Praise Baby

I seriously love this kid.

I figured I'd catch you with a picture and then you'd continue reading (or stop, since I know most of you just look to the blog for pictures). Anyway, it's been a tough week in our household. From non-stop screaming babies, to family illness, to finances, to heartbreaking news from some good friends. It's been one of those weeks that leave you totally exhausted and dry.

Our church recently put out a worship album that pretty much plays on repeat nonstop when we're in the car. One song in particular has touched me and really just sings to what I've been feeling in the last week or so. I've attached a video of the song below because I want you to be able to experience it, too. It's a long one, but if you've got time, I promise you, it's worth it. I was playing it in the car this evening while Logan and I drove around town and had really gotten into it and was a bit lost in the music until I heard what I thought was crying from the backseat. I turned the music down, looked back and Logan looked at me, smiled and continued "singing" with the music while kicking her boot into the back of my chair (her singing is more of a wailing of sorts...but we're getting there), she started soft and then I turned the music back up and she got a lot louder and we worshipped together. It was such a special moment, I just didn't want it to end!

The song starts off a bit slow and you may be tempted to stop watching/listening, but give it some time. When you hit the, "we will overcome, by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony" frame, you'll understand (that's the part Logan usually jumps in at, I think she can feel the music change). The song was written by the guys at New Life Church and the story behind the song is pretty amazing too. You can see a video of that here. We serve an incredible God!

I know this is a blog that usually centers on Logan and her happenings, but I though it'd be nice to share a little bit of my heart, too.
