Running back to your promises

One more time, Lord that's all I can hold on to. I've got to say this has taken me by surprise, but nothing surprises you. Before a heartache could ever touch my life, it has to go through your hands.
I know you're by my side. NO matter what, i'm going to love you, no matter what, I'm going to need you. I know that you can find a way to keep me from the pain, but if not, i'm going to love you no matter what.

I can't believe it's already February tomorrow!? Praise God and YIKES!  Life flies by and yet has the ability to move the pace of a snail, all at the same time. it's a magnificent thing, really.

Thank you Lord for your new Mercies each and every morning.  I love you My Lord, My God.

In this Life I Live, I will Follow You. I will Follow you.

Got to love it when your 4 year old gets that kind of song stuck in your head :)
