The Earth is Yours

One of my favorite passages in the Bible is Job 37.  I love that in the midst of Job's troubles and trials, he is reminded of the awesome powers of his Lord.  So, when I heard this song for the first time, it made my heart smile.

Your voice it thunders
The oaks start twisting
The forest sounds with cedars breaking
The waters see You and start their writhing
From the depths a song is rising

Now its rising from the ground

Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy Lord
The earth is Yours and singing
Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy Lord
The earth is Yours
The earth is Yours

Your voice it thunders
The ground is shaking
The mighty mountains now are trembling
Creation sees You
And starts composing
The fields and trees they start rejoicing.

Now its rising form the ground
Its rising from the ground
Hear us crying out
Hear us crying out

Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy Lord
The earth is Yours and singing
Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy Lord
The earth is Yours
The earth is Yours

Pretty Pink Princess

I must admit, I never thought having a girly, frilly, fru-fru, princessy girl would make my heart feel such sweet things.  My Gracie girl adores all things girl.  When I put on my make up, she hollars out, "Me tooooo, I unt sooommmee! PEEAAASSSE".  She loves to walk around in my heels.  Her favorite girls are "Pin-AHS"  (Princess)  She naturally chooses pink, snuggles in close, says pretty several times a day, and puckers up for lipstick.  She thinks that purses, phones, and sunglasses are items to be treasures.  And, while she doesn't like to keep them on, she likes pretty shoes/boots.  (Think Cinderella???)  Case in point:  She just brought me Isaac's GI Joe man and said, "Huuuug", and is now wrapping him in a blanket and rocking him in her nanny-rocker.  (Abbie would have been karate chopping him.) 

Yes, this girl is a ....girl.  And she is mine.
