Breath of Heaven

Christmas is over. I am hoping to put the Christmas tree away soon along with all the other Christmas decorations. I cannot believe that it has come and gone. Time flies by. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were putting the Christmas tree up... listening to Christmas music. My favorite Christmas CD is Amy Grant, Home for Christmas. I have listened to it every Christmas for the last 12 years and I know all the songs by heart. But this year, it was different. As Breath of Heaven started to play, and I started to sing along, tears started coming, "This is my prayer." The Lord knows what an amazing journey He has for me, He chose me to be Nichole's mom, and for that I am deeply thankful.

Breath of Heaven (Ellen's song)

I have traveled, on a selfish life

Now I am weary, with a babe with Downs

So I wonder, what good I've done

Holy Father, you have come, and chosen me now

to love on Nichole

I am waiting, in a silent prayer

I am frightened, by the load I bear

In a world as cold as stone

Must I walk this path alone

Be with me now, be with me now

Breath of Heaven, hold me together

Be forever near me, breath of heaven

Breath of heaven, lighten my anxiousness

Pour over me your holiness, for you are holy

Breath of heaven

Do you wonder

As you watch my faith

If a wiser one, should have had my place

But I offer all I am

For the richness of your plan

Help me be strong, help me

Isaiah 41 :13 says "For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, 'Do not fear; I will help you."

I offer all that I am, and I am certain that the Lord will be with me, He is my help. What a comfort to know that the Lord holds me by my right hand.
