A New Look.

In an effort to simplify the technological aspects of my life, I have consolidated my blogs into one blog via WordPress. Although I am slowly working on changing all those white-fonted posts to black font, all the previous posts are on my new blog... here's the address and the link for A Way in the Desert:

Enjoy! See you there!

Immanuel, God With Us

A sign shall be given
A virgin will conceive
A human baby bearing
Undiminished deity
The glory of the nations
A light for all to see
That hope for all who will embrace
His warm reality

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel

For all those who live in the shadow of death
A glorious light has dawned
For all those who stumble in the darkness
Behold your light has come

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel...

Immanuel, Michael Card

This song has been especially meaningful this week, as we trust in the Lord for healing for Katie's dad since his craniotomy on Wednesday. It's been a long few days for the Lewis family; lots of updates across the miles and trips back and forth. On Facebook, a friend of Katie's posted the reference of Psalm 91. It's meaningful as well in this time... Psalm 91:1-2, 4, 14-16:

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
They say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
...He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart...
"Because they love me," says the Lord, "I will rescue them; I will protect them, for they acknowledge my name. They will call on me, and I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will deliver them and honor them. With long life, I will satisfy them and show them my salvation."
