2 months

As today hits the 2 month mark of Calvin's homegoing I cannot believe how fast it has gone. I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning just wishing that he was here with us, but trying to remember that he is so much better off in heaven. I thank God for the strength He has given me to get through each day.

Today i was listening to a cd that my friend gave me when we first found out about Calvin having T18. What an encouraging cd that reminds me that God's is in control and He is faithful. I want to share some of the lyrics of my favorite song on the cd. We listened to the song before and after Calvin was born. It will always remind me of our sweet Calvin and our time in the hospital....

FAITHFUL GOD

Faithful God, ever true
You are the One that we lean upon
Faithful God, Lord it’s you
You are the One that we look upon
Everyday Lord Your mercies are new
Everyday Lord we are trusting in You

Faithful God, You stay the same
You will not change
Your promise is true
Faithful God, we lift up one voice
We’ve made a choice and we put our trust in You
Faithful God; Yeah faithful God

Faithful God, ever true
You are the One that we lean upon
Faithful God, Lord it’s you
You are the One that we look upon
Everyday Lord Your mercies are new
Everyday Lord we are trusting in You

Faithful God, You stay the same
You will not change
Your promise is true
Faithful God, we lift up one voice
We’ve made a choice and we put our trust in You
Oh faithful God; Oh faithful God

Everyday Lord Your mercies are new
Everyday Lord we are trusting in You

Faithful God, You stay the same
You will not change
Your promise is true
Faithful God, we lift up one voice
We’ve made a choice and we put our trust in You

Oh we put our trust in You
Yes we put our trust in You

song

My brother-in-law Andrew sent me this song by the band Fee. I fell in love with it after crying while I was listening to it and now I cannot stop listening!

Arms that Hold

I know it seems that this could be
The darkest day you’ve known
But believe you me the God of strength
Will never let you go
He will overcome I know

And the arms that hold the universe
Are holding you tonight
You can rest inside
It’s gonna be alright
And the voice that calmed the raging sea
Is calling you His child
So be still and know He’s in control
He will never let you go

Through many dangers
Toils and snares You have already come
His grace has brought you save this far
And His grace will lead you home

You can hope
You can rise
You can stand
He’s still got the whole world in His hands

It is so comforting to know that the Lord is holding me in His arms. That He is giving me strength to get through the day. What a great God we serve!
