Unredeemed

Have you heard this song by Selah?!! I love it!! Here are the lyrics:

The cruelest world
The coldest heart
The deepest wound
The endless dark
The lonely ache
The burning tears
The bitter nights
The wasted years

Life breaks and falls apart
But we know these are
Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
It may be unfulfilled
It may be unrestored
But when anything that's shattered is laid before the lord
Just watch and see
It will not be unredeemed

For every choice that led to shame
And all the love that never came
For every vow that someone broke
And every lie that gave up hope
We live in the shadow of the fall
But the cross says these are all
Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
It may be unfulfilled
It may be unrestored
But when anything that's shattered is laid before the lord
Just watch and see
It will not be unredeemed

Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
It may be unfulfilled
It may be unrestored
But you never know the miracle the father has in store
Just watch and see
It will not be
Just watch and see
It will not be unredeemed

The words are so true, and divinely inspired. I am here to tell you that my Lord is good! And so faithful. I am not the best blogger, although I want to be better. I was just reading through some old posts, reviewing prayer requests, and almost crying to see the Lord answer them! I asked for you pray for good girl friends, well I am in the best small group with girls from church. It has just been awesome over the summer, and now the fall we are still all together. There are 5 of us total, a resident, a nurse from MD Anderson, and accountant from MD Anderson. What a blessing to have Jaime the resident to bounce things off of regarding my mom, and Jalen the oncology nurse to reassure me!! And Patricia the accountant keeps me laughing. The Lord has used them so much this summer. I can't wait to see what the Lord brings us through this fall :)
I am loving my job more and more. I am feeling more accepted, and building a raport with the physicians and practioners. I am even looking to go to NNP school. Our medical director has convinced me that I would be good at it! We will see.
I love love Houston!!! I haven't had a peace about living somewhere in a long time, but I am supposed to be here! The people are so diverse, there is great places to eat (I have become a foodie!) The Lord is so good to give me the peace about living here for a while. I absolutely love my church, love my job, and love the people God is bringing into my life!
One more exciting thing is that I get to lead young moms and moms to be through parenting classes. A Christian maternity house here in Houston came to speak at church about a month or so ago, and the Lord just prompted me to go talk to the director about mentoring or teaching something for the girls. We start in Nov, and Anthony wants to do teaching all year next year!!!!! I am SO excited!! I have such a heart for young moms and can't wait to share with them what the Father has in store for them and to see them with their babies. I will keep you updated on how this goes! Pray for open hearts, including mine!
I hope you are doing well! I will try to keep this more updated :)
