Wow, so it has been a long long time since my last blog!! A lot has changed!! Baby Henry is here and doing great! Life is full and wonderful, and we couldn't be happier!!
I just wanted to share something with you all that I was thinking about tonight. This past year, my favorite song has been David Crowder Band's, How He loves. It has been a song that I play for Owen, over and over again, especially at bed time. It is our routine. I have always loved how it just calms him down and relaxes him and it is such a great song to fall asleep too!!!
When I was in labor with Henry, Shane put this song on for me a few times. I was at the stage in my labor where it was about to transition, and I knew we were getting to the end of the road. Many time, i just cried through the song. No other emotion seemed appropriate except to cry. It wasn't a sad cry, it was just pure emotion. Before i was a parent, i didn't know how much love you was possible for one little body. And adding another one, I just couldn't imagine it!! Don't get me wrong, i was excited, but at the time, it all seemed to hit me at once! And i listened to the words of the song closely and it was so simply beautiful. And as soon as he came out, it was like, wow, love just overflowed for him instantly!! We as parents love our kids to the end....just imagine how much God loves us. And the song says it "how he loves us!" He just loves us because we are his! I know too many people that just think that God couldn't possibly love them, but they are so wrong! I just wish people could feel that love He has for us, and know that no matter what, His love will never fade!
So i will forever play this songs for my kids and pray that they will always know, and never doubt how much He loves them!! And their momma too!!( and daddy) :)
So now that i just put out there what was on my heart, I hope it speaks to someone!
Hopefully i will blog more often! We will see how that goes!
Be blessed!!
Amanda
