I Will Carry You

Remembering our first baby who went to heaven on November 11, 2005. The words of this song mean so much to me. While my arms still ache to hold that baby, I know that we will meet face to face one day. Until then, I will carry you...

"I Will Carry You" by Selah

There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?
People say that I am brave but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
But there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this

So I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One who's chosen me
To carry you

Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says

I've shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?

I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All your life
And I will praise the One who's chosen me
To carry you

We're Moving!

So a week from today is the BIG day! We are moving to North Carolina!! This will be the 4th move for Trey and I in 8 years. God has placed us in each church that we have served at, for a time and a purpose. About 4 months ago we felt that God was opening doors for us to return to youth ministry. We are both so passionate about working with teenagers and investing in their lives.

God's timing is always perfect. We feel very blessed that He opened doors so quickly for Providence Baptist Church in Harrisburg, North Carolina! Every step of this journey has just felt RIGHT. We couldn't be more excited to make this move and step out on faith (moving 10 hours from our families).

I will try to keep this family blog updated so that our friends and family can see what's going on in our lives. Please be in prayer for us as we begin this new journey!

November

Let's see if I can remember what we did in November...pretty much the normal routine for us. My cousin Lauren got married the beginning of the month and Callie got to be one of her flower girls. This was her first time to do that and we were a little worried how she would do. She did great! It was fun to visit with all the family! We did get to go to Robinson for Thanksgiving, which was fun to have all the cousins together. We put up Christmas decorations. Really, I feel like November always FLYS BY. So here are some pics from the month.

October In a Nutshell

We went to Pumpkin Works, carved pumpkins, had our church Fall Festival, and went trick or treating. This was Ashtyn's first year to go trick or treating, and she thouroughly enjoyed the experience! Callie chose to be Tinkerbell this year, while Ashtyn was a ballerina.

Catching Up

I realized that I haven't updated our family blog in a few months! I will spend the next couple blog posts catching up on what we've been up to. Check back soon!
