My Heart's Cry

Tonight I am blogging.  Not because I want to be read or followed, but because I want to cry out to the Lord.  Isn't it funny--I am choosing a computer and the internet as my closet in which to pray?  I have tried for days to pray, and all my heart will do is cry.

It seems, Lord, that I am an Israelite.  I turn my heart toward you, and then I turn it away.  Forgive me, sweet Jesus.  Forgive me and strengthen my desire to be one with you in all things.

Father God, I am so thankful today for your Spirit that intercedes--that prays both with me and for me.  I am thankful God that you are faithful.  I am thankful that you are merciful.  I am thankful that you forgive, and I am thankful that you love with abandon.

Just a few more.................

Here are some more pics.

James-Ryan will be graduating from pre-school soon--three weeks to be exact, and that stirs up a plethora of emotions that I will talk about sometime, or maybe not.  In the meantime, they have asked for pictures for a slideshow.  When we moved we lost two years of our family's story in pictures, but here are a few of my favorites that I have been able to find.  This little fighter has come such a long way, and so many of you are such a big part of his story.  We can never tell you how grateful we are for your love for Ry and for our family.  We only ask that God watch over you, and bless you as you have blessed us.
