you are my hope - your promise never fails me

our friend elizabeth passed away last night...her husband said it was right that she would pass away on the first day of spring - he reminded us that she was ushered into glory...

i'm reminded even more today that God wants me to follow him, he's asking me to set my net out...i need to trust him, and not focus on the cost...

when we picked the worship songs for this week's set @ HBC we didn't know that Elizabeth would pass the same week - but after practicing Monday night, the first thoughts that came to my mind after hearing of her death Wednesday morning were the lyrics from Good to Me - they came right to my mind...we'll start the set by singing "Trading my Sorrows" - it'll be great to sing that we can trade our sickness and that God is good...and then sing "Good to Me" and How Great is Our God" - and then close things by singing "The Heart of Worship" - this set is so appropriate in light of Elizabeth's death...her two year old and six month old boy's can't sing these praises yet - but I hope some day they truly can...

You Are my Hope! Your promise never fails me! And my desire is to follow you forever...for you are good, for you are good, for your are good to me - yes you are good...
