Crazy... I've been listening to and loving that same song the last week or so!
Also, know that I'm here if you need to talk :) I know it can seem easier to pretend things are not happening if you just don't talk about them - but you also miss out on the strength and comfort that could be offered in your time of need. The day before Erin and I came up to see you I delivered a baby at home that had died several weeks earlier and thought it would just be easier not to talk about it. As crazy as that sounds, I just wanted an escape from what had been going on and ended up missing out on the love and support of friends. Our losses may not be the same, but I do feel your pain. I'll be praying for you.
Prayers are being said often for you. I wake up in the middle of night and say a prayer, during the day while I'm learning a poem with Joshua my mind wonders and I say a prayer or while making supper a silent prayer is being said. God brings you to my mind so often.
I love that song you posted. I thought of the hymn that I learned as a kid which you might remember that was Lead Me, Guide Me. I will say this as a prayer for you.
"I am weak and I need Thy strength and power to help me over my weakest hour. Let me through the darkness Thy face to see, Lead me, oh Lord lead me.
Chorus: Lead me, guide me along the way, For if you lead me I cannot stray. Lord let me walk each day with Thee. Lead me, oh Lord lead me.
I am a MOM, Graphic Designer and Photographer who loves to work with pictures and TAKE pictures. Mostly I blog about the special people in my life with some other randomness thrown in the mix. This blog is mainly for me so I can print it out into books. Hope you enjoy my journey along the way, if you don't enjoy it then no one is making you read my blog.
Drew
Drew is a fun-loving 7 year old. He was adopted at birth and he has been a TRUE Blessing in my life. He loves movies, ninja's, sports, games, WWE, guns, camo, the Chicago Bears and currently his favorite colors are Blue and Orange. He's got big brown eyes, longest eyelashes you've ever seen and the best hair ever. Lucky him he got none of that from me. Each age with him has been my favorite. He is a negotiator and HE NEVER STOPS TALKING or pushing his limits. He is growing up way to fast and is the smartest 7 year old I know... (ok I'm a little biased) but I Love him to pieces and do not know what I would do without him.
Brian
Brian is my HUSBAND. (say whaat!) I met him through mutual acquaintances (ahem) and its a super long story that if you search my blog I'm sure you will find. ;) I was not planning or expecting him to come along. He's great and I am 100% myself around him and he makes me SMILE.
Parker
Parker is Brian's son and he is a sweetheart just like his daddy. Its hard not to fall in love with those big blue eyes. He is 6 (only 6 months younger than Drew) He loves to read, hang out with his brother and is totally into skylanders. He is smart, funny, shy, and wears his heart on his sleeve....if you get him talking he won't stop and he will tell you things over and over again. I wouldn't have it any other way. His special talent is he can reach his tongue to his nose and you will see it there a lot. He also points with his middle finger so if you see him he is NOT giving you the bird. :) When you get him laughing he is a complete giggle box and its the best sound in the world.
Carter (CJ)
Carter will always have a place in my heart. He was adopted at birth (October 17, 2010) and was with me for 3+ months before the birth family changed their mind. I had no choice but to give him back in 2011, but a piece of my heart will forever be missing. He was a part of my family and I am not going to pretend that he didn't exist, because he did exist very much. I miss him and think about him every single day.
