Forgiveness....

True forgiveness doesn’t just benefit the wounder. It helps the wounded even more….

....so I totally "ghermed" David Hungate last night at rehearsal...

.....and HAD to get my picture made with him! "Toto IV" is one of my
all-time favorite albums!! Everybody sing, "Rosanna, Rosanna"....
LOVE IT!!!

Feeling a little better now!

The result of bad grades from Sam.... All the power cords to his video games. So sad.

It's Your Choice....

God whispers in your soul and speaks to your mind.
Sometimes when you don't have time to listen,
He has to throw a brick at you.
It's your choice: Listen to the whisper, or wait for the brick.

Mike and I just went through an extremely hard week, but after looking at little Turner Lee's pictures, and reading his story, I realize that what WE have endured is NOTHING compared to the week that Turner's family is going through. When I read of the faith that his parents have... unshakable faith that God's hand is in everything, I feel like the biggest failure, because I've been questioning God all week... 'Why God?? Why won't you help our family in this crisis??".... But after reading Turner's story, I realize that OUR crisis is NOTHING compared to what so many other's are going through. I feel like a spoiled, little baby for whining to God about my problems...... and not just trusting that He IS here with us, carrying us through our worries and taking us to a better place.

I don’t personally know Turner or his family, but a friend from church knows them and sent me the above link to his family blog. I can’t thank them enough for taking the time to document their strong faith during Turner’s brave battle. It helps people like me remember how blessed I am and gives me much needed perspective.

I will be praying for Turner and his family this weekend… as I also humbly express my gratefulness for my children’s health. My husband’s devotion. My parent’s love. A job I love, food on the table, supportive friends and family. A cool, refreshing breeze blowing through the open windows of my home. A changed heart.

I stand in amazement of a God who never fails us. Never.

Ya’ll have a GREAT weekend!!

Love you…. Marcia

"Acid Mosh" or "The Beatles"?? It's hard to tell.....
