Nothing to do

I'm sure everyone got lots of great things for Christmas. I love the stuff that I got, especially my brown and pink luggage! It's so cute! I think my favorite thing however is my black P-coat. I love it!

So here the question...what is your favorite thing you got for Christmas?

My Grandaddy

Sometimes it is so very obvious to me that God is God.

Last night was one of those times. An event that may seem little and unimportant to most of you but for me it was 2 seconds of time that quickly shot to the top of my most faithful moments in my life. As I was driving home last night around 11:00, I turned the radio on to a country station that I fequent. While turning and curving with the road, a song played that I have not heard in months but one that means so much to my life. Written below are the words to a song that I heard for the first time after my Grandad died last December.

In the midst of all the things going on in my life I managed to put off thinking about the one year anniversary event for a while but last night as I drove and this song played there was no escape. I was glad. I cried as hard as I have cried before for my Grandad and as I sang the words along with the radio I smiled in anticipation for the day I would again see my Grandad.

As I was smiling and singing and crying the coolest thing happened. I looked up at the sky only to be met by the brightest shooting star I have ever seen. I laughed and thought what a wonderful sign from God that things are gonna be ok and that he loves me.

When I Get Where I'm Going (click the song title to go to my myspace and hear the song)
By: Brad Paisley feat. Dolly Parton

When I get where I'm going
on the far side of the sky.
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly.

I'm gonna land beside a lion,
and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

(Chorus:)Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.

So much pain and so much darkness,
in this world we stumble through.
All these questions, I can't answer,
so much work to do.
But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.

Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
Hallelujah!I will love and have no fear.
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going.

May your life be blessed!!!
