Chris Tomlin

Cary and I went to Tampa yesterday with a bunch of our kids, to see Chris Tomlin in concert. It was a wonderful day with the kids and a great concert. The last time we saw him, he was at our church and Josh and Jen were there too. And, in fact, a year ago at this time Cary and I were in the Holy Land! We've talked about that so much in the last few days. It really was a life changing trip. I had lunch with a friend this week. She was sharing with me that she really feels like there is nothing that could happen in this life that would cause her to turn from the Lord...He IS all we have, guaranteed. I had to echo that. I thought about that conversation when Chris was singing "all my hope is in you" last night. Everything and everyone has, or will let me down. Disappointments come, life happens. But, He is ALWAYS there for me, the only place I have to put my hope. Joshua 1:9 has run through my head on a regular basis lately, mom's favorite verse. "I will NEVER leave you or forsake you." He's always there, sending a scripture through my head, or even a song, just letting me know we're in this together!
