Where Angels Hang Around

The girls and I fly out to St Jude today. Ellie has her 3 month check-up. Please pray with us that we return home with a cancer free little girl. We accept God's Will and I am praying with all I have that He believes we still need her more than He does.

We will be gone all week for some additional testing regarding hormones which means Ellie gets a few more needle pricks than normal but she is OK with that and we have some fun activities planned along the way. It'll be good to be back in Memphis. Emma hasn't been in about 15 months or so and she is very excited. We will visit good friends, places we love and again be humbled by it all.

This is a song by James Otto that is a beautiful testimony to St. Jude. It's such a visual and moving song. This particular video is not about St. Jude but I liked this version of the song live. It is however about a brother and sister that both passed from brain tumors 20 years apart on the very same day. Isn't that incredible? I included the lyrics below.

Thanks for your prayers!!!

A hundred miles out of Little Rock
Windshield full of rain
I-40 eastbound drivin’ while I pray
She’s asleep in the backseat
Holdin’ tight to her teddy bear
She’s got her daddy’s smile and her momma’s hair
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word keeps us comin’ back

Chorus:
Across the Mississippi
A mile or two from Beale Street
Not too far from Graceland
Where the king of rock and roll sleeps
To a place for children
Where God sends his mercy rainin’ down
In the heart of Memphis
Where angels hang around

All the deals I’ve made with God
The conversations that we’ve had
Tryin’ to accept things I could not understand
I wanna walk her down the aisle
While those church bells ring
See her get the chance
To live all her dreams
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word keeps us comin’ back

Chorus

So sleep tight baby while these four wheels roll
’Cause just beyond the clouds there’s a ray of hope

There’s a place for children
Where God sends his mercy rainin’ down
In the heart of Memphis
Where angels hang around
