Out of my sickness...



Ok, so I dropped off the face of the earth for the past 3 months.  I'm not very good at keeping up with this blog normally, but add all day long nausea and puking and you get.. no word from me for a really long time :)
Our little family is growing, which is awesome- and also the reason for the sickness.  The last few months have been a dark time for me, impossible and undesirable to recount.  Only the mercy of our Lord, the love of my tender husband (who took over all of my jobs),  and the generous friendship of our church family and friends who took the girls, fed them, loved and entertained them and sent us food home too have gotten us through that time of sickness.  But through it we are, hopefully..

One of the first well days I had, I remember washing dishes in the sink and listening to my ipod.  The first song that shuffled up was this-    

Out of my bondage sorrow and night,
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come.
Into Thy freedom, gladness and light
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of my sickness into Thy health,
Out of my want and into Thy wealth,
Out of my sin and into Thy-self
Jesus I come to Thee...

Out of earth's sorrows into Thy balm,
Out of life's storms and into Thy calm,
Out of distress to jubilant psalm,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Lord, you give the sweetest presents to us...  Thank You for being the One we can go to, no matter what we are coming out of.
