tonight

it's nighttime; our house is quiet. exactly 8 hours since i found out the news from the ultrasound. as i tucked jordan in and prayed with him tonight i read the lyrics to a song that are painted on a canvas above his bed. it's something that john piper wrote about on a blog awhile back; he prays this over his daughter while tucking her in; so i loved it and wanted to paint it for jordan. anyway, the words comforted me in a very sweet way tonight.

Come rest your head and nestle gently,
And do not fear the dark of night.
Almighty God keeps watch intently,
And guards your life with all his might.
Doubt not his love, nor power to keep,
He never fails, nor does he sleep.

thanks for the prayers and support,
tara
