"Blessings"

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know the pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It's not our home

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise

Thanks Hannah for putting me onto this song...I love it, and Laura Story sings it so well too!

Abby's Graduation!

 My cousin Abby graduated from high school last Friday. It was so much fun seeing her family and hanging out with the cousins. The party after the graduation was beautiful and so Abby! See the zebra cake at the back of the table? She designed it herself.

On the left of the table are some Starbucks cake pops...I never did get one, but I heard they were totally awesome!

Her parents gave her an Apple Ipad...it was so fun to play with. (I so totally want one now lol.)

 Abby was trying to protect Mia from Uncle Jamie...I love his expression:) 

 My Aunt Michelle and sister Krista.

 Mia started dancing and singing in the backyard so I decided to grab a pic of her...she is so cute!

Congratulations Abby!

You are a beautiful, Godly young lady and I'm so blessed to have you for a cousin!

Mia!

 This is my cuter then ever friend Mia! She is my Uncle's brother's daughter...are you confused? Well, our family went to Tulsa Oklahoma for my cousin's graduation and while we were there, this little beauty posed some cute poses for me.

 

What do you think of her? Isn't she adorable?

I'll post some pics of the graduation later on in the week.

Lemon Face!

So, Jake and Amyann thought that Kylie was old enough to taste her first lemon;) It was so fun to watch her expressions change. At first, she just licked her lips and made a perplexed face, but then Jake gave her a larger amount and she puckered up really good for the picture. It was so fun and she really loved it!

Kylie!

 Well hello all! It's been awhile since I've posted something but better late then never right...okay...that was old:) just saying. Lol

Well, I took some adorable pictures of my adorable niece today and thought I'd share. She is the most beautiful baby in the world and I love her to death.( not literally) I'm hoping to put together a cute collage of these for her mom and dad on their first anniversary.

 She was so cute with her huge flower headband!

 Isn't that just the most adorable face you have ever seen?

 This one and the next one are my favorites!
