maybe i don't have the strength,
maybe i don't have the faith.
you brought me here in 40 years.
when i know this trip should take a week
i've shed my tears and shed my blood
been ransomed by the flood
and winter steals my songs away
in all of this i've come undone...

when you walk through the water
i will be with you
when you pass through the river
the waves they will not overtake you
when you walk on the fire those
flames they will not touch you.
You are Mine.

lyrics i like. *You Are Mine chair & microphone volume 3*

I really admire parents who are passionate about this future that will be
shaped by these tiny thoughtful hands-the hands to bring:
justice, love, mercy, grace, peace hope, and future to those void of all good. these hands iwll bring back joy, water, laughter, shelter, bread, gratefulness, thankfulness...truth. I'm so excited
for these kids because they are so full of life, so full of beauty, so full. of your goodness.

& thank you for what you're already doing in life and in the world.

thank you Lord.
