Karen Peck & New River - Four Days Late

The news came to Jesus, Please come fast
Lazarus is sick and without your help he will not last
Mary and Martha watched their brother die
They waited for Jesus, He did not come
And they wondered why.

The death watch was over, Buried four days
Somebody said He'll soon be here, the Lord's on His way
Martha ran to Him and then she cried
Lord if you had been here You could have healed him
He'd still be alive

But You're four days late And all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why you've waited so long
But His way is God's way Not yours or mine
When He's four days late
He's still on time

Jesus said Martha show me the grave, But she said Lord
You don't understand He's been there four days
The grave stone was rolled back, Then Jesus cried
Lazarus come forth then somebody said
He's alive, He's alive

But You're four days late And all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why you've waited so long
But His way is God's way Not yours or mine
When He's four days late
He's still on time

You may be fighting a battle of fear
You've cried to the Lord I need You now
But he has not appeared.
Friend don't be discouraged
Cause He's still the same
He'll soon be here He'll roll back the stone
And He'll call out your name

But You're four days late And all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why you've waited so long
But His way is God's way Not yours or mine
When He's four days late He's still on time


UPDATE--  Got the job!!! Woo Hoo Thank you Lord!!

Sweet Prayer

Dear Addilyn,
         Every night we pray before we tell the "Free (3) Bears" and "Free Pigs".  It's so sweet to hear you thank God for everything you did that day.  Last night at church was Senior night.  We were honoring the senior graduates (your cousin Ryano is graduating which is crazy to me..he should still be a 7th grader it seems) and we had a little finger foods potluck over at the gym after services.  Each graduate had a table decorated.  You kids were running and hiding under the tables.  Anyways, last night your prayer went like this.....

"Dear God, dank you dis day.  Dank you watch Diego. Dank you watch moobies. Dank you go to chuch. Dank you run fast. Dank you hide unda tables. Aaaaa-meeeeeen."

So sweet!  Momma is so proud of you.  I hope you always thank God for everything in your blessed life.

                                                         I love you, Momma

Grace


"There will be grace, grace to make it through this trial,
There will strength, strength to walk another mile,
There will be hope when I've done all I can,
I'm glad to know, it's in the Saviour's hands."

Your 1st Prayer

Dear Addilyn,  You are 3 years and 4 months old.  I always say the prayer with you when we are going to sleep.  Last night, I asked if you could say the prayer and you did.  Ahhh, it was so sweet.  I'm smiling now just typing this.  You said "thank you for church" and many other things.  How sweet!!  You are growing up so fast and it just amazes me at what all you know and understand.  When you were a baby, I would have to walk in circles around the house bouncing you for hours to get you to sleep.  Now, we just gather your pink blankie, green blankie, blue blankie, and other pink blankie and go lay down to tell stories and pray.  Sometimes we have to have your cat, elephant, penguin, baby dog, and duck in the bed too...but thats ok.  I love you baby girl!!       - Momma

(PS. On a sad note- We have lost 2 chickens and our rooster "Ryan Mallet" recently...thanks to the neighbor's dogs and a raccoon)

Peeing On Daddy

Dear Addilyn,  For the record because I know you'll enjoy reading this one day.....
Yesterday morning Daddy was rocking you.  All of the sudden he said "Addilyn, did you pee on me?" And you said in your sweet little voice "Yes".  Daddy had to go take a shower.  Good times.....

We had a White Christmas....I took lots of pictures that I will hopefully get uploaded soon.  You received many gifts from everyone....a pink dune buggy, a four wheeler, a tent, princess book, a new coat, a Lalaloopsy mermaid doll, a back pack, princess lunch box, a Dora the Explorer car, and $20 and other stuff I'm probably forgetting.  Our electricity went out Christmas night so we had to stay with Papa and Mawmaw for a few days.  Friday night Samuel spent the night with us and you woke up burning up with fever.  Made two trips out to Primecare to find out you have a double ear infection AND the nurse thinks your tonsils are growing back.  Great.  Anyways.....long story short...with the electricity going out and us not having any heat your Daddy and began making plans to build a house with a wood stove!!  That night when you were so sick I realized that my plans aren't God's plans....and I need to wait on God.  What if I need to quit work to stay home with you?  I could do that now (even though you love school) but if we built a house I couldn't.  So, my goal for 2013 is to be thankful for what we have, content, and appreciative.  My desire is for us one day to have a house, but until God makes a way, I won't push it.  Last night we had testimony service at church and I was reminded to just wait on God's timing.  Toni and Erin sang "Did I Mention".  The song says "when there seems to be no way, He made a way".  God will make a way....I'm going to start praying diligently for God's will in our lives.  Momma has to do some work....love you!  - Momma

The Eve of School

Dear Addilyn,
It's 10:56pm on Sunday night before the first day of school.  My emotions are strong.  Much better than this time last year because you were about to go to daycare for the very first time.  I was a nervous wreck. But now it's a year later and I know you enjoy school and my only worry is you biting other kids!!  Please stop that!  However, tonight I'm sad for another reason.........I miss your cousins.  We got to see them Saturday while we were fishing but not for long.  My heart aches to spend time with them.  I don't really know how to put it into words so I'll not even attempt but God knows.....  I always (well except for when you fall alseep watching Barnyard as of late) sing "What A Day That Will Be" to you while you fall asleep.

