You Chose To Be My Friend

SO...my birthday isn't actually til' next Saturday but THE CRABB FAMILY happened to be in town just the weekend before! I'm okay with that! :) Wouldn't have wanted to miss it...Jason, Adam, Kelly and Terah were there minus Aaron! They did an awesome job (as usual) and you'd never know they'd ever stopped singing together as a group! They are my favorite southern gospel group around...even though they've all gone on to do separate things I still enjoy each and every one of them and it was good to see them back together again! I was able to get some great pictures and videos and posted below is a video I recorded of an older song of the Crabbs (You Chose To Be My Friend) but not yet released onto any of Jason's albums. I'm pretty sure he said it would be on his next album though! :) It is absolutely one of my favorite songs...think probably my favorite of the night...so hard to decide!




Words and Music by Gerald Crabb
Verse I
You were there for me through it all, when everyone around said that I would fall
You were my friend, you believed in me,
Through the good times and the bad
At times I felt that like You were all I had
You were my friend and You believed in me

Chorus
So You went the extra mile, to prove your love was true
You held out your hands, as they drove the nails in You
When You could have walked away, and turned your back to all my sins
But For me You gave your life Jesus, You chose to be my friend

Verse II
Often like a child so full of fear, you stood by my side and held me near
You were my friend, You believed in me
When my faith grew weak and my strength seemed gone
You took me by the hand and you held me on
You were my friend, You believed in me

Trisomy 13 - Dignity and Grace in Life and Death

On September 14, 2001 Andrew and I found out we were expecting our 3rd baby. We had done this twice before and I was not that concerned or anxious to get to the Dr. right away. We were very excited even though we had not actually "tried" to conceive. We had also decided we would keep it a secret as long as possible! :) Love to keep a good secret! On October 31st we had our first ultrasound and discovered that our baby had markers for a chromosomal disorder as well as tachycardia. Devastated at hearing this we shed lots of tears and I experienced a lot of worry, anger, and fear at what lied ahead of us. I prayed many times that if the Lord was going to give us a baby that would not live that He would just go ahead and take it from us right then. On November 23rd, I began spotting and cramping but since it was Thanksgiving weekend we waited til the following Monday to go to the Dr. where we found out that there was no heart beat and our baby was resting safely in the arms of Je

Thanksgiving at Dollywood

We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving in the Smokey Mountains! Hopefully good memories our children will cherish when they are grown. We managed to pull off cooking dinner in about a 4x5 foot space called the kitchen! It all turned out and everything was delicious! The kids shot some hoops and Bryson had a good ol' time just running around and picking up leaves while we waited for the Turkey to get done. Later that evening after Bryson was in bed we played a game of Cranium. The front desk had games that you could check out. Definitely not a game I would care to play again! The day after Thanksgiving we headed over to Dollywood. The weather was gorgeous and could not have been more perfect. Bryson was in awe at all the lights when it started to get dark. I think the first time ever he has actually sat in his stroller for a whole day without fussing to get out. There was lots to look at and it kept him busy thank goodness. After that we headed back to our condo to e
