Music of our Soul ~ Baby Care Love

up on the mountain ...
closer to God

"Quiero estar más cerca, llévame más profundo. Yo quiero conocer, tu corazón" ... "Mirame con sus ojos de amor" ... "Majestad, majestad, tu gracia me ha encontrado tal como soy,Vacio entregado pero vivo en Tus manos, Por siempre soy cambiado por tu amor, En presencia de Su Majestad" ...

"Pull me a little closer, Take me a little deeper, I want to know your heart" ... "You look at me with your eyes of love" ... "Majesty, Majesty, Your grace has found me just as I am empty handed but alive in Your hands, forever I am changed by Your love, in the presence of Your Majesty" ...

Worship has been our lifeline to Father ... the other night M & J said, "I just can't get those words out of my head!" Oh Father, our soul longs for Your presence, we find life as we worship you in spirit and in truth. Our times of worship in Spanish have been so life giving ... worship is our love language with our Father and we are overwhelmed as He looks at us with His eyes of love, pulls us closer and changes us in His presence!

Life in the City ... This week involved a lot of bus and travel time to be refreshed by life at the Base. The teams were home for a week of teaching and we enjoyed sweet fellowship. Wednesday night worship time and Friday family night with our family of 30+ were definitely

"it's not cold mama!"

highlights of the week. Thankful for the freedom home school offers allowing the boys to do school at the Base while Dad sat in on the teaching, I helped in the kitchen and Adam played with Dylan! ... Meeting new friends that allowed Jedidiah to quickly form a "Friend Club" ... beautiful sunshine to dry off after a water balloon battle and fun in the creek ... barefoot in the green grass at Bosque de la Hoja, family soccer game, playing on the play ground, and delicious supper at Delynn and Gloria's (Joseph said it almost felt like we were at Akron Park!) ... meeting some of the parents of the students ... meeting familiar faces at the Mennonite Convention of Pastors ... Joseph was my market buddy, silence is golden! ... Cannot even begin to describe the difference between my market trips with J & J: one never lacks for words and the other ponders words deep in his heart! ... Mama enjoyed some time out with the ladies from church talking about traditions, "how does one describe sauerkraut?" ... Jedidiah found new life this week as Luis prayed for him, he felt like God took his old heart and made it completely brand new ... I was left speechless as I heard Micah praying over Byron ... cannot begin to describe the joy when one sees their child being overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit ... dancing with Adam because, he asked ... finding comfort in my steady rock of a husband as we share the depth of our sorrow and height of our joy while mopping up "an inch" of water in our kitchen and dining room ...

leader of the pack!

Sunday afternoon with church friends at their property up on the mountain ... feeling His unending favor at the budding of these new friendships ... "Quiero estar más cerca, llévame más profundo. Yo quiero conocer, tu corazón"

Psalm 89:1 "I will sing of the LORD’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations."
