I'm Right Where God Wants Me

What reason have I to doubt

Why would I dwell in fear

When all I have known is grace

My future in Christ is clear



My sins have been paid in full

There’s no condemnation here

I live in the good of this

My Father has brought me near

I’m leaving my fears behind me now



The old is gone, the new has come

What You complete is completely done

We’re heirs with Christ, the victory won

What You complete is completely done



I don’t know what lies ahead

What if I fail again

You are my confidence

You’ll keep me to the end

I’m leaving my fears behind me now

Titus 2... starting early :)

Great Book!!!

I bought a novel at Barnes & Nobel this past Sunday. What's weird (and very exciting) is that we actually know the author!!! Dan Walsh, author of The Unfinished Gift, is the Senior Pastor of the SGM church in Daytona Beach, FL. The book just came out. I started it yesterday and am already over halfway finished. For me, that's record time... just ask my family. :) Needless to say, I'm thoroughly enjoying and highly recommend Mr. Walsh's book. The sequel, The Homecoming, comes out in June of 2010. Can't wait!

My Sweet Little Monkey

Adoniram was born last week. I was able to hold him for about 20 minutes on Saturday evening. He's so precious and I love him dearly. I still can't decide who he reminds me of. He has dark hair and fairer skin. His little sneezes remind me of Boaz, but that really isn't much to go on. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Kelli looks great... of course. :)

My Week

So, I thought I give a little update as to what my week will look like. Tomorrow, Jess and I will run errands, getting ready for WorshipGod09. Tuesday, I'll work and feverishly get all my ducks in a row before I leave for a week. Tuesday night, Wendy and Cameron will come over for dinner and spend the night. Wednesday morning (0500), Jessica, Wendy, Jimmy, Justin, Cameron and I will start the drive up to Gaithersburg (hoping to miss the VA/DC traffic). Wed. night-Sat. morning, four days of attending WG09!!! My first worship conference... full of the gospel, learning to worship my great God and Savior better, aaaaaaand... lots of fun sound stuff! I'll even get to go on a tech tour of CLC. Saturday afternoon, still up the air... mayb just hanging out or DC. Sunday, early service at CLC and then off to DC for the rest of the day. Monday, crammed in the back seat with Jimmy and Cam... for 9 long hours. :) Lots of fun and craziness ahead. I'd love some prayers! I so want to grow closer to my God and learn to love and glorify Him better.
