Tuesday Fun!

Yesterday was a great day...work was good, the weather was drizzly and very "fall"...my hairdresser did a GREAT job on my cut and color...and the "Granduggar" special was all I had hoped it would be :) Mackynzie Renee Duggar is super cute and her mom is a champ: at-home birth with no medication or even a doctor present (the doctor was out of town and Anna went into labor a little sooner than expected...hello, having a baby at home!)! One tough girl, in my books! She and Josh Duggar's relationship challenges me so much for my future marriage. I am starting to pray now for whoever God is preparing for me...I don't know who it will be (maybe Shane, maybe not-SO totally have NO desire to be married for at least 3 years!) but they have to love the Lord as much as I do. Thank you, Josh and Anna, for challenging me!

On another note: I was driving to work last week and two days in a row, I heard the same song...it is called "Untitled Hymn" by Chris Rice. I love this song so much. It totally speaks to my heart...it has been around for awhile, but I had not heard it in a long time. I think it is no coincidence that I heard it two mornings in a row :) God is so good and sometimes we need to be reminded that he is there for every single thing in our life that we need him for...times of trial, times of sadness, times of happiness...here are the lyrics. Every time I hear this song, I end up singing and bawling my eyes out...I love my God!!!

Weak and wounded sinner Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!
Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!
And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!
Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!
O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!
And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
If that song does not move you to worship your Heavenly Father...then something may be wrong. :) I so feel like I am in the place of the song where it says "When the love spills over, and music fills the night, and when you can't contain your joy inside then dance for Jesus". There are just those times when you feel the Lord is doing a work in your life, you may not even know the reason, but he is at work! Well, he is up to something in my heart and all I want to do is share it! So, my blogs will probably have some snippet of what He is doing in my life right now. I hope everyone who reads can get something from it. If any of you need anything...prayer, someone to talk to...please don't hesitate! I would love to know how I can pray for people individually.

Anyhooooo...I hope everyone has a terrific fall afternoon!!
