Rock-n-Word

Remember, I love music! All kinds of music (except nasty rap) and I must warn you this is a bit out of the norm of what I would usually post but today as I was driving to work (my volunteer position with my hubby at his office). I listened to this song a few times and this portion of the lyrics were screaming at me this morning:

In the dark

I can feel you in my sleep

In your arms I feel you breathe into me

Forever hold this heart that I will give to you

Forever I will live for you

It’s not always an easy thing to serve God when times get hard and you feel like you are drowning sometimes its tempting to give up but, when you make the decision and get determined to fix your focus on his power at work through you... you can’t help but surrender to Him because you start to remember that in reality it has very little to do with you anyways! So through the muck, I encourage you to Focus on him and you will realize that it is only through him that anything good can come out of your situation... as you focus and surrender you start to see all that he has for you (present and future), and that he alone will breathe life into your situation... He will fill with life, those places that feel dead....He sheds light on darkness when it seems like everything is pointless and He gives hope in where discouragement seems to have taken root and don't forget to open yourself up to receive His mercy and grace when anger tries to reside in your heart.

Apart from Him you are nothing.................................

Awake And Alive lyrics

V1

I’m at war with the world and they

Try to pull me into the dark

I struggle to find my faith

As I’m slippin’ from your arms

It’s getting harder to stay awake

And my strength is fading fast

You breathe into me at last

Chorus

I’m awake I’m alive

Now I know what I believe inside

Now it’s my time

I’ll do what I want ’cause this is my life

here, right now

I’ll stand my ground and never back down

I know what I believe inside

I’m awake and I’m alive

V2

I’m at war with the world cause I

Ain’t never gonna sell my soul

I’ve already made up my mind

No matter what I can’t be bought or sold

When my faith is getting weak

And I feel like giving in

You breathe into me again

Bridge

Waking up waking up

In the dark

I can feel you in my sleep

In your arms I feel you breathe into me

Forever hold this heart that I will give to you

Forever I will live for you

Have a wonderfully blessed day!

Our Happily Ever After......

I have not been able to bring myself to post a new blog bc of the sweetness of the previous blog that Scott wrote. But, after many tears, many questions, long conversations between me and scottie-my-hottie (not to mention the many long talks with God) I had a revelation (maybe I will share it someday but not feeling I should now) I'll shorten it by saying it hit me: "Life must go on"..... Faith is something that requires action/motion... I, we have got to keep pressing toward the holy calling on our lives.

Prior to the adoption Scott and I were scheduled to take 2 weeks together post-adoption with baby boy for family time and though things did not quit work out the way we had hoped we were still determined to take 2 weeks off as "a family". So we did! Scott and I spent a lot of time talking, crying, praying, reading, relaxing and helping each other through this ordeal.

And of course, in the healing process it is always good to squeeze in some fun so, we asked ourselves the question: "what is something we have always wanted to do together but we've not been able to yet?". One thing we both had in common was the desire to take a trip to go Deep Sea Fishing. So, we searched online, found a place on the coast, packed a bag, loaded the car and hit the road.

I've said it a million times before, and here is a million and one, "I adore my hubby, as long as I have him in my life I have everything I need to be happy. He is my family, he is my friend, he is my life, he is my home."

Here are some pics and videos from our trip. We had so much fun! My favorite memories are the ones of Scott and I traveling and experiencing life and our happily ever after!!

We went deep sea fishing!!

The boat took us 30 miles off the coast...

I love being on the open water... someday Scott and I

are going to have our own boat.

This was my first time deep sea fishing and

our first time going together.

We caught 4 Red Snapper!

No luck with the Kingfish or Shark

( i wanted to catch a shark, how awesome

would that have been for my first time)

Scott had the largest catch (snapper) on the boat for the day...

THE END.......................

Dinner anyone?? We're having Red Snapper!

It was so much fun.... I would definitely LOVE to go again

sometime once the weather is a little cooler.

I hope you take sometime today with your loved ones

to pursue your happily ever after...
