"then sings my soul!"

It’s been a better weekend than TLC and I expected! Thank You, Lord God Almighty and Jesus.

Henry started eating! (See the previous post if you're in the dark on this.) We were all in semi-shock. He was scary, scary sick. But so far, so good. There are a few hurdles to get past. We have faith he’ll be A-Okay!

TLC herself is a bit better, too! Woo Hoo and Yippee!!! She'll be seeing her new doctor later in the week. She does need some guidance with her constant physical ickyness.

Baby Belle’s birthday bash yesterday was FUN! She had no clue what the heck was going on—but she was a SWEET one-year-old. (I still cannot believe she’s one…WOWZER.)

Here she is in one of her outfits (Yes, she had two, of course. Duh. Winky. Wink.):

The family and friends who were able to come made it a special day (We missed all those that had other obligations!) and we’re grateful for their love and gifts. Truly appreciative...

Partyin' with her Pa-Pa!

Her expression!

She didn't know what to make of that candle.

Or the singing.

We have a new Frosting Fan!

I made my way West fairly early this morning. My Sweet Hubby and I had taken two vehicles yesterday so I could spend the night and keep My Precious Angels while TLC and Her Hubby went to dinner with special, SPECIAL friends.

As I drove the two hours home this a.m., I listened to my “Christian” playlist on my phone until time for Joel Live on my Sirius radio. I wanted to share the songs that get deep into my heart and soul. (It is Sunday, don’tchaknow…) Y’all should take my (Yes. Unsolicited.) advice and listen to them when you have some time—if you’re not already familiar with them. I'm betting at least one or two will get deep into your souls.

(I don’t have that many in this playlist. Or even many songs on my phone. I’m picky—so what I download? I ADORE.)

Holy Now by Peter Mayer

Tell Your Heart to Beat Again by Danny Gokey

10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord Oh My Soul) by Matt Redman

Because He Lives by Matt Maher

How Great Thou Art by Koryn Hawthorne (I treasure this song and have since I was in the 6^th grade which is a long story—but I ESPECIALLY crave this version. Koryn got pretty high up on The Voice 3-4 seasons ago. She's a talented and precious young woman.)

Between Two Thieves by Mike McClure (This one gives me chills and makes me know how much I need to work on my ability to forgive others…)

Hallelujah (featuring Jackie Evanko) by Peter Hollens

Amazing Grace by Joey and Rory (I can’t describe my feelings when I listen to this amazing song…one of My Sweet Husband’s favorite hymns. The fact that Joey has passed on just makes it even more extraordinary.)

Cry Out To Jesus by Third Day (When you’re down in the dumps…depressed…struggling with your faith…this beautiful song should help…)

Me and Jesus by Sundance Head (Oh, Y’all: this makes me want to DANCE! Sundance won The Voice a few months ago. This song will make you a BELIEVER! I am convinced...)

When I’m Gone by Joey and Rory (Be ready for this one if you haven’t heard it…it’ll get so deep into your bones you’ll shiver…cry...smile.)

Hope Y’all have had a HAPPY Sunday, Friends! Have a Wonderful Week…Wherever in the World you are…

Hugs,
