YOU REACH FOR ME

 And You reach for me
With a love that quiets all my fears
And You reach for me
Like a Father wipes away the tears

You know all of my fears
There's nothing Your eyes can't see
When I tried to give up,
Lord, you never gave up on me
I give You all of my hopes and dreams,
I lay them down
Of all the place I've looked,
You're the one truth I have found

 You hold the weight of the world,
Still I don't slip through Your hands
You put the stars in the sky
You know every grain of sand.


It's so easy to talk. To say the right things. To tell myself what I know I wanna hear. But is that what God is telling me? Am I listening to myself....or the Father up above who is longing to have it all for himself and use me? I'm not sure how hard my head is but it seems I need to relearn things too often. God has all things in control. He puts me through things to make me rely on Him. Why can't I rely on Him all the time? It would make life so much easier and half the "things" in life I would not have to experience. In these times I am growing the most. Thanks God for teaching me what I NEED to know most: Dependence on YOU all the time! Not just when my life seems to be falling apart but when "all is well with my soul."
The song above proves to me over and over again how God sees every little or big thing that is going on in my life. He cares about the stars and sand...how much more he is going to care about me!


On a lighter note...the weekend was a good one.  
Saturday was spent here...sleeping mostly!

Story time with Andre

You can tell it was exciting. lol....

Some games of tennis



...everyone needs time to focus on other things...



So here we are facing February....I would like to say BRING IT ON! Not sure if I really mean it though. Whether I mean it or not it is coming. With it comes two days off of school!

"...So bring me your heart
No matter how broken,
Just come as you are,
When your last prayer is spoken,
Just rest in my arms a while,
You'll feel the change my child,
When you come to the well

And all who thirst will thirst no more,
And all who search will find what their souls long for,
The world will try, but it can never fill,
So leave it all behind, and come to the well."

When I Grow Up

Image
My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll...

February

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp...

of police and goodbyes

It was the night before some people departed the states to the wonderful Isle of Spice. Who wouldn't stay out late? Well...I would..and I did. The regrets came in the morning with only 2 hours of sleep and off to work at an unearthly hour. I work when I can...even if it is only a few hours. I felt like I had to keep redoing things...my brain was malfunctioning. Coffee was needed but I didn't want to be the reason for potty breaks on the way to the airport...thus I refrained. I left work in my own little world oblivious to a police officer sitting nearby. I believe he was sleeping as well..much to my benefit. With suitcases packed on that Ford truck we began to "RUN IT"...traffic moves well most days. I try to keep with traffic. They can usually break radar for you. The SUV lost me when it got to about 25 over the speed limit. It was a good thing! There was enough of a gap between us that officer had his nose out in traffic as I tried to quickly change lanes. Sorry fo...
