My Prayer

This past weekend my friends from college had a baby shower for me here in town. It was wonderful to have everyone together and of course for Tara to be in town. I had a great time and got good stuff for the baby! My friends took pictures so once I get those I will post some from the shower.

One of the gifts that I got though from Tara was a cd called "Sing Over Me: Worship Songs and Lullabies." Most of the songs are worship songs you have probably heard but in a lullaby form/sound. It is just SO beautiful and peaceful to listen to. You should definitely check it out. One of the songs I had never heard on it was called "Hold on to Jesus." What a beautiful sweet song - it makes me want to cry listening to it because it is our desire for our little baby girl. There is nothing more I could ask for then for our little girl to love God and want to hold on to Him through the good and bad times. There will be hard times for her because of the fallen world we live in and I can't protect her from those, but God can ALWAYS be there and help her through. I pray for our baby girl every morning on my way to work and this has become part of my prayer. I'm posting the lyrics to the song but you should listen to it if you get a chance! Thank you to everyone who already remembers our little girl in your prayers - that's the most important thing you can do! I'll post again later because I go for another check-up today with the midwife. Here's the lyrics:

You’re a little piece of heaven
You’re a golden ray of light
And I wish I could protect you
From the worries of this life
But if there’s one thing I could tell you
It’s no matter what you do
Hold to Jesus He’s holding on to you

The world will try to tell you
That might is more than right
That beauty’s on the outside
And being good’s a losing fight
But remember what I’ve told you
Because the world will make you choose
Hold to Jesus He’s holding on to you

Hold on to Jesus
Cling to His love
Rest deep in His mercy
Whenever things get rough
Don’t lose sight of His goodness
And don’t ever doubt this truth
That when you hold on to Jesus
He’s holding on to you

Hear me dear Jesus
Rock this little one to sleep
Keep her close when she’s scared
And give her grace when she is weak
I know she’ll stumble
But I know she’ll make it through
If You hold to her just like You said You’d do
Hold her, Jesus
So she’ll hold on tight to You
