Wait and see

Heard this song by Brandon Heath and prayed for you

"Wait And See" 

I was born in Tennessee, late July humidity doctors said I was lucky to be alive
I’ve Been troubled since the day that I got here, troubled to the day I disappear
That’ll be the day that I finally get it right

There is hope, for me yet, because God won’t forget, all the plans he’s made for me
I have to wait and see, he’s not finished with me yet, he’s not finished with me yet

I never really was that good in school. Talked to much, broke the rules
My teachers thought I was a hopeless fool all right.
I don’t know how but I made it through, it’s one of those things you gotta do
I always had a knack for telling the truth.

There is hope, for me yet, because God won’t forget, all the plans he’s made for me
I have to wait and see, he’s not finished with me yet, he’s not finished with me yet

Still wonerin’ why I’m here. Still wrestling with my fear
But oh….He’s up to something,
And the farther out I go, I’ve seen enough to know that I’m not here for nothin’
He’s up to somethin’

So here’s my time to be a man, follow my heart as far as I can
No tellin’ where I’m ending up tonight
I never slow down or so it seems, but singing my heart is one of my dreams
All I gotta do is hold on tight.

There is hope, for me yet, because God won’t forget, all the plans he’s made for me
I have to wait and see, he’s not finished with me yet, he’s not finished with me yet
He’s not finished with me yet, He’s not finished with me yet.

You are my sweetie mom

Josh- in sweetest voice "mom I love you. I want to watch a movie with you. You are my sweety"

Mom- "Josh, why you reckon that you can be so mad at times with your mama and yet absolutely go crazy to spend time with your old mom?"

Josh- "cuz I always forgive mama

There are moments when you melt as a mama. I think this was one of those for me. Too sweet!!! 

Stand still (God has a plan)

Just want to remind you that through all the storms, GOD IS STILL GOOD!! ;) He is holding us in the palm of His hands.

The Father has a plan. Though it's hard to see it now 
You f eel you're walking all alone. But He is there no doubt 
When the storm around you rages, And you're tossed to and fro 
When you're f aced with life's decisions, Not sure which way to go 

Stand still and let God move, 
Standing still is hard to do 
When you f eel you have reached the end, 
He'll make a way for you 
Stand still and let God move 

When the enemy surrounds you, And the walls are closing in 
When the tide is swiftly rising, And you wonder where He's been 
Friend, there never was a moment, That His arms weren't reaching out 
You can rest assured and be secure, God is moving right now 

When you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a way for you 
Stand still and let God move 
The answer will come, But only in His time 

Stand still and let God move, Stand still and let God move

Painting together

Tonight, we decided to go do some painting in the front yard. It's been an extremely hard weekend this weekend having a few blowups and meltdowns While you were at friend's houses. It's tough to process all of the emotions that are coming at us at one time. So, we decided we would take up painting. Even in the midst of painting, we got a little angry. I hate it when we do that, But one thing the Lord has told me over this weekend is "there are no I love you but..."s  in the kingdom of God. He loves us when we are at our most broken place. And in the midst of our broken place, that is when Jesus died on the cross for our sin. I thank God for the blood of Jesus and I am proud of you for the way you are handling all of the pain. It's not easy being a prophet in training. There are many people who say they would not wish this on their worst enemy. But call calls us valuable Joshua. Don't ever give up!! I love you and I'm proud to be your mom no matter how frustrated we may get at times. I have attached your beautiful picture.
