While You are Waiting...

I LOVE these lyrics:

What Faith Can Do Lyrics




Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you're stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining


I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do


It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing


I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do


Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!


I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That's what faith can do!

Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise

Austin Kieff and...Jesus

Two mornings in a row our conversation on the way to school has been about Jesus "dying on the cross to set us free from our sins."  It amazes me how much my little fella actually comprehends about his relationship and the relationship we desire him to have one day with Christ.  This morning he asked some very tough questions.  Questions if I were talking to an adult I could answer easily.  However, I hesitated in my responses to him.  And then I realized, if he was asking these questions, I needed to have faith that God would help him understand the answers.  It was not my responsibility to make him understand, but to plant the seed.  Well Austin Kieff definitely doesn't need a seed...I think that seed was planted long ago.  I think we are in the "tending" phase.  I pray that my example and the example of those around him provides the right "fertilizer!" 

His faith and love for our Lord never ceases to amaze/surprise me.  He is so matter-of-fact with his beliefs...no hesitation, no question.  God is the only God and the blood of Jesus washes our sins away when we believe.  Amen. 

I pray that the Lord will give me the words to say when Austin Kieff is asking these questions.  I pray that Austin Kieff never waivers in his faith and that his love for the Lord is always as passionate as it is now.  God truly blessed me with my son...and uses him to minister to my heart on a daily basis.
