"Blessed Be Your Name"

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

"Shout To The Lord"

My Jesus, my savior,
Lord, there is none like You;
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love.

My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength;
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You.

Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing;
Power and majesty, praise to the King;
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands;
Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand;
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

My Jesus, my savior,

Let every breath, all that I am,
Never cease to worship You.

Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing;
Power and majesty, praise to the King;
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands;
Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand;
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing;

Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand;
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

Tulsa Run

My life really isn't all that exciting...I'm not even sure why I have a blog. haha! So here's just a little update for you on what I'm up to.

This week the hubs and I have started training for the Tulsa Run, which will be on October 31st. We are both very, very new to something like this and have never done anything like it in our lives. We will certainly not be doing the entire 15k, but we plan on running the 5k. We're really excited about it and have enjoyed getting ready for it together so far. And even more fun, a bunch of people we know have joined in and our planning on doing it too now! This is something that we want to keep up and participate in every year. I can't wait till October now!

Sunday Song

"Blessed Assurance"

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels, descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blessed,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to the best Mom that I have ever known!

Mom - I just want you to know that I am so blessed to have you as my mother. You have raised (in my opinion) three wonderful and beautiful children and we are all blessed to have you in our lives. I respect you so much as a Christian woman, mother, and friend. Thank you for being there for me through bad pimples and bad boyfriends. Through moving away and missing home. Through diagnosis and surgery. Through shots and early menopause. Through engagement and wedding. Let's just face it...that wedding wouldn't have happened without you! So thank you for it all.

Simply put, you are incredible. Thank you for being such a great mother and friend to me. I hope you have a wonderful day today where we choose to honor you. I love you!

"Glory In The Highest" Chris Tomlin

You are the first
You go before
You are the last
Lord, You're the encore
Your name's in lights for all to see
The starry host declare Your glory

Glory in the highest
Glory in the highest
Glory in the highest

Apart from You there is no god
Light of the world
The Bright and Morning Star
Your name will shine for all to see
You are the one
You are my glory

And no one else could ever compare
To You, Lord
All the earth together declares ...
Glory in the highest ... to You, Lord

All the earth will sing Your praise
The moon and stars, the sun and rain
Every nation will proclaim
That You are God and You will reign

Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory to You, Lord
Glory, glory hallelujah
Hallelujah

Graduation!

Well, we finally did it! Mike and I graduated last Friday, May 1st. It was a great day full of celebrations. Mike's parents, my parents, one of my brother's and sister-in-law, my nieces and nephew, and my Grandma all got to come! It was so nice to have all of those people there to share in the day with us. Both sets of our parents and my grandma then stayed the night and helped us move all day the next day. It was a long and tiring day, but it was great to have everyone's help and we were so excited to be moving to Tulsa! We are now moving on to a new chapter of our lives and are looking forward to all that it will bring!

The three reasons why we were sad to leave Edmond.


Proud parents!

More proud parents.

The nieces playing with our graduation hats.

Moving day!

Our very first place! We'll miss you Apt. 113.

Sunday Song

"My Deliverer" Rich Mullins

Joseph took his wife and her child and they went to Africa
To escape the rage of a deadly king
There along the banks of the Nile, Jesus listened to the song
That the captive children used to sing
They were singin'

My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by

Through a dry and thirsty land, water from the Kenyon heights
Pours itself out of Lake Sangra's broken heart (its broken heart)
There in the Sahara winds Jesus heard the whole world cry
For the healing that would flow from God's own scars
I hear Moses singing

My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by

He will never break His promise - He has written it upon the sky

My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by

I will never doubt His promise though I doubt my heart, I doubt my eyes

My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by

He will never break His promise though the stars should break faith with
the sky

My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming

Finally.

Today I will become a college graduate.

Tomorrow I will become a resident of the Tulsa area again.

I am beyond thrilled! Pictures to come soon.
