Olivia Faith Clark- Happy One

It all started in South Carolina, well I guess not exactly in S.C. ;)
but from the moment I thought that there was "something" going, I remember it Perfectly.
I was in Savannah for a work conference, and I knew that "it" was supposed to be happening soon, but when it didn't, I didn't worry, until I woke up early one morning feeling a little sick, and I just KNEW it was more then that.... I immediately called Steve to tell him my theory... to which he said.... "you don't call me early in the morning and tell me THAT" I laughed and thought of him laying in bed, his mind racing in all directions... within 5 minutes of my first call he called me back with much more panic in his voice then before..."was I sure?" of course I wasn't sure, I was at a hotel for a work conference, do you think I'm going to ask my boss to run me to the closest drugstore so I can pick up a pregnancy test??? So Steve continued to call me every so often throughout the day to check on my status and see if I had started.... after about this 8th time calling, I think that is when the reality set in....... Another One???? This was the same week that Cohen broke his leg while sliding down our slide with David.... so needless to say the Chaos that was happening at home, was not being lightened by my suspision of another baby arriving in 9 months... Needless to say I was right and the thrill began to find both of us, especially when we found out it was a girl.....A Daughter!

Fast Forward to what seems like a blink of the eye, and Now our Baby is ONE.... My heart beats a little quicker when I say that.... She is the most Amazing Joy to My Heart.

I want you to understand my heart, I want you to understand the way she makes me feel, I want you to understand the way she makes me want to be better for Her, but simple words are not enough... I have a million dreams in store for her, and "wisdom" that I hope to one day say to her. I wish everyone could see her smile, and hear her laugh... I pray I never ever forget the sound of that laugh......

My prayer for her is that she may know that she is BEAUTIFUL in God's eyes, and that she takes that beauty inside of her and blesses everyone around her. That she is strong in wisdom and meekness, and that she never lives a day without laughter.

She has made my life that much more complete and from that moment I knew of her I have been madly in love with her

Miss Olivia Faith - you hold my heart in your tiny little hands

Heaven's Song

So I would love to post all the lyrics from Phil Whickham's new cd Heaven & Earth, because each one is so wonderful.... But for tonight I will just post this one... Enjoy


You wrote a letter and You signed your name
I read every word of it page by page
You said that You'd be coming, coming for me soon
Oh my God I'll be ready for You

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song

I hear Your voice and I catch my breath
'Well done my child, enter in and rest'
Tears of joy roll down my cheek
It's beautiful beyond my wildest dreams

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing...

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing
No, I cant wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song

Choices

I have choices, every second of the day, to serve my Lord.

To honor Him with my speech and with my thoughts, with the way I love those around me and the way I worship Him.

Every moment, there is another opportunity, and I want to use as many of them as He will allow.

In fact, Scripture tells me that one day I will stand before Him, and I will hand the King of all Kings a tattered scrapbook of my days.

It is up to me to decide what the pages will reveal.

Cohen is Three!!!

So my Baby Boy turned three and of course I wanted to write him a beautiful letter just like all the other blogger mommies write to their children. I read their letters to their children, and I totally get it. I know exactly where they are coming from, they are reading my mind, and hearing my heart!!! So now it is my turn, it is my boys birthday, and it is time to share my heart........ but I'm blank, my mind empties with words and fills up with photos stored in my memory. I feel like a bad mom because I can't write into words how my heart and life has changed since the birth of my son, which is silly I know, but I still feel it. But I now realize that it doesn't matter that I can't put into words how my life has changed, how my heart has grown, and how I as a person will never be the same since that life changing day!!!

And though I might not be able to post a blog.... so that maybe one day down the road my son will read and know......I know..... and once he becomes a parent... He will know.... and truly that is all that matters.....

So here is my heart, wrapped up with blonde hair, hazel eyes, with a smile and personality that make everything worth it :)

I love you my baby boy...... Happy Three!!!
