Timothy's Burden

I found the lyrics to this song in some of my things from the past. I love songs that have alot of meaning behind them.

Timothy's Burden
By: The Martins

Bringing my boots and my overcoat
Winter's not far down the road
These days grow short
And the truth won't let me go

Chorus:
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Not ashamed to wear these chains
If I suffer things I'm certain
Gonna count my loss for gain
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Oh yes I am, I'm taking on Timothy's burden

The grit of these burdens beyond my heart
And the voice of a true faithful friend
Are pulling me back to my first love again

I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Set free to run this race
Gonna bear God's testimony
I'm a prisoner of his grace
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I've got the truth inside
Though I suffer things I'm certain
Keep the faith to fight the fight
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Oh yes I am, I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I'll keep the faith and I'll fight the fight
Here's my life
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I'm taking on, I'm taking on, I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I'm taking on, I'm taking on, I'm taking on Timothy's burden

I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Set free to run this race
And I bear God's testimony
I'm a prisoner of his grace
I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I've got the truth inside
Though I suffer things I'm certaing
I'll keep the faith to fight the fight

I'm taking on Timothy's burden
Oh yes I am, I'm taking on Timothy's burden
I'm taking on Timothy's burden

A New House

Matt and I have finally found furniture for our house. This is a great accomplishment considering we have been in countless furniture stores over the last several months. I love the "new do". In addition to the furniture, we had the kitchen tiled. We also did an upgrade by having new windows installed and what a difference this has made. Oh, and I stained the staircase. I feel like I am living in a new house. These things have definitely tapped our budget, so we will probably not make any new changes anytime soon. On our list of things to do to the house are: new cabinets for the kitchen (or update existing ones), new kitchen counter tops, add an addition to the house with master bath and bathroom, remodel existing bathroom, landscape by adding privacy all around the perimeter, and this is just the beginning. We have a long way to go, but the house is completely different from the time Matt bought it until now. Some things that we have already done to the house are: new roof, central heat and air, landscaping, Aquaguard the basement, paint, tear out all carpet and refinish hardwoods, lighting, electrical upgrade, new storm doors, and plumbing upgrade.

Matt's landscaping is still going well, Lucy is great, and I am still at Penske. We are still at West Ridge Church, although we are planning a trip to First Baptist Atlanta tomorrow. I have always wanted to go hear Charles Stanley, so I am super excited. We are planning a trip to see my parents within the next few weeks so I am excited about that as well. My dad just had a birthday and my mom's is right around the corner. I miss Hazlehurst, well at least the people of Hazlehurst.
