!

























We had such an amazing beach vacation last week, it was so relaxing and such a fun time watching Lilly, Jonny and Brax play on the beach with their daddy!!! We stayed at Kure Beach at Fort Fisher in a cottage and got to go to the aquarium, visit some historic sites, eat some yummy fried shrimp and enjoy the fellowship of each other and my parents, "Mimi and G-Pa"!!! God is so good and we were reminded everyday of His creation, His beauty and His power!!!!! Lilly's favorite part of the trip was collecting seashells and building sand castles, Jonny's was "surfing," he loved body boarding and going deep into the ocean, and Braxton's was playing in the water and chasing the birds!!! My favorite part was enjoying the kids curiousities, the time spent talking about the Lord with my family and RELAXING before baby #4 arrives!!! Jonathan enjoyed so much playing with his babies and the deep conversations with his wife :) and in-laws!!! It was SPECIAL!!
