God's Story in Our Family

Yesterday morning, we were honored to be part of the morning worship service at Fairhaven Church in Demopolis where I grew up.  They have such a sweet fellowship.  They loved on my family and blessed our hearts.

Many people think it is crazy that I can stand and sing to thousands, but to utter one word without music leaves me frozen!  But it is true.  I almost cancelled a couple of weeks ago due to my fear.  But then, I claim that God has not given me a spirit of fear!  I pray I can always have the courage to do what He ask and that my life and the life of my family will always bring Him glory!

If you would like a narative on our journey, you can go to fairhavenchurch.net (can't figure out why this is not making a link...sorry) Scroll to the bottom and under live streaming, click on the route (mobile device, lap top..) you wish to watch.  It is the entire service.  In the beginning, I believe as the preacher said, Satan's imps were doing their best to distract us with the sound messing up...God took care of that quickly and everything worked out.

There is a special song in the service.  It is Lyric's Song.  As you know that is the name we have given our daughter waiting for us in China.  My amazingly talented friend, Deana Wood wrote it for us.  I love it and barely can get through it.  It talks about a "better love, a fire fierce, and gentle dove." See that is what it is about.  Yes, a child is given a forever family.  Yes a child is shown the love of a momma and daddy.  Yes a child is complety taken care of, but more than all that.....a child is shown the love of God.  It is a better love than we can give.  It is a fierce fire, yet it is gentle as a dove.  I pray that my girls will know this Love.  I pray my girls will love Jesus.  I pray they have a relationship with Him.

I hope you enjoy God's Story in Our Lives.....so far!!!

God bless

Oh....at the end of the service we showed a slideshow set to Worth It by Francessca Battistelli.  We are working on getting it uploaded to the blog, but so far have been unsuccessful.  Hope to have it soon so you can experience that moment with us.
