Another Great Song!

Are you getting tired of my song-sharing yet?  I hope not, because the songs I share are so important to me.  God speaks to me through music!

A few weeks ago, Matt preached at church.  The Friday before, he was sharing the verses he was doing and it was very much about struggling and how God meets you where you are.  I asked if he was going to talk about Abby and he said he didn't think he was ready.  I told him that he either needed to get ready or save this sermon for when he is, because these are the verses to use!

Well, as you know if you were there, Matt did it!  He even shared our conversation.  :)  I have never been more proud of my husband than that day.  He allowed God to use his brokenness and transparency to minister to others, and it was beautiful.  He definitely made me cry....but then again, that's not so hard to do!  :)  It was certainly an encouragement to Matt to hear from so many that they appreciated his words, because making yourself vulnerable is always a little scary. 

Anyway, this is the song that he shared at the end.  He didn't have someone sing it as he would have liked (it was a rather last-minute decision to switch it up like this, and it's not a well-known song to begin with!), but he read an excerpt from it.  It's a pretty great one!  Matt Papa shares a little of his story in the beginning.  I like his transparency too.

How true Jeremy's song is about trusting God. It sure does take alot of faith! Love the recent pictures of Abby and Caleb. I think Abby resembles her grandpa Schenk alot. Thinking about you all.

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it ...

Bath Time Photos!!

As promised, here are lots of photos of Abby's first bath. Caleb was supposed to be in bed, but the bathroom is right next to his room... "I'm not too sure about this..." Once she learned how to splash, she was all smiles! Her first good hair wash! Gotta protect the trach! She really liked getting water poured on her head.  It was cute! Smiley (and bubbly) for Daddy while he dried her off. All clean!!  (Note the Lysol wipes in that last picture.  They are NEVER far away!)

Imagination Movers Photo Recap

Seriously, The Imagination Movers were so much fun!  They played lots of their own music, with some classic rock mixed in for the adults.  There were also quite a few jokes and references to Baltimore, which was kind of fun.   The whole night centered around this robot named Rock-o-Matic, or "Rocko."   This is Mover Scott, and he wears Wobble Goggles that help him see new ideas.  Caleb and Abby have a pair of goggles too.  :) There are 4 main Movers that are part of the TV show, but they have 2 extra movers to play instruments and do back-up vocals in their live tour. Abby finished up her feed before the show started so that she would be free to dance! My dancing queen did NOT want to sit in my lap.  The row in front of us was empty, and that is where she stood almost the entire show--dancing the night away. My Imagination Movers  Caleb did his share of singing and dancing too.  He knows m...
