Tunes...

Sharing several songs that were helpful last year. When you start paying attention to God's signs, you'll notice they're all around!

King of the World- Natalie Grant
I was reminded often that God is King of the world. When I would feel like things looking hopeless, I'd hear this song and I'd think. "That's right! You're King of the world and you've got us in the palm of your hand! We will be ok."

 Eye of the Storm- Ryan Stevenson
This song played over and over on my daughter's iPod while she was running. She couldn't get it to turn off lol so she decided God wanted her to hear it. God is always there especially in the eye of the storm. 

 Stand By You- Rachel Platten
This song still gives me chills. We will be there. We will stand by her. "love if your wings are broken borrow mine til yours can open too." 

 Forever- Kari Job
So many days I felt Satan trying to mess things up. I still feel him lurking around. Get behind me Satan because "Our resurrected King has rendered you defeated." 

 Glorious Unfolding- Steven Curtis Chapman
This song has been a favorite of mine for several years. I believe there will be a glorious unfolding when this story is finished. 

 Hail Holy Queen- New Sisters Gospel Choir
I love songs about Mary the mother of Jesus. She said yes.. Love her!

Tell Your Heart to Beat Again- Danny Gokey
Probably the most poignant song for us. 

 You're shattered like you've never been before. The live you knew in a thousand pieces on the floor and words fall short in times like these. When this world drives you to your knees you think you're never going to get back to the you that used to be.

 Tell your heart to beat again. Close your eyes and breathe it in. Let the shadows fall away step into the light of grace. yesterday's a closing door you don't live there anymore say goodbye to where you've been and tel your heart to beat again. 

 Just let the world wash over you it's alright now Love's healing hands have pulled you through so get back up take step one leave the darkness, feel the sun cause your story's far from over and your journey's just begun....

 It would be a long long time before she'd feel the sun....

All The Things

 Here we are June 2023... How'd we get here so fast? Funny I should actually think that? Y'all we are going on 8 years. You know the saying, the days are long but the years are short. That absolutely applies here. There were days I didn't think would end. And, then I'd look up and another year passed. If you've read previous entries, you know I sort of write these with me looking back. I need to have Anna Leigh paint that picture. A lot sure has happened in 8 years. Refer to previous entries to learn all about it. Fast forward to now, to today, June 2023. Rick and I are legit empty nester people. Like what? I know! Crazy crazy!! It's good though. It's all good. Our children are all grown and living their lives. I keep reminding myself this is the goal. We made it to the finish line! Roots and Wings Tracy, you gave them roots and wings. Sometimes I catch myself thinking but do they know this or that? Did I teach them everything they need to know? Lord knows I...

Hot Damn! God's Beautiful Work Shining Once Again!

 Really didn't expect to be writing a post so soon, but here I am! I always said this journey is God led and that doesn't mean easy, it means, God makes it possible.   I have prayed and prayed and prayed over the years for Kenley's family to know her, to reclaim her and bring her close.I think one of the ridiculous stories her parents gave was we took her from them.. Umm no, we certainly did not take her. Anyway,  I reached out since the beginning and I never heard from anyone. Listen, I know they weren't being told the truth. I know what manipulation and lies were happening so it's all okay. Her mom's side was awful, went into protection mode for golden child and that was that. But, I knew dad's side was different. I just knew it. I knew they were good people. And, they are good people! I told Kenley early on, she was probably 16 and we were talking. I said you are all going to grow up. Your cousins won't be kids forever and they will find you. I said, ...

Our Journey Together Is Over....

Image
My husband uttered the words to her. "Our journey together is over." He said, "It's now time for you to go and start building your life. Our cozy nest is not helping you grow anymore." Thinking about those words, our journey together... They make me sort of gasp. If you've read this blog, you know, that I see myself sort of standing on a beach looking back at all the years. To this day, I still shake my head and think, did that really happen? And, I can honestly tell you when I say I felt like we were in the twilight zone, looking back, we were in the twilight zone. With that being said, we managed to live. We managed to continue to put one foot in front of the other and go to work, and church, and vacations, and track meets and art shows and we celebrated weddings and birthdays, graduations, scholarships & anniversaries. We laughed and loved. Only by God's grace was that possible for us. But our journey together in our home is over. We both rea...
