So it's way past my bedtime, and I still haven't finished my playlist for tomorrow's 'Discovery Space Conference' (oh it's going to be hilarious) & my kitchen is an absolute mess from the 60 something star shaped cookies i made for my kidlies... BUT...
I just stumbled upon this song (again) as I was going through my itunes & thought I should share it
So true. Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord.
Such a timely reminder...

One Sunday in May
Today when I went shopping I didn't expect to be met with the news that a kid I used to babysit died this morning. This kid is now 18. He graduated from the school I work at last year. He was a sweet kid. He hit a power pole on his way home from work at 4.30 this morning.
I am devastated for his mum. He was her whole world.
I am sad for the dreams he never got to realise.
I am nervous for tomorrow. This is going to hit our school community pretty bad.
I am amazed at the impact this kid had.
I am overwhelmed by the speed of communication these days. Someone set up a "RIP" site for him 4 hours ago and already there are over 600 'likes'.
I am shocked at how a life can be summarised in a police report. It is also a horrible reminder of the weight and pain behind each report that I see.
I am trusting in a God who is good. I don't have the answers, but He does.
Pray for his mum & for our school this week. It's going to be a hard week.

Emotion
Today was an emotional sort of day...
I hung out with one of my most favourite friends for a bit. This week she lost a baby. That sentence carries so much weight and heaviness of heart. 'she lost a baby' does not do justice to the emotion of the week. Although it is not my story and I cannot fathom the depths of pain her and her husband have been through, it saddens me so much to see my friends go through this.
When did I get old enough to have friends who have ectopic pregnancies?
After eating doughnuts and pizza (hehehe) I went to a baby shower for a friend from work. It was sort of awkward celebrating life after mourning a death. Boy the emotions in my head today!
It was a beautiful baby shower. Soooo much pink! (and way too many jaffas...mmm) I can't wait to meet the blonde, blue eyed baby (she hasn't got much hope of being anything else :)). There were even those 4D ultrasound pictures of her on display. Oh she is going to be gorgeous & has such cute pouty lips!
Of course I got super clucky looking at all the tiny onesies and cute socks. Mawww I seriously don't think anything beats the feeling of holding a baby in your arms. Which in turn made my heart break all the more for the afore mentioned friend.
Sometimes this world doesn't make sense.