"There is coming day.  When no heartaches shall come.  No more clouds in the sky.  No more tears to dim the eye.  All is peace, forever more, on that happy, golden shore.  What a day, glorious day, that will be."

Then it says.....

"There'll be no sorrow there.  No more burdens to bear.  No more sickness no pain.  No more parting over there.  And forever I will be, with the One who died for me.  What a day, glorious day, that will be.
What a day that will be.  When my Jesus I shall see.  And Iook upon His face.  The One who saved me by His grace.  When He takes me by the hand.  And leads me through the promise land.  What a day, glorious day, that will be."

Sometimes when I sing this I think about fiances......I won't have to worry about finances anymore.  No more credit card bills, or doctor bills.  Sometimes I've thought about sickness and surgeries.  You and I have both had surgery this year.  There'll be no iv's or recovery rooms in Heaven.  Sometimes I just think about strolling down the street of gold...no alarm clark, no schedule, no waiting for 5 o'clock to get here so I can rush home to see you........but tonight when I was singing I had another burden on my mind.  Three actually.  :)  I long for that day when we can lay those burdens at the foot of Jesus, worship Him, and stroll down the golden avenue.  I think about Preacher Teel.  One time I heard that he said when he gets to Heaven he wants to sit down on a hillside with Jesus and talk.  How simple.  How humbling.  How totally "burden lifting" would/will that be........to hunker down on a hillside and talk with the Almighty.  I can't wait.  And you know what?  We'll be there for eternity!!!!!  Forever and ever.  No more feeling like it's the night before school starts and I didn't even get to do this or that.  No more Mondays....everyday a weekend.  I don't think the Bible says that but that's what it will feel like to me.  I feel better already!  I guess I will lay down next to you now and try to get some sleep.  Tomorrow is the first day of school......
                                                              Love you, Momma

UPDATE....Preacher Teel, age 95, a man of God, passed away on October 23, 2012.  I attended his funeral last Friday.  I kept thinking about him sitting on that hillside talking with Jesus.  Made me cry and smile at the same time.

God Always Provides!!

Dear Addilyn,  Your Momma has been anxious all day because of a financial situation.  Not that you know what that is and I hope you don't for a long long time.  Anyways, my friend and I were talking at work about payday not being till Tuesday and today is Friday.  I sent your aunt Kimmy a text and told her I was going to have a yardsale tomorrow.  I figured I could just put a sign in our yard and hopefully sale a few things.  She said not to because it's suppose to rain.  Well, your Daddy just sent a text and said I got a check in the mail for $150 from my Dr.'s office for an overpayment.  Woo Hoo!!  God always provides when you put Him first.  He is faithful!! 

"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."  Malachi 3:10 KJV

Thankful/Perspective

Dear Addilyn, Today my eyes fill up with tears because I'm so thankful you are healthly.  My heart is so heavy for little Stella Mulhearn.  Lat night I cried myselft to sleep praying for her and feeling guilty for taking you for granted.  You were kicking the wall, flopping around, fighting sleep while wearing your new pink "min mouse" night night clothes and I just kept thinking about what Stella's momma would give to have her sweet baby at home.  I don't personally know this family but I ache for them...you and Stella are both 2..I can't imagine the pain of what they are going through.  There are so many things I could write but basically I just want to say "I love you, I'm thankful for you, and I'm going to do a better job as a momma to enjoy each and every moment we have together."   Praying for Stella......

Praying for Cambelle

Dear Addilyn, Tonight we are praying for Cambelle.  She is your little 2 yr old friend from church.  Me and her Momma went to school and graduated together.  She hasn't been feeling good for a week now and tonight is her second night in Children's Hospital.  Tomorrow she is having more test and will probably be diagnosed.  Honestly I am scared to death.  I know that God is in control no matter what.  It's just so hard when little ones are sick.  I pray that tomorrow night we have good news from little Cambelle.  She is so beautiful and we need to see her big blue eyes open back up. 

                                               Love you, Momma
