As we are nearing Gavin's 1/2 year mark, I am constantly reminded of the journey we have walked. A journey sprinkled with tears & smiles, fear & hope, loneliness & support. Every step of the journey we were never alone. Listening to the radio this morning, this Matt Redman song came on, and I have decided it is our Battle Cry.
God - you are faithful.
Never Once - Matt Redman
Standing on this mountaintop
Looking just how far we’ve come
Knowing that for every step
You were with us
Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in us
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in us
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Carried by Your constant grace
Held within Your perfect peace
Never once, no, we never walk alone
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Every step we are breathing in Your grace
Evermore we’ll be breathing out Your praise
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Gavin - you are my miracle baby. You exceeded the expectations of all of the nurses and doctors. You are our fighter, our little spit-fire baby. You have the sweetest smile and the loudest voice. We all have a purpose in this life, and I know your (first) purpose was to strengthen your mommy's faith. Someday I'll share that journey. It is too raw, too emotional right now. But someday. It is a story that needs to be told. If not for myself, but so Gavin can see the Lord's faithfulness in his life from day one.
