Today was a very trying day for me physically and emotionally...I am 4 days post-mastectomy and my daughter went in for a double jaw surgery this morning...talk about major "no control" in your life!

In my total mess, I know who holds me... even with all the feelings that I feel, I know who loves me. When we feel like our life is "out of control", we try to find something that we can control...but we must be ever so careful in how we exert that need to control. I must remember to always act accordingly and appropriately, but it's, oh, so hard at times. O Lord, in my challenging times, help me to be like you. This is the theme of my song, "Love Like You", which is from my summer-released album, "BEAUTIFUL". How uncanny are the songs from this album as I walk the journey that I now walk...

So thankful for your prayers, your gifts of hospitality and the like...I appreciate y'all so much...more than you'll ever know.

Now before I lay me down to sleep, I got to hear the voice of my hospitalized girl...my heart is grateful...my heart is joyful...my heart is full. Heart smiles, I call 'em. A blessed night, my friends...
