24 Years Ago....

while watching the Tevin Campbell episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air, my grandma heard the call.  While I don't know how the episode ended, I know my grandma fell into the arms of her Savior and heard, "Well done, my good and faithful one.  Well done."

We love and miss you, Grandma.  See you in a little while.

Awesome

So I couldn't think of a new song, or rather couldn't decide on the new song the kids should learn during devotionals, so I fell back on an old favorite - - you choose the song.  Jory couldn't chose between "Don't Build Your House on the Sandy Land" and "Empty" by Tait. (My son knows a song by Tait.  I could cry, I'm so overcome with emotion.  Are there DC Talk covernbands?)  He went with "Sandy Land." 

When it was Rowan's turn, she said she wanted to sing "Awesome."  I looked at her puzzled.  She obviously wasn't talking about our God is an awesome God.  Then Layla started to sing, "My God is awesome/Keeps me in the valley/Hides me from the rain."  Oh yes, that song.  Gotta love Sirius Radio's Kirk Franklin's Praise Channel.


My God is awesome
He can move mountains
Keep me in the valley
Hide me from the rain
My God is awesome
Heals me when I'm broken
Strength where I've been weakened, 
Forever He will reign
(repeat)

My God is awesome
Awesome
Awesome
Awesome
(repeat)

My God is awesome
Savior of the whole world
Giver of salvation
By His stripes I am healed
My God is awesome
Today I am forgiven
His grace is why I'm living
Praise His holy name

My God is awesome
Awesome
Awesome
Awesome
(repeat)

He's Mighty

I love music.  And I love that God is putting songs on their hearts to sing, to worship Him.  They are learning verses  at AWANA and when I'm not looking learning songs on their own reminding them of how great He is, how awesome He is, how He can move mountains.  God is good.  All the time He is good.
