Your Love Is Strong

Howdy folks!  I hope you all have had a great week so far.  This past weekend was good and bad.  Friday night Chris and I decided to invite some friends over to watch a movie!  It had been a few weeks since we had been able to spend time with some of our friends and thought it would be fun.  Megan, my SIL, and Simon, one of Chris's old roommates, came over to watch Date Night.  We LOVE that movie - it is a must see!  We had a lot of fun just talking, sharing stories, and updating each other with our lives.  We can't wait to do it again sometime :)  Saturday morning we woke up STARVING and I was planning on making a big breakfast to start off our day, then Chris surprised me and wanted to take me out to Peach Valley!  I immediately jumped on that bandwagon :)  It was great to spend time with each other and enjoy a meal without having to cook or clean up afterwards.  So far, the weekend had been great!  Then we enjoyed an afternoon of college football - and an awesome Gator victory, which made it even better!  Saturday night I went to bed not feeling the greatest, but still planing on going to work the next day.  When I woke up Sunday, I was having a rough morning.  Let's just say I was making several trips back and forth to the bathroom....thankfully my preceptor let me go home early.  I spent the rest of the day re cooperating and was able to go in Monday and Tuesday. 

Wednesday night is my pod group night (yay!) and tonight we met at Bonefish for their $5 Bang Bang Shrimp!  Delicious!  I forgot my camera at home or else I would have taken a picture :)  It was great to be able to fellowship with each other, discuss God's word, and see how He is already working in all of our lives.  I was a good wife and got food for my hubby, but here it is 8:30 and he's still not home yet - should be soon though! 

Tomorrow we are going to Bradford High School's Tornado Whirl as apart of their homecoming week!  I don't know what it is yet - some sort of pep rally I believe - but it should be entertaining.  For now, I want to leave you with lyrics to a song that has been a great encouragement to me recently...listen to it :)

Heavenly Father
You always amaze me
Let your kingdom come
In my world and in my life
You give me the food I need
To live through the day
And forgive me as I forgive
The people that wronged me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window
The birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune
Or out of place
I look at the meadow
And stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl
On her wedding day

So why do I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need

Chorus (3x):
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

The kingdom of the heavens
Is now advancing
Invade my heart
Invade this broken town
The kingdom of the heavens
Is buried treasure
Will you sell yourself
To buy the one you've found?

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me

(Chorus 3x)

Our God in heaven
Hallowed be
Thy name above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us weary sinners
Keep us far from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons
