As I was crying like a baby in my car last night on the way home from a movie with my son; an Addison Road song came on called “Hope Now.” Needless to say, the tears certainly did not stop; in fact they got much worse. Conviction and dishonor rolled over me like a guilty wave. I have been so wrong and yet my merciful God gave me a gentle glimpse into why things have played out the way they have.
Though I feel so broken down and out of control, God is showing me that HE is the one walking me through it. Without Him, I am nothing! This song spoke to my heart more that I thought it could. Maybe it will speak to yours today as well.
Hope Now
If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of
When I call out Your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm Yours
I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok and
Make it through the rain
You are my shelter from the storm
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
I am not my own
I've been carried by you all my life
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
You've become my heart’s desire
I will sing Your praises higher
Cause Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of
When I call out Your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm Yours
I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok and
Make it through the rain
You are my shelter from the storm
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
I am not my own
I've been carried by you all my life
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
You've become my heart’s desire
I will sing Your praises higher
Cause Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
Also, if you could keep me in prayer I would really appreciate it. As you can see from the picture below I am already showing. This is not because I am farther along that I though; it’s because I have an umbilical hernia that has grown much larger since my last pregnancy. (Honestly, I’m quite embarrassed that I’m showing so soon even though I showed quickly last time) Since growing it has also become a little more painful than before. So please pray that is stays manageable through this pregnancy. Thank you and I hope you all have a blessed week!

thinking good thoughts and sending prayers and hugs to you sweet friend.
Sending love and prayers your way dear!
I have been out of touch with the blogging world since last week since I had Brooks but I must have missed you were pregnant. CONGRATULATIONS. I'll have to go back and see if I missed the post. I will keep you in my prayers.
Hello Blogging Friend! I am totally going to commit your pregnancy to prayer and I promise to pray that the Lord will wrap His loving arms around you and you will be ok! My Husband and I are desperately trying to have a baby and the scare that my Endometriosis could return at any point, causes me to worry every single day that we will not be able to conceive. I am in chronic daily pain most days but it is when we are in need of strength the most that we realize how truly amazing our God is! We do not need to worry! The Bible teaches us not to worry! So we must trust in the Lord and in His ability to provide for us and for our families. I will fervently be praying for you my sweet friend and I hope that you know that you've got a friend in me!
Praying for you,

Ok wow I have NO idea why my post is posted multiple times! Sorry about that!
oh yes you definitely are showing ;) I thought so yesterday but it was hard to tell with your clothes. I'll be praying the pain and other issues with it cease!
xo.
I'm so sorry you are having a rough time.
Don't be embarrassed at all... that is a GORGEOUS baby bump. You look like you're a pretty tiny gal anyway so you'll, of course, show a lot sooner. I showed really quick with my second and with my 3rd, by 6 weeks I felt like I had to walk around telling everyone I was pregnant or else they would think I was fat.
Wear it proud. It's such a gift. I will keep you in my prayers. ;)
I will definitely keep you in my prayers. I have never heard of that before, but I will be praying for a healthy pregnany and no pain! How far along are you?
yay! cute bump! sorry your having pain with it though!
I'm praying that your pain goes away both physically and emotionally!
If there is anything I can do just let me know!
Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way.
i'm sorry you are having to go through all of that! I will definitely be praying for you! and you look so cute, don't let showing early worry you at all cute mama! (i showed early too especially with my second so i know what you mean, but your bump (and you) is adorable, so no worrying about it=))
Aww Lyr I'm sorry you have to go through that. I will def. be praying for you! Also, are you in a Bible study or anything? If not, it's something to consider, it's encouraging to be able to confide with a few gals who can pray with you. If you ever need anyone to talk too let me know!
Your definitely in my prayers Lyryn. Keep us updated.
Yes, with Jesus, we are never alone.
I'll be praying for you!!
Lots of prayers that you start feeling better and your pregnancy goes smoothly. Your little bump is so cute and nothing to be ashamed about, no matter how soon your showing!!
sending you hugs and prayers!
oh goodness, i hope that everything starts to look up soon... i will certainly keep you in my prayers, for both your mental and physical health! God is so good and He will provide all that you need, my friend! sending lots of love your way from Dallas!
