I Breathe....

I breathe in, I breathe out,

Full of hope and fighting the doubt.

A heart full of faith in God above,

Oh fill me now with Your Outrageous Love!

I breathe in, I breathe out

Touch my soul and carry me out

To a place of peace in Your arms I can rest

As I regain my strength to face the next step.

I breathe in, I breathe out

I lift my head ~ my eyes worn out.

Tears fell not in vain ~ You've carried them all

As I knelt before You, giving You my all.

I breathe in, I breathe out

My heart feels heavy and worn out.

The enemy calls and I hear the footsteps,

Of The One who will save me with not an ounce of regret.

I breathe in, I breathe out,

My faith so strong that there's no room for doubt.

That every trial, be it large or so small

You are faithful to always answer my call.

Ah my faithful family and friends! This is already a long road and we've just started. I think it's the additional "activity" in our house that makes the uncertainty of this all the more realistic (as if that makes sense). Megan came down with some virus that had her throwing up and running a fever over 103 for about 36 hours...and well...Kory woke up this morning with the same thing. We were supposed to leave in the morning to see my brother and his family in OKC...but I dare not take a sick kid and expose Darcy who is due in a few weeks or any of their kids to whatever this is. I jumped in the car today to run an errand...battery was dead. Earlier I was cleaning out the car and had the radio on and I guess that was enough to drain the battery. Daren couldn't find jumper cables so had to call over to the neighbors for help.

Ya'll have NO idea how important it is for me to see my brother, Darcy, and the kids! I haven't seen them since November and the thought of possibly missing this chance breaks my heart!! I need family during this uncertain time and being here in Tyler, I feel pretty isolated from all of them. So....if you happen upon this post...please, please pray that Kory is well tomorrow and that God's protection will be on Ashley and she won't get this as well. Keep me in your prayers too...just that my eyes will continue to focus on the Lord and that I won't get lost in circumstance.....Blessings to all!!

In His Grip!
