We're off...

For those of you tracking, yes, I am having a slight identity crisis over my blog look. I can't decide exactly what I want after the Christmas look, if I want something fancy or plain...bright or muted...blah, blah... :) so I have been changing all sorts of little things, eventually I'll leave it alone! changes may or may not be coming!
Saturday is the big day! We leave for Minneapolis to see my family and our friends. There are no snowstorms predicted so far, so hopefully our flights will be uneventful. We have lunch and dinner dates booked most of the week, so it is going to be a crazy week. I think we will need a vacation when we get back! We are excited to go and so thankful that Andrew was able to get his vacation time in before school starts again. And he gave up taking a very easy block course that was being offered this same week - so thank you babe! I know that was a sacrifice.
We are not 100%, but we are back to work and pretty much being able to function normally. I finally finished the laundry - it only took me 5 days to complete!
This is a song that I have learned recently and has been such an encouragement to my heart. Our God is so good in how He orchestrates everything in our lives. Our God is so much bigger than what we often see as big trials in our lives. Nothing is greater than the peace of resting in God's sovereignty.

We are a moment, You are forever.
Lord of the ages, God before time.
We are a vapor, You are eternal,
Love everlasting, reigning on high.
----------------------------
Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain.
Highest praises honor and glory,
be unto Your name.
-----------------------------
We are the broken, You are the healer.
Jesus Redeemer mighty to save.
You are the love song, we'll sing forever,
bowing before You, blessing Your name.
-----------------------------
Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain.
Highest praises honor and glory,
be unto Your name.
