more encouragement.

A big blessing has been encouraging words that have come from the lips of our kids. To share just a couple, today Evian sent me this text: The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Deut. 31:7-9 Abby shared this Amy Grant song that she listened to during a run thinking about Mike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOHJghBU0XA&feature=related God loves a lullaby In a mother's tears in the dead of night - Better than a Hallelujah . Sometimes God loves the drunkard's cry, The soldier's plea not to let him die -Better than a Hallelujah. Sometimes we pour out our miseries, God just hears a melody - Beautiful, the mess we are. The honest cries of breaking hearts Are better than a Hallelujah. The woman holding on for life,The dying man giving up the fight Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes. The tears of shame for what's been done, The silence when the words won't come - Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes. We pour out our miseries, God just hears a melody - Beautiful, the mess we are. The honest cries of breaking hearts Are better than a Hallelujah... Better than a church bell ringing... Better than a choir singing out, singing out... We pour out our miseries, God just hears a melody - Beautiful, the mess we are. The honest cries of breaking hearts Are better than a Hallelujah... We pour out our miseries, God just hears a melody -Beautiful, the mess we are. The honest cries of breaking hearts Are better than a Hallelujah...(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)Better than a Hallelujah(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
