  • Quiet day today.  Kaylin's a bit miserable with a spring cold.   She crawled in bed with me this morning and took a two hour nap.   She was a bit happier this afternoon, but sounds awful.   Rainee was coughing tonight which I suppose means she'll get it too. 


    WE've survived several colds with her.   But I'm not afraid to admit my heart tightens everytime I hear her cough.   And its worse now.  Cause I KNOW I'm pregnant, so if x-rays etc are required she'll be forced to be without me.  I try not to think about it......and pray it won't happen.


    I bought a Rich Mullins CD yesterday and finally got time to play it.   I'm thoroughly enjoying it.   And this song is just so apropro to my life right now....to my choices.


    A friend blogged about choosing to love her husband.  I don't struggle with that....but its about the only thing I don't struggle with.   Daily I have to choose to get out of bed.   Daily I have to choose to take a baby step and not dwell on the things I used to be able to do.   Daily I have to choose to Praise God even when my body hurts, and theirs five kids demanding five different things.


    I choose to take a step holding on tightly to God.   And the song gave me the comfort and courage to take just one more step.....


    Rich Mullins Sometimes step by step


    Sometimes the night was beautiful
    Sometimes the sky was so far away
    Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
    You could touch it but your heart would break
    Sometimes the morning came too soon
    Sometimes the day could be so hot
    There was so much work left to do
    But so much You'd already done

    Oh God, You are my God
    And I will ever praise You
    Oh God, You are my God
    And I will ever praise You
    I will seek You in the morning
    And I will learn to walk in Your ways
    And step by step You'll lead me
    And I will follow You all of my days

    Sometimes I think of Abraham
    How one star he saw had been lit for me
    He was a stranger in this land
    And I am that, no less than he
    And on this road to righteousness
    Sometimes the climb can be so steep
    I may falter in my steps
    But never beyond Your reach

    Oh God, You are my God
    And I will ever praise You
    Oh God, You are my God
    And I will ever praise You
    I will seek You in the morning
    And I will learn to walk in Your ways
    And step by step You'll lead me
    And I will follow You all of my days

    And I will follow You all of my days
    And I will follow You all of my days
    And step by step You'll lead me
    And I will follow You all of my days
    And I will follow You all of my days
    (Sometimes the night was beautiful)
    And I will follow You all of my days
    (Sometimes the night . . .)
    (Sometimes the night was beautiful)
    And I will follow You all of my days
    (. . . Was beautiful)
    (Sometimes the night was beautiful)
    And I will follow You all of my days
    (So beautiful)
    And I will follow You all of my days
    And I will follow You all of my days
    (Oh God, you are my God)
    And I will follow You all of my days
    (Oh God, you are my God)
    And I will follow You all of my days
    And I will follow You all of my days
    (Sometimes the night was beautiful)
    And I will follow You all of my days
    (Sometimes the night . . .)
    And I will follow You all of my days
