a little longer - jenn johnson - a must listen
Jenn Johnson
What can I do for You?
What can I bring to You?
What kind of song would you like me to sing?
'Cause I'll dance a dance for You
Pour out my love to You
What can I do for You beautiful king?
'Cause I... can't thank You enough.
I can't thank You enough
All of the words that I find... and I can't thank You enough.
No matter how I try... I can't thank You enough.
Then I hear You sing to me
"You... don't have to do a thing
Just simply be with me and let those things go
'Cause they can wait another minute
Wait... this moment is too sweet
Would you please stay here with Me
And love on Me a little longer
I'd love to be with you a little longer
'Cause I'm in love with you"
one version says:
you don't have to do a thing. just simply be with me and let the housework go, the kids can wait another minute, wait - this moment is too sweet...
speaks volumes to me about how much Jesus just wants to be in relationship with us. be still and know. don't be a martha doing work work work for him, be a mary at his feet, with him, soaking in and receiving Him.

hold me, jamie grace - will's version
if you don't know the song very well, it may sound like a lot of nothing.
if you do know the song, i think you'll get a kick out of it.

the seventh month
september - the seventh month - it was a busy one with lots of changes for miss phoebe.
in her seventh month of life,
phoebe started crawling,
got her first tooth,
got her first ear infection,
started pulling up and standing.
and her hair is getting much longer!
i'm trying to get her to take just two long naps a day, but most days she insists that she still needs two naps and a small third nap.
she is 8 months old today. she is nearing 17 lbs.
she likes to get in her 24 oz of formula a day - sometimes a little less. and she will eat solids three meals a day - 2-3 Tablespoons or ounces at a time. i was trying to bump up her solids and decrease her milk but the doc said to keep her near 24 oz milk a day.
now on to month 8...

will's sayings at three years old
"let's go to chaganooga!" (let's go to chattanooga!) - we stopped in chattanooga a few weeks ago on our way to see my brother's baby. coolidge park is a lot of fun. they have a great carousel, park, walking bridge over the tennessee river, and a riverboat that is a hotel that you can walk on. he still talks about the gang plank.
those people are loving each other - this is what will says whenever he sees two people on a motorcycle.
let's go to puglix - publix
"that's God's carwash" - he says this when it rains
"that's a cemement truck"
"it's upside side down"
"i'm a train! i'm a long long train. look at all my passenger cars." - yeah, this one disturbs me a little bit. he follows this with making very accurate train sound effects, walking and running pretending to be a train.
and other things about will:
the frustrating things -
the boy is strong willed! he always has a better idea. he's either going 0 miles per hour or 100. he is famous for parking lot tantrums because he often times will not hold my hand or he runs away from me. therefore he gets dragged to the car.
his main job right now is to get whatever phoebe has or is headed towards or is looking at - and put it on a table or chair out of her reach. he had good intentions at first, but now it has turned ugly.
the cool things -
he is very accepting of people
he is not scared of the dark
he is not scared of mascots - big fuzzy creatures (like i was at three years old)
he can go 12 hours without peeing
also, he really struggles getting dressed himself. we are working on it.
he cannot blow his nose!
he is a little scared of the carwash.
he will not take a nap anymore unless he is sick - he gets 11 hours at night.
