Oh what a glorious day that will be

Please come Jesus, let all the suffering end. My heart you know. My patience always lacks. I can only truly love you, I find splitting my splitting my heart for others hard. So please grant me the patience, for I know you plan is not my own. You will come on your own time, not mine.

I'm worn

"Worn"

I’m Tired I’m worn
My heart is heavy
From the work it takes
To keep on breathing
I’ve made mistakes
I’ve let my hope fail
My soul feels crushed
By the weight of this world

And I know that you can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart
That’s frail and torn
I wanna know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that’s dead inside can be reborn
Cause I’m worn

I know I need to lift my eyes up
But I'm too weak
Life just won’t let up
And I know that you can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart
That’s frail and torn
I wanna know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that’s dead inside can be reborn
Cause I’m worn

My prayers are wearing thin
Yeah, I’m worn
Even before the day begins
Yeah, I’m worn
I’ve lost my will to fight
I’m worn
So, heaven come and flood my eyes

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart
That’s frail and torn
I wanna know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that’s dead inside can be reborn
Cause all that’s dead inside will be reborn

Though I’m worn
Yeah I’m worn

Peace

My heart longs for peace.

 A peace that calms and make me whole.

 This peace I see long in my future.

 Day by day I will long and reach for it. 

Patience a virtue that I need to find within. 

0704 - 20 years

Our story did not start July 31, 1999. It started years before on 4th of July at a tiny rural school watching neighborhood fireworks. Our love lit that night while watching sparks fly into the air, with a kiss I will never forget, burned deep into my memory.
Our love has not always been fireworks, but God has seen us through. His love for our marriage has never faltered and he has carried us through the depths. As we have now put God in the middle, He will strengthen us, and never let us part.
Forever isn't long enough!

Emma's new glasses

When I put her glasses on she looked around and starting pointing things out. I had no idea how near sighted she was! Her prescription is very strong.
