Beauty In The World

I wish I could protect Madeline from all the harmful things that take place in this world. Sometimes I  worry about what this world holds for her as she grows up. The other night at our small group bible study we were making our prayer list and there are so many sick children put on the list and watching the catastropic oil spill in the gulf makes me sick to my stomach. Casey sent us an email yesterday and said one of the children we have been praying for went to be with with our father in heaven. My heart broke for that family and I felt overwhelming sadness. I looked over at Madeline sleeping in her swing and thaked God for a healthy baby girl. I hope and pray that Ben and I are here long enough to see Madeline experience the love you feel for your own child one day.

I was on the internet today and heard a song by Macy Gray and it put a smile on my face and it made me very happy!   Madeline and I danced to it together, lulu joined in on the action too.
Listen to the song here

Gotta go! Sleeping Beauty is waking up. I love being a mother!!!!


Macy Gray - Beauty In The World Lyrics




I know you’re fed up

Like a lead up for us

All they talk about is

What is going down?

What’s been messed up for us?

When I look around I see blue skies

I see butterflies for us



Listen to the sound and lose it

Its sweet music and dance with me

There is beauty in the world

So much beauty in the world

Always beauty in the world

So much beauty in the world

Shake your booty boys and girls for the beauty in the world

Pick your diamond pick your pearl there is beauty in the world

All together now



We need more lovin’

We need more money, they say

Change is gonna come

Like the weather

They say forever

They say

When they’re in between

Notice the blue skies

Notice the butterflies

Notice me



Stop and smell the flowers

And lose it the sweet music and dance with me

There is beauty in the world

So much beauty in the world

Always beauty in the world

There is beauty in the world

Shake your booty boys and girls for the beauty in the world

Pick your diamond pick your pearl there is beauty in the world

All together now



Heya throw your hands up and holla

Throw your hands up and holla

When you don’t know what to do

Don’t know if you’ll make it through

Remember god is giving you beauty in the world

So love (Beauty in the world)

Yeah love (Beauty in the world)



There is beauty in the world (Beauty in the world)

Beauty in the world (Beauty in the world)

Shake your booty boys and girls (Boys and Girls)

All the beauty in the world (Beauty in the world)

Pick your diamond pick your pearl (Pick your pearl)

There is beauty in the world (Beauty in the world)

All together now

Yeah love

Yeah love

Oh love

All together now



Hey baby when I’m looking at you

I know it’s fact is true

There is hope for love

There is beauty in the world

Hey baby

Hey baby when I’m looking at you

I know this vibe is true

There’s love

There’s hope for love

There’s beauty in the world
