Dear Body of Mine

This is a strange letter. And I feel strange writing this but I need to. You were such a part of my life. I took you for granted, like so many things in life. I didn’t take care of you enough. I wasn’t careful about how I treated you and what I put into you. You use to be able to do so many things; you use to have such natural stamina. You use to be strong and could last through anything. You could do anything. But now, you are weak. You are hurting and aching. You have no stamina and you are not working properly. And all those plans I had for you are gone.

I don’t like admitting this but I need to learn to live with a changed you.

I have to let go. I am letting you go. I’m saying goodbye to the way you use to be, to the things I use to do with you and all the things you did for me. And now I’m going to be thankful for what I have now, what I can still do. I don’t like it but it’s necessary. And when I start to dwell on the way you used to be and all that you could do, I’ll say goodbye again and look with appreciation at what I still have.

God is in Control

This is no time for fear
This is a time for faith and determination
Don't lose the vision here
Carried away by emotion
Hold on to all that you hide in your heart
There is one thing that has always been true
It holds the world together

God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
God is in control, oh God is in control

History marches on
There is a bottom line drawn across the ages
Culture can make its plan
Oh, but the line never changes
No matter how the deception may fly
There is one thing that has always been true
It will be true forever

God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
God is in control, oh God is in control

He has never let you down
Why start to worry now?
He is still the Lord of all we see
And He is still the loving Father
Watching over you and me

God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
God is in control, oh God is in control

While I'm Waiting...

I wanted to share this song with you. It's a great song I've come to love during this time of my life. It's by John Waller, and its featured in the movie Fireproof (which is a great Christian movie you should watch if you haven't already seen it).

Family Matters!

I would like to make an important announcement. Family Matters Season 1 was released today - June 8th, 2010 - on DVD for the first time ever. Oh yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Steve Urkel and the Winslow gang are back!!!

Northern Ontario!

I'm back from a week's holiday in Northern Ontario. We went to the cottage and to my brother's to see baby Evan. Here are a few pictures.

The weather was unseasonably gorgeous (with no humidity!). And although the bugs like to eat me, the lake was relaxing and not to mention beautiful.

My precious nephew Evan is growing and healthy and is absolutely adorable.

Evan learning to play Wizard at a very young age! He has the games gene too!

The trip finished with seeing 2 moose by the highway on the drive back south.
