How He loves us....

Today as I sit here reading my Bible and preparing for the arrival of our little girl tomorrow, I am listening to this song. It overwhelmes me how much He loves us. How powerful, just, beautiful, gracious, and strong He is. How He can create something from nothing and bring life from death. The only response I am capable of is a bowing of my heart to His...

"He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane
I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy
When all of the sudden I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful you are
And how great your affections are for me
We are His portion and He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
And heaven meets earth like an unforseen kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way...
He loves us
Oh! how He loves us
Oh! how He loves us
Oh! How He loves"

Life Since Graduation - Hiking with Dan @ Hanging Rock!

We climbed 1.6miles worth of stairs carved in the mountain.....1 hour of torture climbing straight up to get to the top! The view was well worth the pain.
This is as close as I get to the edge!

Aren't we cute!


Just for fun.
