Song and Verse

Lately, I have been clinging to this Bible verse that really calms my heart and lets me know that GOD is in control, not me.


Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
 
I feel extremely blessed that I serve a God that gives me the perfect verses at the perfect time and ensures me that I do not have to stand on my own! :)

This song hasn't really calmed my heart or anything, but it's very true in my life, catchy, and fun to listen to :) 
"I just have met you yet" by Michael Buble

I'm not surprised, not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times, I stopped keeping track
Talk myself in, I talk myself out
I get all worked up, then I let myself down

I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility

And I know someday that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, that I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

I might have to wait, I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing, and the other half's luck
Wherever you are, whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing
And, baby, your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

And somehow I know that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

They say all's fair
In love and war
But I won't need to fight it
We'll get it right and we'll be united

And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me
And now I can see every single possibility

And someday I know it'll all turn out
And I'll work to work it out
Promise you, kid, I'll give more than I get
Than I get, than I get, than I get

Grandma

My grandmother passed away yesterday evening.  My Aunt Jane wrote this:

"Ruth Lehman was born in Bowie, Maryland on November 19, 1915.  She was a
devout member of the Bowie Methodist Church and a Worthy Matron of the
Eastern Star.   The church and parsonage were built by her father, Millard
Nathaniel Schafer.  Ruth retired after many years of service with the Bank
of Bowie.  Ruth is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Grayson Edward
Lehman and enjoyed 59 years of marriage.  She is survived by her son and
daughter-in-law Gary Grayson Lehman and Elizabeth Jean Lehman of Orlando
and her daughter and son-in-law Jane Lehman Wood and David Wood of Houston,
Texas, along with 4 grandchildren, Mark, Jonathan, Ben and Bethany  and
great grand daughter, Katelynn Grace."

She lived a long, great life.  She was a fantastic grandmother and I have very fond memories.  She is better and happy now.
