I have traveled
Many moonless night
Cold and weary
With a babe inside
And I wonder
What I've done
Holy Father
You have come
Chosen me now
To carry your son
I am waiting
in a silent prayer
I am frightened
by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now
Be with me now
[chorus:]
-----------------------------------
Breath of Heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me, your holyness
For your holy Breath of Heaven
-----------------------------------
Do you wonder
As you watch my face
If a wiser one, should of had my place
But I offer-all I am
For the mercy-of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me
This song is not played often enough on the radio at Christmas time, so I get excited when I do hear it! It really makes me think about the miracle of Jesus' birth and the amazement I feel at what Mary had to go through surrounds me. I tried so many times to put myself in her shoes when I was childless but the depth of my understanding has increased by leaps and bounds now that I have Calleigh. To have gone through all that with such Faith is amazing to me. I can only hope to some day have half as much faith as Mary had.
Calleigh had her check up at Children's yesterday and it went well! She is still up in the 61st percentile so we (and the doctor) are happy with her progress! The doctor said her lungs sound great and she is doing well. She is now big enough to be fitted with a vest. That means that we don't have to do her pity pats except when we travel and can't take te vest with us. The vest will take care of clearing her airways out from mucus! :)
She did have to have blood drawn for routine tests. Boo! haha But she was a champ for the first few minutes. It went downhill after that because they had to stick her a second time but that did the trick and they got what they needed. We pray all the tests come back wonderful! :)
Merry Christmas everyone, may we all remember the Reason for the Season! :)
My prayer for Calleigh: Thank you Jesus for your hand on my daughter. Thank you that she is doing well and has been gaining weight. Please continue to place your hand on her pancreas and her lungs so that she my continue to grow and do well. I pray that she has a wonderful Christmas full of learning about You. Please help her to trust her mommy and daddy when they put the vest on her - I know it will be scary the first few times. Please help her to feel your comfort as she gets used to this new phase of CF. Thank you Jesus for your love and comfort for me and Kevin during these trials. Amen.
