Strength

Words can not express how sweet I think this picture is! It is of my good friend, LeAnn, opening her gifts at her baby shower. My other two good friends, Becky and Lynn, are in the picture (to the left of her) watching and supporting her. I am so thankful for my friends!

After the shower, we hit the Sidewalk Sale downtown for a few hours, then picked up some yummy chicken salad from The Scoop for lunch! It started raining as I was driving home from Becky's and poured the rest of the night. Matt's Dad and Ellen came into town and we went to the house and then ate dinner at Beef O'Brady's. I spent the rest of the evening watching football with Matty. We opted out of the VSU game (SAD) since the weather was yucky.

Tony Nolan spoke at our church this morning and it was awesome!! After a fun-filled weekend though, I'm struggling. I don't want to prepare for another work week already!

Isaiah40:29
29 He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strength to the weak.

Sometimes the upcoming week overwhelms me so that I just have to get down on my knees and beg for strenth. I haven't been let down yet :)

I am a pandora addict at school. I listen to Kari Jobe radio every break I have and sometimes really lightly at naptime. They play a lot of Hillsong (which I love) and I never fail to hear this song at least 3 times a day. The opening lyric strikes a chord with me each time...it sort of knocks the breath right out of me.

"And now the weak, say I have strenth." There's just something about those simple words.



Since I've been trying to muster up some stength today...this song goes right along with powerful (another of my faves)! I can't stand when I can't find them singing it live! :)
