I found you completely by accident because your post title is the same as my blog title! :) I really relate to finding yourself in the place where God wants you. When I first got pregnant I fully intended to have the baby and go back to work, at least part time. God had different plans, and told me so! Of course I wasn't very happy about that, and kicked and yelled for a few months, but when the baby arrived and the decision was made, I found myself LOVING being home with him. Obedience is a blessing, isn't it? <BR/><BR/>About hymns: one of my favorites to sing to the boys is "Stand up for Jesus". We started singing it while getting my oldest son dressed - we'd tell him to stand up so we could put his clothes on and sing at the same time. Obviously your baby isn't old enough for that yet, but he will be! :)<BR/><BR/>Also, I'd suggest just working your way through a hymnal. Sing one song to your baby each day. You'll find new favorites and it will be good for both of you!Emily (Laundry and Lullabies)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03366768314814574270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275589022149602259.post-76935474553790600532008-03-11T21:21:00.000-05:002008-03-11T21:21:00.000-05:00Kelley, Baby Lawson loves it when I sing "Turn You...Kelley, Baby Lawson loves it when I sing "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus", in my off-key voice. The Newsboys redid it many years ago, so I sing that version. But it's my favorite.

I teared up as I thought about what life will be like when I'm in your shoes . . . and how thankful I am to have you in my life! <BR/><BR/>Two I know I'll sing to Bradley :) are "My Jesus, I Love Thee" and a little song my mom sang to me about Proverbs 3:5-6 (I can hum you the tune . . . very sweet!), but beyond that, who knows . . . Let me know which ones Carter likes so I can try them, too!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056233932447990678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275589022149602259.post-8608986843517959462008-02-27T10:45:00.000-06:002008-02-27T10:45:00.000-06:00This may seem a little strange, for a stranger to ...This may seem a little strange, for a stranger to comment on your blog but... I am friends with Emily Chappell and I clicked on your blof from hers. I had a baby in November and just started the blog a month ago so I love to look at other mothers blogs. Your sweet words were so encouraging I just wanted to say thank you for them. and to suggest the CD Sing Over Me. It is a soothing praise and worship CD with Bethany Dillon and Nicole Noredom (I forget how to spell her name) I love to sing over Noah and worship at the same time. Sorry if this seemed a little stalker like!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11549288381752155033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275589022149602259.post-31776946040317573862008-02-27T10:43:00.000-06:002008-02-27T10:43:00.000-06:00KBB, I love reading your posts.

Caleb also likes for me to sing simple songs like the itsy bitsy spider, rain rain go away, Jesus loves me, The wheels on the bus, old mcdonald had a farm, etc.<BR/>I hope this helps! I find myself forgetting words to songs too so alot of times, I make them up :). We also love the Praise Baby CD's which have lots of hymns in a soothing tone. We listen in the car :). Happy 4 weeks Carter!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489932276935990687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275589022149602259.post-43883034039278606432008-02-26T15:00:00.000-06:002008-02-26T15:00:00.000-06:00Kelley, What a precious precious post!

My favorite hymn he has "redone" is Power In the Blood. He is a wonderful artist and has such beautiful versions of many hymns. Another great "find" on itunes is Indelible Grace, I think it's an RUF music ministry (not totally sure about that) but they also have a ton of beautiful hymns!! Have FUN looking & listening!Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135223299830769638noreply@blogger.com
