To blog or not to blog?

OK so our family decided to start blogging. Today. Well, one of us did. Maybe the other 4 will get interested! We are the Goforths... The Going-Forth 5... Get it? Some of you might actually decide to follow our blog. Most won't. But anyway, this is gonna be a place where we talk about what is important to us...God, family, ministry, school, trips, pets, ups, downs, twists, turns. Life. I guess about anything goes. Maybe we'll post a pic or a song or a video. Maybe we'll talk about something we've read. Bottom line: each member of our family is realizing we were created for a purpose. We are all growing and learning that God made us to declare His glory. Every day.

Today, maybe the attached song might be something encouraging. Jackson and I started writing this a while back. One of us was having, well...a tough day.  Listen to a rough unfinished cut at...

ENOUGH GRACE

There is enough grace there is enough God
This day that you face won't have the last word
Be strong but be sure that even when you're not
There is enough grace there is enough God.

This fear that you have, these questions you've asked
So much time has passed since you felt sure
Be amazed when our God steps in
To show the way, to save the day

  2. Thanks for doing this -- there are some out there (like ME) who need this type of encouragement. I LOVE the song, especially "be strong, be sure, but even when you are not . . ."

  3. Love the song! What an awesome reminder of just how Big our God is, and how thankfully we don't have to be perfect to be loved. I love the Godly spirit of the Going-Forth 5!
