Finally Saying "Thank You!"

Well here goes a new blogspot that has been hard for me to do until now. I was painting for many hours today pretty much by myself in the garage. I was listening to the Christian radio and heard a song from one of my favorite singer/song-writers, Sara Groves. If you don't know about her go immediately and buy every one of her cds or in 2006 buy it off the computer!!! One of the reasons why I don't want to blog is because I am not good with words!!! But I want you to read the lyrics of this song and let you see and know that God is faithful!!!! Despite the sadness of leaving all of you in Texas and really grieving it for awhile, I feel truly feel God has been the lifter of my head." (Psalm 3:3) Thank you Andrea for the CD you compiled for me to drive here. Andrea is a huge Sara Groves fan too. I am going to share the lyrics and then post pictures from all the going away parties you all blessed us with. I really want to say thanks now that I can without weeping and gnashing of teeth.

"Less Like Scars" By Sara Groves

It's been a hard year
But I'm climbing out of the rubble.
These lessons are hard
Healing changes are subtle
But every day it's...

Less like tearing, more like building
Less like captive, more like willing
Less like breakdown, more like surrender
Less like haunting, more like remember

And I feel you here
And you're picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation
But you are able
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars and more like Character

Less like a prison, more like my room
It's less like a casket, more like a womb
Less like dying, more like transcending
Less like fear, less like an ending

And I feel you here
And you're picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation
But you are able
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars

Just a little while ago
I couldn't feel the power or the hope
I couldn't cope, I couldn't feel a thing
Just a little while back
I was desperate, broken, laid out, hoping
You would come

And I need you
And I want you here
And I feel you
And I know you're here

And you're picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands, a bad, bad situation
But you are able
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars
And more like Character
