Happy Birthday Finley



When clouds veil sun, and disaster comes



Oh my soul, oh my soul



When waters rise, and hope takes flight



Oh my soul, oh my soul




Ever faithful



Ever true



You alone



You never let go....



You never let go



You never let go



You never let go.



When clouds brought rain



and disaster came




Oh my soul, oh my soul




When waters rose, and hope had flown




Oh my soul, oh my soul



Oh my soul




overflows



Oh what love, oh what love



O my soul



fills with hope




perfect love that never lets go.....




In joy and pain



in sun and rain



You're the same
oh you never let go
(lyrics by David Crowder Band)


"In the same way, the spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express."
Romans 8:26

"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17


These verses have given me great comfort in times of need. I know some people may question why I always write about the bad times along with the good when it comes to celebrating Finley's birthdays. Here's why: In the Bible, whenever someone witnessed a miracle or someone was healed they were told to spread the great news; to tell everyone they encountered about what they had seen. I feel in a way this happened to us. We needed and prayed for a miracle and were given one... so we will tell of it until the end of our days. I thank God for Finley's life and can't imagine ours without him in it. We serve an amazing and gracious God...a God of miracles!
