Meet #1 Man in my Life!

Meet Forrest Wesley Cory IV, my nephew, born January 22nd at 8:39am, 8lbs 2ozs, 20 3/4" long. I am now Aunt Lolo. ;)

It's amazing how much I loved him before I even met him, before he was even born. Now that he is actually here, my love for him has multiplied tremendously! I would do anything for this little man! I can't even imagine the love I would have for a child of my own - I can't wait to be a mother one day!

Hope's Anthem

A friend of mine recently gave me a worship mix cd with a bunch of great worship songs. This song, Hope's Anthem, was one of them. Such a great song!

Verse 1
He's awakening the hope in me
By calling forth my destiny
He's breathing life
Into my soul
I will thirst for
Him and Him alone
Pre Chorus
He has come like the rain
That showers on the barren plain
So my heart and tongue confess
Jesus, Christ the Hope of man
Chorus
My hope is in you, God
I am steadfast
I will not be moved
I'm anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You

God of Angel Armies

I just bought Chris Tomlin's latest CD "Burning Lights" last week. Chris Tomlin is my favorite music artist of all time. His worship songs and lyrics are some of the most powerful expressions of my sentiments to my God in times of great joy, grief, depression, or any situation really. I am super stoked to be finally seeing him live in concert in Baltimore next month with three lovely ladies from WEC. I don't even think the word "stoked" expresses the intensity of my excitement. I am going to be listening to his new CD, Burning Lights, constantly from now until the concert so I can sing along to all the songs! Here is his hit single off his latest CD called "Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies)." Enjoy!

"I know Who goes before me

I know Who stands behind

The God of angel armies

Is always on my side

The One who reigns forever

He is a Friend of mine

The God of angel armies

Is always by my side"

Breathe Death to Life

Passion 2013 is going on right now from January 1-4 in Atlanta. Passion Conferences are more than just conferences. Passion is a movement raising up college-aged kids across the nation to spread the fame of Jesus Christ around the globe. I was watching the first main session tonight live online here (http://livelink.268generation.com/). The passage that Louie Giglio used in his message was the story of the Valley of Dry Bones in Ezekiel 37, when God breathes life into the dry bones. As I enter into 2013, this is a great theme passage for my life. I believe in a God that can breathe life into death, breathe life into addictions, breathe life into brokenness, breath life into depression. I believe it, and I will declare it over my life in 2013.
