I could actually use that title for every post.  God is good and is so faithful.  All of His promises are yes and amen.  Sofia continues to do extremely well.  There is a great chance that she will go home as soon as Friday!!  For more detailed information of what I'm talking about you can read here: www.carepages.com/carepages/Combs.

   Most of the time I have a million and one thoughts bouncing around in my head and to put it on paper (or post) is difficult, but certainly easier than just speaking it.  I need time to sort everything out.  The best way I know how to describe my brain is like a filing system.  I have main folders and subfolders and sub-sub-folders =)  Many of them have questions at the top and notes under the question of the the ongoing search to find out the answer to the question.  Then I'll come across a book, website, or whisper from God that pertains to these folders and I'll go to that folder, add this new information, compare it to previous information and if no conclusion at that time then I'll move on to something else and continue to come back as needed.  Wow, I just attempted to give anyone who attempts to even read this a glimpse into my mind.  Some people will read this and say, "ahh, yes, someone that thinks like me!" and others will ask, "what the H#L%..!?"  I thought this process was common to everyone but apparently according to a friend of mine, it's definately not.

  With that being said; yesterday was an interesting day for me.  It was my birthday as I was continually reminded to a certain extent.  I figured ahead of time that it would be a different kind of birthday as my daughter who is 12 days old is still in the NICU at the hospital.  She is doing well and looks to be out of here very soon, but none the less, she is still in here and the focus is on her.  The more I think about birthdays though, the more I think how they are anchored in pride and feed on selfishness.  Most people will say that I'm thinking about it too much but the older I get the funnier they feel.  Birthdays should be a time to thank God for creating us and giving us this life with Him; even if your life hasn't been the greatest, it's better than never being born.  I don't care what kind of life you've had, don't even attempt to think about or even ignorantly express what it would be like if you would have never been born and that you wish it were true; your head might explode.  So, it's my birthday and I think back to being born and now I have recently witnessed my beautiful daughter being born.  Something happens in that moment which is undescribable; it is awesome.  I use the word 'awesome' in it's actual meaning which should intice the reader to envision something that drops you to your knees as you are full of awe; not in the ridiculous use of , "those pancakes were awesome!"  During this whole process, God has continued to prime and prepare my heart for this wonderful girl and at the moment of birth and the first holding of her in my arms it came together in me at a crossing that stemed out as an amazing Love for her.  This Love is one that truly knows at that moment that you would give your LIFE for this child...

  I have a confession to make....... anybody that knows me will probably question the meaning of life after this.... I have downloaded, bought and payed for, not one but TWO Jason Upton songs....it must be a sign of the apocalypse.

  I'm sure you've seen it by now....but save this date.....
