~~You Hear Me When I Call~~

I've wondered, Lord, how it can be
You hear me when I call.
I'm only one of millions, and
Your love is over all.

How can it be Your Holy ear
Is tuned to hear my cries?
How can you know what troubles me
And see tears in my eyes?

Do I presume too much when I
Approach Your sacred throne,
And dare to think that I can spend
Some time with You alone?

Sometimes I am so weary
I don't even want to pray.
I feel confused; things all look wrong;
I don't know what to say.

In quietness and confidence,
I seek a place apart,
And rest until I feel Your Spirit
Touch my trembling heart.

Although I cannot understand
Somehow, I know you've heard,
Like lovers who communicate
Without a single word.

You are so great! I am so small.
I'm glad it is this way.
All things are possible with You;
You hear me when I pray.

Great God of all the universe,
In joy or in distress,
I rest myself in all You are
For you are limitless!

~~Hey everyone~~

Just added some music to my blog and was wondering of anybody can hear it and if it works..
Also Jason got another offer from his Med. Board and he will be signing the papers on Monday and then he should get his orders and then we are off to our new desination..Racine,Wis. We are really excited to get back into the ministry and doing the Lords work..
Well need to get the kids to bed..Have a BLESSED day!!!

~~What a scare~~

It was about 4am and I just rolled over on my left side and I could not breath.I woke up Jason and he helped me out of bed and I was still having a hard time and he was about to call 911 when it started to subside. I told him it was hurting from my spin all the way across to middle of my chest..So this morning I have a Doc. apt to see what is going on..I am very sore today and when I take a deep breath it still hurts a little.. Sure will let you all know what is happening..

***** Well I went in and heard from the radiologist this morning and I have a pretty good size tear from my shoulder blade along my rib cage.I have to go back in at 1:45 today to let them take another look at it and go from there..Thanks to all who prayed..*****

~~My Best Friend~~

He loves me when I'm angry.
He cheers me when I'm sad.
He knows my deepest darkest sins.
He forgives me when I'm bad.

He's always right beside me,
Through the worst parts of my day.
He guides me when I'm tempted,
And my heart begins to stray.

He taught me about emotions,
How to laugh and how to cry.
He taught me how to love again,
and aim for that place on high.

I know He will never leave me,
He will be there till the end.
I've always called Him Jesus
And I'm glad He's my best friend.

~~Its Our Anniversary~~

June 17, 1995 was our big day!!!

And 12yrs later we are still in Love.

~~The Road Map~~

Every night when I lie in bed
I talk to GOD in my way,
I thank HIM for HIS blessings;
But especially for today.

Many years have now gone past,
Since I was first struck down.
I've wondered why I made it through,
And why I'm still around.

I've never questioned why it was
Or what HE had me do.
I only know there is a plan,
And I will see it through.

They say we're given mountains,
That we must always climb.
But HE'LL never give you a problem
That can't be solved with time.

Just look at every set back,
As a test of HIS true love.
And know that HE is always there,
Watching from above.

You may not get the answer,
That you were praying for.
But you can find your way out,
By just looking for the door.

For when that door is opened;
And GOD'S love fills up your heart.
Then you will know what true love is,
And you'll never more depart.

Remember, you are special,
Just follow all HIS signs.
Go travel life's long highway
Always stay between the lines.

Dedicated to all those who
have asked WHY?

I have in my hands two boxes,

Which God gave me to hold.

He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,

And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,

Both my joys and sorrows I stored,

But though the gold became heavier each day,

The black was as light as before.

With curiosity, I opened the black,

I wanted to find out why,

And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,

Which my sorrows had fallen out by.

I showed the hole to God, and mused,

I wonder where my sorrows could be!

He smiled a gentle smile and said,

My child, they're all here with me..

I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,

Why the gold and the black with the hole

My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,

The black is for you to let go.

We should consider all of our friends a blessing.

Let them know you are thinking of them

and that they are a joy in your life.

A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end.

It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends.

But the treasure inside for you to see,

Is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.
