We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel you near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if each promise from Your Word is not enough
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we’d have faith to believe

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

Seek justice
Love mercy
Walk humbly with your God

~  ~  ~

The only way we’ll ever stand
is on our knees with lifted hands.

I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don’t always get what I want
I get what I need

Oh I don’t always get what I want
I get what I need

This past week I watched a movie on the life of Fanny Crosby.  It’s a name I remember well from my early days in church when I flipped through the hymnal and saw Fanny Crosby listed as the author of so many songs.  At the time, I thought there were a whole lot of typos because there was no way someone could write that many songs!  Now, I know that she authored more than 8000 hymns, which is amazing in and of itself.  However, when you learn that she was blinded as a child by an incompetent doctor and had numerous other challenges throughout her life, one easily realizes the faith she shared was astounding.

This is one of my favorites that she wrote.

I chose to share this song this week in honor of our Adoption Anniversary.  September 29, 2006  the court finally recognized what Hubby and I felt in March 2005 – Woody and Tigger were officially members of the family.  When the courts finally made it official, the boys had been with us for 19 months, so for us it was more of a finalization on paper. As they’d been “ours” in our hearts for a long time.

Adoption has changed our lives in so many ways.  We are blessed beyond measure to be the forever family for Woody and Tigger.

When love takes you in and everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in
