Here I Go Again
Hello,
We had a really good weekend being with my husband's family. The wedding was so moving. The young couple met thru a ministry for young adults. The wedding ceremony was very Christ-centered and it touched my heart very much. It was good to be with family - we don't get to see them very often. My Mother and Father in law are such sweet, loving, Christian people. I'm afraid their health is not good though and I hate that we can't be together more.
The one thing I do not enjoy on our overnight visits are the sleeping arrangements. My husband and I share his old room and the bed is only a double and it feels more like a twin. It is so tiny and cramped!! I always wake up with a backache!!
On a completely different topic - I just heard a song I love so much. It is by one of my favorite bands, Casting Crowns. It is called "Here I Go Again". Here are the words:
Father, hear my prayer
I need the perfect words
Words that he will hear
And know they're straight from You
I don't know what to say
I only know it hurts
To see my only friend slowly fade away
So maybe this time I'll speak the words of life
With Your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear is tearing at my words
What am I so afraid of?
Chorus:
'Cause here I go again
Talkin 'bout the rain
And mulling over things that won't live past today
And as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love Him
But here I go again, here I go again
Lord, You love him so, You gave Your only Son
If he will just believe; he will never die
But how then will he know what he has never heard
Lord he has never seen mirrored in my life
This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love him
This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love him
You love him, You love him
What Am I so afraid
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid of?
How then will he know
What he has never heard
I love that song - makes me think of my brother everytime I hear it. My heart aches for him to walk with the Lord and know the saving grace of Christ. But I also want everyone to know - not too much to ask, is it? Anyway - I just pray God gives me the words to say, words straight from Him.

Hey jojo!
Glad you had a good weekend - I was in PA for the wedding from Friday to Sunday, so now I'm back and ready to post away! Unfortunately, I actually have a lot of work to do this week, so it won't be as frequent (during the day) as usual! :)

Hi Clandi,
Yes, I thought about and prayed for you and your friend everytime I thought about you. I hope you had a good time and that she was able to enjoy herself. I especially thought about her while we were sitting in the church pews waiting for the wedding to begin. It kinda bothers my back to sit in the pews for a long time and it made me think of her and I prayed for her right then. I didn't know if your wedding was in a church or outside or what, but I figured between the drive, the wedding and sleeping in a strange bed, your friend might have struggled. I hope the prayers helped.
Yea, after being away there is always catch up. Look forward to hearing about your trip when you get time.

Nicole,
I don't know how you do it - three in a double bed?!! YUCK! Hopefully you like to snuggle when you sleep - I do not. I need my own space.
