cry out to Jesus

"to everyone who's lost someone they love
long before it was their time
you feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye

and to all of the people with burdens and pains
keeping you back from your life
you believe that there's nothing and there is no one
who can make it right

there is hope for the helpless
rest for the weary
love for the broken heart
there is grace and forgiveness
mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
cry out to Jesus, cry out to Jesus"

-- third day: cry out to Jesus

hannah grace lucas

At just after 4pm today, Hannah Grace Lucas passed away. At seventeen days of age, she fought an amazing battle to overcome the odds of being delivered at only 25 weeks. Now, though, she is in the arms of Jesus.

Please continue to pray for her family as they deal with the loss of this precious little loved one.

Hannah Grace Lucas was born on January 10, weighing 15 ounces and measuring 11 inches in length.

"naked i came from my mother's womb, and naked i shall return there. the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. blessed be the name of the Lord!"
-- Job 1:21

...

i'm struggling with some personal stuff right now. i know it will all work out and i know i'll be ok, but i'm really struggling, so please pray for me.

thanks.

everything.

this song has come to mean a lot to me over the last week or so, as i draw nearer the unknowns of graduation and "the real world", so i thought i'd share. i've had a lot of decisions to make recently, and some of my plans have changed. what's scarier, is that i'm fairly certain of the direction God's leading me in for the future and it is positively terrifying. but i love the message this song gives; it's comforting. no matter what, God is there, in the good and bad, in the known and unknown. and as long as He remains my everything, as terrifying and unknown as the future may be, i really can't go wrong...

God in my living
there in my breathing
God in my waking
God in my sleeping

God in my resting
there in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking

be my everything
be my everything
be my everything
be my everything

God in my hoping
there in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting

God in my laughing
there in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
be my everything

be my everything
be my everything
be my everything
Jesus everything

Jesus everything
Jesus everything
Jesus everything
Jesus everything...
