Days to come, bring them on:)

Pictures from a recent fishing trip our family took...On one of the beautiful summer days that is now behind me....more fun lies ahead though!!

Feeling nostalgic and a little sad on the day before school starts!!  I don't want summer to end! I love having everyone here. It feels like the days are slipping through my fingers sometimes....and then I remember who they all belong to.  The words of this song mean so much to me, especially in light of loss and going through difficult times.  Somehow, though they also make me glad for the days ahead and the road to come. How about you?  Are you anticipating the days to come? Forgetting what is behind and striving toward the goal? Such great words here that I was compelled to write them out and share them:

Through All of it   by Colton Dixon

There are days of taking more than I can give
And there are choices that I made that I wouldn't make again
I've had my share of laughter
Of tears and troubled times
This has been the story of my life

I have won
And I have lost
I got it right sometimes, but sometimes I did not
Life's been a journey
I've seen joy, I've seen regret
Oh, and You have been my God through all of it

You were there when it all came down on me
When I was blinded by my fear and I struggled to believe
But in those unclear moments You were the one keeping me strong
This is how my story's always gone

I have won
And I have lost
I got it right sometimes, but sometimes I did not
Life's been a journey
I've seen joy, I've seen regret
Oh, and You have been my God through all of it
Oh, through all of it

And this is who You are, more constant than the stars
Up in the sky, all these years, all my life
I, I look back and I see You
Right now I still do
And I'm always going to

I have won
And I have lost
I got it right sometimes, but sometimes I did not
Life's been a journey
I've seen joy, I've seen regret
Oh, and You have been my God through all of it
Oh, and You have been my God through all of it
Oh, and You have been my God through all of it

I haven't had a computer since the first of August.  Now I have it back, which is a relief and I am completely thankful for, but really it was a nice break to be totally free of it.  Sometimes I wish I lived in the days of Laura and Mary...free to run on the prairie...with no technology to have to think about fixing or figuring out!!
