I can’t sing. Really, it’s bad.
But I do sometimes.
In the car.
Shower.
Doing the dishes.
Church (very, very quietly).
And when I tuck Nolan in to bed.
Tonight I sang several songs while
he rested his sleepy head on my lap
and I played with his baby soft hair.
Snoring began, so I was moving him.
He squirmed, eyes closed, and asked
if I could just sing him Amazing Grace again.
And once I finished the first verse,
he was out for good.
So thankful for an easy bedtime tonight.

Wow. I was hoping you might want to email? I wanted to tell you about Ele’s place. I’m praying for you daily and for Nolan. My blog is private if you want to see it, please email me at andrewfamilyof5@yahoo.com.
Bless you.

Angie, I’ve been following your journey from the beginning. And I want you to know how inspirational you’ve been to me right now. You can check out my blog and see what’s going on in our lives – I think you’ll relate. But I find myself rereading your posts since Mark went home, and being lifted up by your grace. God never guarantees that our lives will be easy. But I think the peace we have in the face of death is amazing. Thank you for continuing your journey on the blog. I love you, and pray for you and Nolan often!

What an angel. I know he is your gift.

That is really sweet. Of course, I am sure it helped that their were no stories of Big Foot told right before bed time!

Sounds like you sing great to me! Nolan loves it! That’s what counts!
Praying hard in Seattle!
Psalms 46:1-5 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

You and your son are in my prayers.
God bless you both.

I don’t know you personally, but I’m praying for you and Nolan. I am praying God would be a very comforting Father to your little boy, and that your heart will be encouraged in remembering that Christ has overcome death. Press on. You are not alone.

Praying right now!
Psalms 36:5-7 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
