"Suddenly"

I was listening to a new cd yesterday that I received from a friend and I read these lyrics...
"It's one place there's never been a foreigner/'Cause God's love makes everybody
welcome there/Sometimes there's nothing left but to believe/ Sometimes in an instant/Sometimes we wait for years/But it comes down to the moment faith eclipses fear/Your wandering is over/The other side is real/You've broken through/
Your mountain moved/And mercy is revealed/His mercy is revealed"

For some reason these words among many others that I love on this cd burned into my brain when I first read them and made me think. Sometimes there is nothing left but to believe, we try to do things ourselves and be in control and it just DOES NOT work. My fear gets the best of me, I have faith, but to actually have that moment when it does just come down to believing, to having my faith eclipse my fear, WOW, that is powerful, because then and only then can my Mountain be moved by my Merciful God!!

And if you were wondering who wrote these deep lyrics that have made me come to tears every time I've heard them, well, it's none other than Mr. TobyMac. (And who ever said rockin'rap music couldn't glorify God...NOT ME!!)

Micah's Song

Since the only progress that has happened on our house since the last time I posted, has been the pouring of our footers, which are not that exciting to see(really they aren't just some concrete down in the ground), and since we took this video a few weeks ago and the girls and I still laugh every time we see it, and since my friend Michelle really hasn't posted anything exciting lately (sorry Michelle) and this is her sweet son, and since we have the copyright to this great video, since yours truly taped it, I thought I would share it with all of you... because we love this little guy!! So here it is "I Believe I Can Fly," Micah style.

*Edit note, my friend Michelle posted something great yesterday that I had failed to read before posting this, so please go over and visit, you will be blessed by her commitment to love her Lord!

Puppy Heaven!

Please welcome the newest member of the Gourley family...Bosley! We picked him up last Friday and we have been adjusting to our new schedule ever since. Feed, potty, play time, nap, feed, potty, play time, nap. His schedule resembles that of a newborn baby, I have even been getting up with him at night, it's been awhile since we have had this kind of schedule in our home and we are all adjusting. The first night was really hard, but last night he slept for over 5 hours at one time!! We were very excited this morning to get a good night of sleep, or at least I did since Dean got up with him!
F.Y.I. More house updates should be coming soon!
