Baby




I've been doing a bad job of posting pictures that I've taken recently that aren't snapshots. I've been doing a bad job of taking pictures that aren't snapshots. But these are some that I took the other day of a 6 week old that Molli was babysitting. Ignore the fact that he is flipping off the camera in the first picture...he knows not what he does. :)

Music

I bought Brandon Heath's new cd What If We this weekend and there are two songs that I really enjoy. The first is "Give Me Your Eyes." The chorus is:

Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond me reach
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see

I really like this song because it should be my prayer every day. I feel like I don't often look at people through God's eyes, I look through my eyes. And my eyes are tainted by sin and this world. I need God's eyes so that I can see each person as God's masterpiece. PT preached about that yesterday. How we need to view ourselves as well as others as people made special by God. If we have God's eyes, we will treat those around us better than if we are looking through our own eyes.

The other song is called "Wait and See." The chorus is:

There is hope for me yet
Because God won't forget
All the plans He's made for me
I have to wait and see
He's not finished with me yet

These words give me comfort because I know that they are true. I know that God has made a plan for my life and that He will do great things with me. They may not be great things in the world's opinion, but they will be great things in God's opinion and that is all that matters.

Thank you Brandon Heath for these wonderful songs!
