Rock of Ages

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
Great is Your faithfulness
Great is Your love, O God
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
Great is Your faithfulness
Great is Your love, O God

CHORUS:
Rock of ages, You will stand
Our foundation 'til the end
Never failing, God unchanging
Rock of ages, You will stand

When darkness seems to hide Your face
I rest on Your unchanging grace
Great is Your faithfulness
Great is Your love, O God
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
Great is Your faithfulness
Great is Your love, O God

The Shack

You are the ones who embrace fear and pain and power and rights so readily in your relationships. But your choices are also not stronger than my purposes and I will use every choice you make for the ultimate good and the most loving outcome.

To the degree that those fears have a place in your life, you neither believe I am good nor know deep in your heart that I love you. You sing about it; you talk about it, but you don't know it.

Why do I let my fears control me? If I truly knew God, then I would truly trust Him. Oh LORD I pray that you wold teach me by your Word, and your Holy Spirit. It is my desire to know you and trust you so that we can be in relationship together. May I realize that your purposes are greater than any fears that I have.

Emmi is here!

Yesterday we drove a total of 11 hours to pick up our dear sweet puppy Emmi. She is EXTREMELY cute, and well behaved (so far). Abby (our cat) seems unsure of her new family member, and Emmi is just in dismay at why Abby doesn't want to play with her. Anyway, here are a few pics from yesterday I thought you might enjoy :-)

I have some news...

Dave and I are about to be parents. This is our sweet puppy Emmi... on Monday we are going to pick her up and bring her home. We are SO excited and can't wait!
