Photobucket Thursday Update

I'm early!!!! Mike is at work. The older two boys are at work. Jared is at a friend's. They will take him to CAP tonight. The kids and I will go in later for the promotion ceremony and reception.

I had a shocking revelation weight wise - but I've decided to limit those musings to my Monday post....probably. ::snort:: Enough to say that I'm mixing up the routine again.

The younger ones and I went shopping for Arielle's birthday tomorrow. Wow. She is growing up so fast. We'll decorate tonight before we got to CAP.

A friend and her family stopped by today. That was a nice break.

I've been hearing the song below in my noggin lately. I drove in to the driveway today after working out and the song came on the radio. I sat and worshipped and cried. I can't find a video or playlist that I want to post.....but below are the lyrics.

How very, very true. HE never lets go. My soul does overflow when I think of His love for me. My love for Him. In joy and pain, in sun and rain - HE'S THE SAME! I love that about God.

I've found myself praying the lyrics on behalf of not only myself (and my struggles PALE) but on behalf of the Chapman family (who has had such joy engagement announcements, graduations and pain in one day/week) and the Rick Santorum Family (wife delivered a baby with T18) as well. May their faith grow strong. May He hold them close. May His peace and comfort surround them. May they draw close as families.

David Crowder Band - Never Let Go
From the album Remedy

When clouds veil sun
And disaster comes
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
When waters rise
And hope takes flight
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul

Chorus:
Ever faithful
Ever true
You I know
You never let go
You never let go
You never let go
You never let go

When clouds brought rain
And disaster came
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
When waters rose
And hope had flown
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul

Chorus:

Oh, my soul
Overflows
Oh, what love, oh, what love
Oh, my soul
Fills hope
Perfect love that never lets go

Oh, what love, oh, what love
Oh, what love, oh, what love
In joy and pain
In sun and rain
You're the same
Oh, You never let go

De'Etta, I just learned about the Santorum's new baby today at book club from my friend who worked on his re-election campaign. We were fortunate to meet Senator Santorum and his children at a homeschool day to Washington, D.C.

Both families remain in our prayers.

My heart goes out to him and his family, Michelle.

Hi De'Etta,
Thank you for the lyrics of that beautiful song. They ministered to me today. Also, PLEASE do tell us soon your weight loss revelation because I am in the same boat as you. I can NOT seem to budge the scales no matter what exercise program or calorie lowering I do. I turned 45 in March--I'm older than you I think. Please don't tell me this is to be accepted as part of growing older? Ugh!
Love you much,
Melanie in CA

Very sad day for the both families. I can't even imagine.

Great song choice. I am a big David Crowder fan. This song is on my I Pod so that when I exercise I can blare it and worship the Lord!!

I can't imagine what these families are dealing with right now.

I really like David Crowder Band. I have to hear the songs a few times before they grow on me, but then they grow quickly. Great messages.
