Somewhere in the World Today

When Matthew was 2 years old, a friend gave me a cassette tape with this song by Wayne Watson on it. That was many years ago, however, it has been my prayer for both Matthew and Andrew. I love this song and I know that somewhere out there the Lord has a special young lady in mind for both of my boys.

Somewhere in the world today

A little girl will go out to play

All dressed up in mama's clothes

At least the way that I suppose it goes

Somewhere in the world tonight

Before she reaches to turn out the light

She'll be prayin' from a tender heart

A simple prayer that's a work of art

And I don't even know her name

But I'm prayin' for her just the same

That the Lord will write His name upon her heart

Cause somewhere in the course of this life

My little boy will need a godly wife

So hold on to Jesus, baby, wherever you are

Somewhere in the world out there

That little girl's learnin' how to care

She's pickin' up her mamas charms

Or maybe, swigin' around in her daddy's arms

Somewhere in the world to be

Through the future's not real clear to me

Theirs could be a tender love

Rounded in eternal love above.

And I don't even know her name

But I'm prayin' for her just the same

That the Lord will write His name upon her heart

Cause somewhere in the course of this life

My little boy will need a godly wife

So hold on to Jesus, baby, wherever you are.

Back to School

Next Monday my children will be starting a new school year. Matthew will be in 12th grade and Andrew in 6th. This is an exciting time at our house. Buying school supplies, ordering curriculum, and the excitement of new things to learn. For Matthew, this is the end of his homeschool years. When we started this journey, I had no idea it would go so quickly. It has been an adventure for all of us! I feel very blessed that I have been able to have my children here with me all of these years. I am truly thankful that I have had the opportunity to spend my days with these two amazing young men.
