Everything I Need

It's been a long week.  Long.  Long, long.  I am tired.  Not physically tired, but down to the core.  I find that I have a hard time dealing with the disturbances of life.  Everyday life, when everything is going well...that's hard enough, but throw a kink in the plan and I pretty much fall apart.  And there have been several kinks...

Good things, too, though.  Earlier in the week, we took William's processors and accessories to Hearts for Hearing to donate.  Hopefully some children will benefit from the gift of sound.  It was really hard to do it, but it also felt good to do.  On the one hand, it's so frustrating.  HE should be here wearing those items and enjoying life.  On the other hand, he was always so glad to help others and it makes me feel good that some other child will get to experience the blessing of technology.  I hope they have the same joy that he had.

It was also fun to take a couple of special gifts to some special people who made such a difference in his life.  Love these ladies!


I'm trying to press on.  I want to fulfill God's purpose for my life.  I want to have a full and joyful life.  I want to breathe easy.  I want to be carefree again.  I realize that I have changed.  I know that things will never be the way they were.  But I hope I won't always be an empty shell.  Will it always be so hard?  I don't know.  But He is faithful and He is carrying me.  He is everything I need.

Lyrics:
When every step is so hard to take 
And all of my hope is fading away 
When life is a mountain that I can not climb 
You carry me, Jesus carry me. 

You are strength in my weakness 
You are the refuge I seek 
You are everything in my time of need 
You are everything, You are everything I need 

When every moment is more than I can take 
And all of my strength is slipping away 
When every breath gets harder to breathe 
You carry me, Jesus carry me 

You are strength in my weakness 
You are the refuge I seek 
You are everything in my time of need 
You are everything, You are everything I need 

I need You 
You are everything I need 
I love everything about You 

You are strength in my weakness 
You are the refuge I seek 
You are everything in my time of need 
You are everything, You are everything I need
