Strength

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

I find so much strength in music. My current favorite, sang by Selah..

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

  

waiting

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

waiting has never been my forte.

But thats what I'm doing. Waiting to hear from the neuro surgeon. Babysitting the phone. Mark has six days off, which is good since Bria is home for 2 weeks! Without him I'd be in trouble. I did some of her care this morning, it was a challenge. Not sure how the rest of this time is going to go but now I know what to tell the social worker!

In the mean time I'm getting pretty darn good at this wheelchair. I handle it like someone who knows that they're doing. haha. I can pop a good wheelie and i'm learning how to catwalk. So far I haven't tipped it over backwards... (note the so far!)

I'm a little frustrated a lot of the time. i'm a lot frustrated a little of the time. Sometimes I get angry over the tiniest of things. Sometimes I laugh over the strangest of things. I'm a little bit ... all over the map. But I guess thats to be expected all things considered.

so, this is about all the new news I have and most of it isn't new! The dog is pacing and driving me MENTAL. It's time to head into the kitchen where i can't see her pacing and can't hear her nails on the floor.

Later y'all...

“I Will Be Here” (Stephen Curtis Chapman)

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

This song has taken on new meaning to us.....

Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I...I will be here

If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I...I will be here

I will be here...
When you feel like bein' quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winnin' and losin' and tryin'
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here

Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I...I'll be here

Just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
I...I will be here

I will be here....
You can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you

And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true
To the promise I have made
To you and to the
One who gave you to me

I...I will be here

And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
'Cause I...
I will be here....
We'll be together

'Cause I will be here
