Song by Audrey Assad

This is an awesome song I have been listening to over and over and over.  You can hear it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miNIRE2rju0

These are the words:
The fullness of the Godhead knit with our humanity
flesh and bones sewn in the heart of God inseparably
I know, I know, and I believe You are the Lord
I know, I know, and I believe You are the Lord
Help my unbelief

Strange and sweet collision of justice and mercy
Your burden is light and Your yoke is easy
I know, I know, and I believe You are the Lord
I know, I know, and I believe You are the Lord
Help my unbelief

O happy fault that gained for me the chance to know You, Lord
To touch Your wounded side and know the joy of my reward
I know, I know, and I believe You are the Lord
I know, I know, and I believe You are the Lord
Help my unbelief

My Lord and my God
My Lord and my God
I know, I know, and I believe
I know, I know, and I believe
Help my unbelief
Help my unbelief

Hope it encourages you!

Coastal Getaway

We enjoyed a quick camping trip at Stillwater Cove for Lily's 11th birthday.  It was a sweet time together at the coast, in the Redwoods, with all the beauty of God's creation to enjoy.  We also were thrilled to be able to be together as a family before the older girls are gone for a portion of the summer.



 Can you see them?
We had a yummy birthday breakfast in the trailer--eggs, bacon, and 2 types of freshly baked croissants (dried apple, walnut, cinnamon, and chocolate chip).
 Our site as we roasted hot dogs, brats, and croissants.  There were wildflowers everywhere--including forget-me-nots!

 Lily found an abalone, but the ranger said it had been poached and she couldn't keep it...




 We stopped by Ft. Ross on the way home
