How Many Kings?

How Many Kings by Downhere


Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe after all we’ve projected
A child in a manger
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl
Just a child
Is this who we’ve waited for?

Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Bringing our gifts for the newborn savior
All that we have whether costly or meek
Because we believe Gold for his honor and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he’ll suffer
Do you believe, is this who we’ve waited for?
(It’s who we’ve waited for)

How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me
All for me All for you
All for me All for you

tired of tired

I have to admit, I am so tired of being tired. I feel like when I am at home, all I do is sleep, and when I am not asleep, all I want to do is sleep.
URGH!
I have so much that should get done, that needs to get done.
I know I'm pregnant, and I've been sick (from the pregnancy and from having a cold that won't go away!) but yikes...I'm so ready to feel better and have a little bit more energy than I currently have.
Second trimester, come and relieve me, please!

Pregnancy Must Be Contagious! LOL!

Well, I have joined the many ladies I know as one who is pregnant.
It still feels so surreal, and if I didn't have an ultrasound and plently of morning (all day) sickness to prove it, I might be tempted to not believe it.
But, I am pregnant, and excited for another child. Excited, nervous... so many feelings at once.
And I have a cold, so between coughing and morning sickness, I am feeling pretty rough right now. But hopefully it will all pass soon and I can just enjoy being pregnant again.
I'm due at the end of next June, so please keep me, baby, Liam and Jon all in your prayers as you think of us.

Sad...

So, I had to borrow a computer from my inlaws just to access the internet and such because my computer gave up the ghost. Something about the motherboard blowing up video cards or some such annoyance.
So, Currently, I have no ability to put on new pictures, urgh.
BUT, I will find a way to put up some new pictures soon, as I have a few really fun ones.
Until then, ta-ta.

My Parents Have A Kitten!

New Glasses!

Me and Liam

A quote from an incredible story that I was fortunate enough to stumble across:

"I do not know why God has us ask when He knows what lies ahead. But this I know, I will ever more boldly ask the impossible of my Father. And, thereafter, surrender to His control of all things."

The blog tells the story of their son, Eliot, and the year that spanned both his birth and death (he had Trisomy 18 and only lived 99 days). It was incredibly heart wrenching, but beautiful too.
Kaiden was not far from my mind or heart as I read the blog Matt Mooney wrote about his own experience with the agony of losing a child.
I can not begin to understand what it must be like to go through such a thing, but these encounters with friends and strangers alike who have gone through it has opened my eyes a little bit, and my heart hurts for them. I know that God is big, but I wish that there was just a little bit less suffering here than there is....
Parents should never have to bury their children. Ever.

No More Crib

My little boy has made the transition from crib to toddler bed!
We are all liking this change quite a bit, especially mommy, as she no longer has to lift Liam into and out of the crib! So much nicer on her back!
