Our Song...

NOTE:
Just spoke with Carlee and got the word that her blood work has come back clear! Thanks for prayers. :)


Today is a rainy, dreary afternoon.
Isn't it strange, how the whether affects your mood?

I was looking for an encouraging song on my iTunes account and came across this one. It's kind of a paraphrase of Psalm 3 that I wrote for my sister Carlee when she was battling breast cancer.
I can't really take credit for the thoughts expressed in the song--thanks to King David-- so I don't suppose it's I'll-mannered for me to say that it's made my heart feel somewhat restful again today. Outside the window, a brooding sky hovers over a gray, tempestuous ocean. And yet:

You, LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
I call out to the LORD,
and he answers me from His holy mountain.

Carlee goes in for a 6-month check up tomorrow, and I'm sure would be grateful for your prayers. Those days when we sat and cried through this song seem far away; but somehow, not far enough away.

I love you, sis. :)

    Oh Danielle-

    I was feeling so down tonight and wanted some encouragement...just felt led to check your site like I always do (just never comment!). This was the encouragement I needed, bless the Lord! You are such an amazing woman, and I so admire how you're using your single years. God will reward your faithfulness, Dani!

    Dear sweet Dani,
    I was missing you tonight and SO enjoyed hearing your voice! You're a wonderful sister (and auntie, and daughter....) May the Lord lift your head, be your shield and answer you from His holy mountain. Love, Mom

    Dear Dani,
    Just a note to say I'm praying for Carlee tonight. She and I met years ago at an ATI function after my brother, David Smith, went to Russia with your brother Scott...anyway, that was a long time ago, but how neat to see how God has blessed her! Praying that she gets good news tomorrow.

    PS Also a cool thing for me to have 'met' you through your blog...I can see that you are a ruby waiting for God's best! Don't give up; don't settle for something else! May He bless you as you live to be a blessing to others!
