This song is great ! I know that some of you may even know it, but I wanted to post the words. it is by Natalie Grant and it is titled: "In Better Hands"
It really seems to get me through many days and many defeating thoughts. I really feel like it was written for me. I forget I am in better hands. I also forget whose hands Caroline has always been in!
It's hard to stand on shifting sand.
It's hard to shine in the shadows of the night.
You can't be free if you don't reach for help.
And you can't love if you don't love yourself.
But there is hope when my faith runs out.
'Cause I'm in better hands now...........
It's like the sun is shining,
When the rain is pourin' down.
It's like my soul is flying,
Though my feet are on the ground.
So take this heart of mine.
There's no doubt,
I'm in better hands now.
(my favorite part)
*I am strong. all because of You.
I stand in awe of every mountain that you move.
I am changed. Yesterday is gone.
I am safe from this moment on.
And there's no fear when the night comes 'round.
I'm in better hands now.
It's like the sun is shining,
when the rain is pourin' down.
It's like my soul is flying.
Though my feet are on the ground.
It's like the world is silent,
Though I know it isn't true.
It's like the breath of Jesus
Is right here in this room.
So take this heart of mine,
There's no doubt,
I'm in better hands now.
You gotta hear this song to get the full message.
I made it to the store 5 minutes until closing to get this CD and all the typed words.

Wow...it sounds beautiful! I love that line, "there is hope when my faith runs out". That is sooo true! I've never heard that song before...what CD is it on?
I've been wondering how you were doing, and have prayed for you, my dear...you've been on my mind, a lot.
We had to take David to the ER...he's fine, now on antibiotics...but we spent hours in the ER, mostly waiting. That's kind of a bittersweet thing, because, ya don't like waiting, especially for hours on end. BUT...you know you could be the one back there causing the backlog, so, you're thankful that your need is minor enough to be one of the ones waiting for hours.
OKay...heading to bed....nitey nite Sweeties...xox Julie
Just to let you know...I'm praying for you, and for Caroline. As she goes through surgery today, I pray your peace throughout the entire experience, and for Caroline's tranquility as she experiences new things.
It'll be over soon...please let us know how it went as soon as you can. Love and Hugs, Julie
Hi Abbott clan,
I have been out of pocket for several weeks (my mom developed blood clots in her lungs and has had a bad, scary time). I'm back in Huntsville now and just caught up on your blog info. What precious pictures of everyone - both in New York and at Easter. Miss Carly seems her happy self and Caroline is becoming more beautiful every day. It's hard to believe she isn't perfectly healthy as beautiful as she is. I still think of you often and send prayers and best wishes to you. It looks like you are corresponding with some mothers with similar challenges. That is so great to be able to share information and encouragement. As I've said before, ya'll are doing a great job. I hope the house sells soon and you can all be together in Jacksonville. Spring starts the good selling season - my fingers are crossed for a house sale soon. Keep on keeping on - Caroline has progressed miraculously so far and I'm sure there will be much more good news and events occurring as she gets older. We love ya'll bunches.

I have to say that this is one of my favorite songs. Many mornings when I get off of work it helps get me safely home in my sleepy stupor. It's amazing how the same words can provide such comfort to those who listen in spite of their differences and needs. God truly is an amazing, awesome God...and He proves that every day!!! I love you guys!
