Puzzles

Deuteronomy 29:29 says "The Lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions."

This is such a great reminder! God sees the bigger picture of our lives, we don't. A good friend of mine uses the example of a puzzle. We get puzzle pieces through out life and sometimes we can't make sense of them but that's because only God sees the ultimate picture.

So don't worry so much about the bigger picture. Just handle one puzzle piece at a time. Obey Him and be patient - God will show you His beautiful puzzle top in HIS TIMING =]

Its been too long

I was driving to church yesterday and I heard this song. The lyrics touched me so much that I just had to share them somewhere then I remembered I had a blog in which I have severely neglected. So here we go =] If you get a chance find it and listen to it or at least just read the bold lyrics. One can never be reminded too much how great God love for us is.

Always be my baby
Sara Evans

There I was ten years old
Waiting in my room for him to come home
I just knew he'd be so mad
Though I begged my mother not to, she told my dad
There was no denying I‘d let him down
But instead of being angry
He put his arms around me and said

In the sunlight or the rain
Brightest nights or darkest days I'll always feel the same way
Whatever road you may be on know you're never too far gone
My love is there wherever you may be
Just remember that you'll always be my baby

There I was, twenty one
Oh, I was so ashamed
Of what I’d done
On a country road
Parked one night
What started out so innocent, crossed the line
There was no denying, I’d let God down
But instead of being angry
He let His love surround me
And I heard

In the sunlight or the rain
Brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way
Whatever road you may be on
Know you’re never too far gone
My love is there, wherever you may be
Just remember that you'll always be my baby

Yeah yeah yeah

There he is, my little man
I’m sure he'll get in trouble every now and then
And I pray to God that when he does
I’ll be just as understanding, as my father was
'Cause the last thing that I wanna do
Is let him down
So instead of being angry I’m gonna
throw my arms around him and I’ll say

In the sunlight or the rain
Brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way
Whatever road you may be on
Know your never to far gone
My love is there, wherever you may be
Just remember that you'll always be my baby

Be my baby
