Mourning


My life is poured out like water, 
and all of my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax, 
melting within me.
My strength has dried up like
sunbaked clay.
My tongue sticks to the roof of my
mouth.
You have laid me in the dust
and left me for dead. 
Psalm 22:14-15

Psalm 13
    1  † How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 
    2  How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? 
    3  Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; 
    4  Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 
    5  But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. 
    6  I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. 

I love David. He gets me. Even over 3000 years ago his hurts and loves and frustrations and relationship with our God are so similar.

Happy Birthday Miles. Thank you God for making him and giving us the privilege to know such a sweet baby boy. Please let his life and the experiences we've faced because of it shape us into better Christians.

Loving you,

Nicole
