The Birthday Song

This is my birthday song.

I wrote this song when I turned 22 as a lonely single girl spending her birthday away from home for the first time. It was God speaking to me. Things were hard. He knew. I was lonely, but I was never alone. He was with me. I had vague ideas and pipe dreams about my life. He held (and still holds) my future.

Five years later, I'm still singing this song. The details of my life have changed (lots can happen in 5 years!), I have changed (I hope!), but what will never change is God and His promise that He will never leave or forsake me. He is faithful. He is faithful. He is faithful. 

Please, give your life to Jesus, and He will take care of you. He will take care of you!

"The Birthday Song"

I know your thoughts

I know your dreams

I know all your plans

I know all your schemes

I know your soft spot

Your achilles heel

I know that it hurts

I know how you feel

I know your heartache

and I know your tears

I've been in your shoes now

for 26 years

I'm your good Father

I'm your kind friend

Your knight in bright armour

From the world's end

I know when you're strong

I'm strong when you're weak

I know when you can't

Find the words to speak

In seasons of joy 

And seasons of rest

I'm your truest friend

I'll give you what's best

I know your downfalls

I know your fears

But I hold your future

I've planned all your years

I'm your good Father

I'm your kind friend

Your knight in bright armour

From the world's end

The Inaugural Post

This is a blog about meal-planning, music-making, island-dwelling, and the other delightful miscellany of my quotidian adventures.

This blog is a work-in-progress just as I am a work-in-progress. I am not a proficient writer, photographer, DIY-er, or fashionista, but nonetheless I have always wanted a blog. So here it is. I found myself in need of a project, a discipline if you will, so I have started my own little baby blog. Not a blog about my baby (although I do have one of those as well- a baby and a blog about my baby), a blog that IS a baby, yes? 

I may be technologically deficient (I couldn't figure out how to get my fancy little illustration into the title space), but look at all the fun words I've used so far!

Let's make a list, shall we?

inaugural

miscellany

quotidian

proficient

Goal for a future post:

Use the word "plebeian" 

PS. Tomorrow is my birthday
