Currently ~ You Make Me Brave

Amazed at how God is in the details. He has been drawing me in to His word more & the scriptures have begun to come alive. Things that I have read hundreds of times I see in a whole new way & have so much more meaning. Nehemiah, Ruth, Ester, Romans all filling my mind and my heart. Oh My Heart! God has healed it, grown it & stretched it. Praying that God continues to remind me that HE is the One who sustains me, He continues to take away the fear that can keep me from taking the next right step. He's Totally Awesome like that. So thankful that I have a copy of God's word. Here's where you can help get a bible into the hands of men, women & children in Iran

So thankful for Godly men & women who speak truth through their books and how God uses them in such a mighty way. If you're looking for a new summer read here's a few 'MUST READS"

• In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day by Mark Batterson

You Make Me Brave

I stand before You now
The greatness of Your renown
I've heard of the majesty and wonder of You
King of Heaven, in humility, I bow

As Your love, in wave after wave
Crashes over me, crashes over me
For You are for us, You are not against us
Champion of Heaven,
You made a way for all to enter in

I've heard You calling my name
I've heard the song of love that You sing
So I will let you draw me out beyond the shore
Into Your grace

You make me brave
You make me brave
You call me out beyond the shore into the waves

You make me brave
You make me brave
No fear can hinder now the Love that made a way

You make me brave
You make me brave
You call me out beyond the shore into the waves

You make me brave
You make me brave
No fear can hinder now the promises You've made

Making Memories ~ #harpervacay2k14

We headed to South Padre Island for a fun-filled week with a stop at the San Antonio Zoo on the way. Everyone had a great time with the whole Harper crew, 24 peeps + one on the way:) I'm pretty sure most of our kids turned into fish while we were there. So thankful for Sid's mom who makes this beach vacation happen and for my brother's and sister in-laws for planning the fun stuff & helping with our big 'ole crew.
