Dancing In The Minefields

If you haven't heard of the Christian musician, Andrew Peterson, than google him... you're in for a TREAT

I heard his song, Dancing In The Minefields, for the first time this morning on our local Christian radio station and just stopped... amidst the chaos of two dancing/singing little girls in their pajamas with breakfast still to be eaten... to cry. 

I am not the easiest person to live with. I'm a first born, emotional, high stressed, perfectionistic gal who has a hard time when things aren't the way I think they should be. WHAT? No one wants to pack up and move on in with us?!?! :)

Well, earlier this week, I asked Jonathan (for the first time) if he's ever thought of "getting out"... he just stopped and looked at me like I was crazy, then in a split second responded with a confident "no". Honestly... I didn't believe him at first. I thought there's no way it HASN'T crossed his mind.... but, he's in this marriage for the long haul. He loves me for me... even when I wonder how in the world he possibly could.

Then I heard this song... and ... gracious, I've been getting teary eyed all day!


"... and this is harder than we dreamed, but I believe that's what the promise is for. That's what the promise is for."


I pray my girls find a husband JUST. LIKE. THEIR. DADDY. He is one amazing, amazing man.

  2. Love love love this new one from AP. I never knew I even like folk(ish) music until I was introduced to him about ten years ago by a YWAM friend. :) He's one of my favorites, and has such an interesting way of telling stories from your own life in some of his songs.
    Anyway- it's nice to see your blog; to connect on another level. Your girls are downright beautiful. How are things with you?
