Last night as we were traveling to Costco and dropping our 14 year old daughter off at soccer practice I told my husband that I had a song for him from me. This peaked his curiosity! Usually we're driving and he'll mention "this is our song" or "this is how I feel about you" so now it was my turn. Here goes:

Where You Lead I Will Follow by Carole King

Knowing you the way I do
I only want to be with you
And I would go to the ends of the earth
Cause, darling, to me that's you're worth

Chorus:
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead

If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely, and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there on the next train
Chorus

I always wanted a real home with flowers on the window sill
But if you want to live in New York city, honey, you know I will
I never thought I could get satisfaction from just one man
But if anyone can keep me happy, you're the one who can

Chorus

By the way, if you've never listened to this album and I never did until recently, you might want to! Steve also asked if  "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman" was about him but I just gave him the look. Wasn't one enough? Both of these songs? Okay-Yeah I guess so!

2 New Books

Picked up a new book at Costco last night. It's written by Kathryn Sansone, mother of ten. Never heard of her but I guess she's the hip mom of ten (been on Oprah, interviewed by magazines). Anyways, I figured if she has ten and I have eight then maybe she's got something I need to learn so I picked it up. It seems interesting, a little "Me" oriented but that seems to be one of the points of the book: when we become mothers and wives we lose ourselves and don't take care of us. I can see that but at the same time when I gave my life to my husband and my children, I found it.

Another book I'm reading is Tortured For Christ by Richard Wurmbaugh (think I spelled that right). It was written over thirty years ago when this man was in a Romanian prison for preaching the gospel in a Communist nation. Don't know how far I can read right now, it's very heavy and with Breanna dying and watching End of the Spear I don't know if my heart can take it. Perhaps I'll read a few pages here and there.

Walking

I'm going to attempt to start walking my property. We have four acres and I need to exercise. Thinking this makes sense since I'll still be home but getting my tired body moving. I had thyroid cancer last year so I had my thyroid taken out and then a radioactive iodine treatment plus I'm forty-five. Just makes for a tired body. Worked out in the yard hauling some branches for about an hour and I was plum-tuckered out. Didn't use to be that way. My youngest is five so I really need to strenghten myself.

Hope you have a great day!
