Carried in His Arms

Well Wednesday was my high school christmas band concert. It was super big too because I had a ton of solos. Over all it went great but I just want to give you a glimpse as to how I got through the night.

First off I thought it I went home to practice my solos a bit that my lips would be fine for the concert. Well was I wrong. It came time to play and after the first song I could feel my lips becoming tired. By the third song I was done for. I tried fluttering my lips but it helped very little. Then I remembered the saying on the front of my new bible case. It says " The Lord said: My precious child; I never left you during your time of trial. Where you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." I asked the Lord in the middle of my concert to please carry me. And just as He always does. He came through. The concert turned out a success and everyone is still talking about how good my solos were :)

Thank you Jesus for grace and for your strength to carry me in my time of trial.

Blessings,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while :( been busy!

Well last Thursday was my 16th birthday :) Very exciting! I didn't have school and I really didn't do much of anything haha......such a good birthday :)

Then Sunday was my party :) It turned out so amazing. My aunt and uncle did what in the salvation army is called a love feast which is like communion, then we each take a big enough piece of bread to share with others and give kind words. Then my aunt Martha(my godmother) said a pray for me but not before reminding everyone just how our extra special bond came to be. You see when my mom was in labor the doctors were a little slow and my aunt was the first one to hold me :) She referred to me as her angel and reminded me that she has prayed for me every step of my life :) Then my mom chose a song to played as a prayer. It's called A Living Prayer by Alison Krauss. I want to share the words of the chorus with you.

In your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me
A living prayer
My God to thee

I ask the Lord that every day. That my would be a living prayer.

I thank God for the beautiful family He has blessed me with. I am so loved :)

Thank you Lord for your Son, Jesus Christ. Who died for my sins and love me still.

Blessings,

Kathryn
