A bit of a different week this week ... filled with excitement, disappointment, joy, frustration, but the most important thing of all this week ... was that in everything, no matter what, it was filled with Jesus!
I have a couple of songs on my heart that I will post the lyrics to, as well as the link to you.tube. These songs have their own special place in my heart for my own reasons, but they also share something we all can gain insight from. These songs shine the light on Jesus and the cross! If nothing else, let's let go of everything of this world for just a few moments and give Jesus some praise!
"Hero" by Abandon
He walked the dirty streets famous for nothingHe said, "Come follow me" and they cameA face like all the rest, but something was differentThe Son of God would lead the way
And soon they all would say
There He goes, a hero, a savior to the worldHere He stands with scars in His handsWith love He gave His life so we could be freeThe savior of the world
He spoke with clarity, walked across the seaA single word would calm the stormHis touch could heal the sick, but He was called a hypocriteLaid behind the stone, his death was shortly mourned
He left the curtain torn
There He goes, a hero, a savior to the worldHere He stands with scars in His handsWith love He gave His life so we could be freeThe savior of the world
He chose to take the cross, shed tears for the lostThe broken and the needy, forgiving those who were and will beThe angel made it clear, he told them, "Have no fearHe's not here, He's not here"
There He goes, a hero, a savior to the worldHere He stands with scars in His handsWith love He gave His life so we could be freeThe savior of the world

"Lead Me to the Cross" by Hillsong United
Savior I come
Quiet my soul remember
Redemption's hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lossLead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh Lead me, lead me to the cross
You were as I
Tempted and tried
Human
The word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now you're risen
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as loss
Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh Lead me, lead me to the cross

As for the adoption process, I was submitted to the US Embassy on Wednesday morning!!! Praise God!!! Another step closer! Typically it has been 4-6 weeks then before final pick-up but I am still banking on having her by Halloween!
Praise God for forgiveness! Praise God for the cross! Praise God that He is enough! Praise God for Jesus!
Pray for God to make known any area in your life where you might need forgiven or perhaps need to forgive - Pray that God would help you to then lay down that thing or person at the foot of the cross - Pray for a new awareness of God and understanding that He is in fact all we need - Pray for my sweet baby LyLah!
