He LOVES me...

Did you ever just have a moment, when God does something so personal, just for you? Something you never would have asked for, nor expected? Something completely unnecessary but totally awesome? Something that just about brings you to your knees with the knowledge of how very much He loves you and cares about every. little. thing. in your life...

First night of Kingdom Bound...4 days of Christian concerts as well as the crazy rollercoasters and other rides at Darien Lake. First up...For King and Country.

We had settled into seats pretty far back and on the outside edge so that Brian could sit in his wheelchair and we could all sit together. There was handicapped seating available, but only for the person in the wheelchair and one person with them. That was okay, and we were happy to sit together where we were.

Then a staff/security volunteer came and talked with Brian for a minute...and asked us if we wanted to move to some empty VIP seats. All of us, in the THIRD row! I about started balling. We moved up, My mom, Hannah, and I jumped up and down and screamed our lungs out. Levi had a sweatshirt turban tied around his head and ears, and played Minecraft when he needed to "check out". Esther...fell asleep. Yes, in the third row. And Brian and Noah spent the whole time grinning from ear to ear. Simply amazing...

Some snippets from songs of theirs...in case you don't know them well...

"I've got a busted heart...hold on to me."
"You carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokenness all on Your shoulders...my help comes from You."
"Fix my eyes on You..."
"It's not over yet."

Thank you, God. You give me more than I could ever ask for and certainly more than my feeble heart so often lacking in faith deserves. Thank you for hope and that YOUR plans for us are only for good. Thank you for loving me.

Music of 2013 and 2014

The song that most represented 2013...

Carried by Your constant grace,
Held within Your perfect peace.
Never once did we ever walk alone.

~Matt Redman "Never Once"

The song that has chosen me, going forward into 2014...

"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)"
Lyrics from http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/hillsongunited/oceanswherefeetmayfail.html

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
[x6]

I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
