Just Be Held.

Well I missed my update yesterday so here's today's! We received a phone call Friday night from Tennessee. Both Hands has accepted our application. I'll be printing off the manual tomorrow and we'll be phone conferencing with the Executive Director later this week. We're excited at the aspect of helping out a local family in need. I pray the finances come in so we are able to bless her with comfort and rest her mind. Again, so very excited!!

This happened this morning in church: 

Church this morning was my life. It was about struggling, trials, stress, persecution and letting go. Trusting God and seeing the future. I try my best to do this and am most of the time successful but it's not easy. I try my best to hide my trials and stress from my children. As far as I know I've been pretty successful at it. The song below was our closing song. Lydia sat in church with us this morning instead of going to her class. Three lyrics (phrases) in I felt this body climb on to my lap, wrap her arms around me, tuck her head up against mine and she sang on key from memory the entire song into my ear. The way she positioned herself my face was buried in her neck and hair and I had no choice- I finally let go of some of those raw emotions holding me back. The tears started rolling down my face and a few sobs escaped my breath. She'd pull away study my face for second then tucked her head back in. She didn't stop singing and never once let go of her hold. When the song was over she pulled back turned around back to her seat as if nothing had happened. If only she knew her impact. I pray for your peace this week as we enter a new day.
