So much change has happened in the last few months. So much is happening as far as how different my life is since June, and how different the world is as well. There is so much to be stressed out about as far as planning menus, budgeting, learning how to be Josh's wife, and on top of that there is this crazy economy, this crazy election, the crazy hurricane that we are still not recovered from, people losing jobs, businesses not doing well. Its hard not to be overwhelmed by all these things. I can't focus on these things or I will stay in a state of constant worry. So this is the song that my soul has been singing the last few days. May it warm your heart and soul as it has mine as I really begin to realize that our hope should not be in this life, but in the life to come, yet even in this life the God who makes sure the grass, lillies, and birds have all they need, is watching out for me as well.

He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.
Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.

Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves.

So we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way

That he loves us,
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves

He loves us,
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves

The Weary World Rejoices

The candlelight flickers in my December-darkened living room. Jarred red pillar candles with warm light speckle my piano by number, along with the Christmas cards of cozy families that have begun to criss-cross my living room. Edmund's favourite Christmas album is playing, the one from Charlie Brown and his lovely Christmas special. There is a quiet ache filling this space, and my 8-year-old has said once again, "It doesn't feel like Christmas." And so it has begun. That ache really first began for me when my family of origin moved during fourth grade across the continent from Kelowna, BC (where we lived for a few short months with my grandparents and spent days filled with fun with cousins, and I slept in my auntie's old pink bedroom, sharing a bed with my oldest sister Christi) to a suburb of Detroit, Michigan. I remember that winter and Christmas feeling particularly cold and lonely, as I had spent the warm, bright summer months and early fall in what had alway...

Prayer Request

I have a prayer request. I've been having trouble with my heart for the last three months. The medication that I take every day hasn't been regulating my tachycardia problem well enough, and I have gone to the ER 3 times in the last 3 months. Twice they had to give me an IV of some medicine that stopped my heart and restarted it. Since then I found a cardiologist in Houston, who says I need to get a procedure done called an ablation. They go in through a vein with a wire and camera and sensors and travel to your heart and find out what area of your heart is causing the electrical glitch that causes the tachycardia episode. Then they zap that tissue that causes the problem. The procedure should totally cure the problem that I have been struggling with for 13 years. However, our insurance looks like they will only cover maybe 1500 of the 26000 cost, if any at all. Please pray that God would provide a way to pay for this procedure, as it isn't really an option to not have it ...
