Running Behind...

Hi friends...Thought I'd stop by for a quick update on what's going on around here!  Totally missed our Let's Talk Tuesday, but hoping that we'll be back on track with everything for next week.

I've been a little crazy with Senior stuff for my daughter, Brooke......we had a senior day trip to Splashtown on Friday, and I was the one in charge so I was a little stressed last week with last minute sign ups, wondering if we would have enough chaperones, etc!  But it turned out to be a great day!  Then on Sunday, we had Senior night at church.....very emotional and amazing evening.  Last night we had her last FFA banquet and tonight is Senior Awards night.  This is her last week of school....graduation is June 4th and her graduation party at our house is June 5th.  I'm going to crash soon.

Today I also took Logan to get his shots and registered him for Kindergarten.  He was such a big boy so daddy bought him a new fishing pole. :)  He handled it much better than I did.  I didn't get a prize.

My last bit of news to share for this post is the hardest.  My niece was pregnant with twin boys and delivered last night at 23 weeks.  Both boys, Ayden and Evan, are now in heaven.  My heart breaks for Shawnna and Aaron.  I don't know what to say or do, so I'm praying.  And crying, alot.  It's during these times that we want to question "Why?!" and get an answer.  But I know that we will never have one until we get to meet the boys in heaven.  And I know that somehow, someway, God will bring something good out of this.  Please pray for peace and comfort, and that out of brokenness will come healing and a closer walk with Jesus for everyone.  

I will be posting my thoughts and some discussion questions for Chapter 5 of our book study soon.  Until then, thank you for your patience :)

Remember to listen.  God is speaking.  I'm praying that through the noises and distractions that come with each day, you (and I) are able to quiet our spirits and hear what He is saying to us. 


Be Still and Know by Steven Curtis Chapman

Be still and know that He is God

Be still and know that He is holy
 Be still, O restless soul of mine
 Bow before the Prince of peace
 Let the noise and clamor cease
 Be still


Be still and know that He is God
 Be still and know that He is faithful
 Consider all that he has done
 Stand in awe and be amazed
 And know that He will never change
 Be still

Be still and know that he is God
 Be still and know he is our Father
 Come rest your head upon his breast
 Listen to the rhythm of his unfailing heart of love
 Beating for His little ones
 Calling each of us to come
 Be still
