Psalms 143













When morning dawns and my flesh feels weak,
My heart becomes heavy, my failures start to speak -
Help me to hear Your loving voice
Calling me to make You my choice.

When filled with You, my spirit is light.
My heaviness flees, my days become bright.
Heal me from heartache. Deliver me from woe.
Help me Thy strength in my weakness to know.

Oh love of God, wash over my soul.
Take over my fear and my spirit control.
From sin I will run, from wrong I will flee,
'Til my heart again rests safely in Thee.

I've little doubt that you will be outwardly beautiful, but even a clown can dress up and wear makeup. I pray that you will have the favor of God on your life and that He will grant you favor with others, just as He did with ...

It wasn't too long after we found out we were expecting a girl that I started to look on Craigslist for furniture that would go well in a baby room. I try to keep from impulsive and expensive buys by asking myself these two questions: Is it a good deal and do I absolutely love the item(s). Asking myself these two questions helped secure a $60.00 wicker furniture set, a $90 crib that transitions from a crib - to a toddler bed - to a twin sized bed, we found a 9 piece crib set for $75 that was both elegant but cute. However, none of this felt like an accomplishment because the room was still a dark forest green and brown! Matt teasingly kept reminding me that he had picked out these colors and that he was offended I didn't want to use them for our little girl. He sweetly took me shopping for paint though. I had...
