Baby Tears
One by one her tears hit the floor.
Her sisters fall simultaneously once more.
Twins they are called,
Together, but apart
Different personalities, but the same heart.
Miracle Babies, the doctor’s said.
You prayed, I prayed, We prayed
Just as we were led.
Love at first sight, second and third
They are beautiful, perfect, just like I heard
Over the phone because I was away
Where God had called me
On that special August day.
My brother’s heart grew bigger,
His life will never be the same
2 precious twin daughters
who now share his last name.
Baby Tears, they fall slowly
They cry, your heart begins to break
Just like your Heavenly Father’s
When you fail to look at the bigger picture
He is slowly but surely trying to make.
The twins cry when they’re hungry,
Scared, tired, or afraid
The whole time we look down at the them
Thinking “Why are you crying, your life is made.”
“When you are hungry
We feed you
When tired, we put you asleep.
When Scared or afraid, you are comforted
Fully taken care of,
Sweet babies, you shouldn’t make a peep.”
But with their limited minds,
They cannot understand it
So the baby tears begin to fall
Getting upset over something
That will be given to them after all.
We have all cried these tears
With broken hearts and a shattered dream
And the whole time God is watching
Saying, “My dear Child, if only you knew
Your heart would begin to beam
So TRUST in my Word, for it is all true.
When you cry those baby tears
Filled with emptiness and despair
“Fear Not, for I AM WITH YOU
I am Lord and Redeemer
Do you realize how much I care?”
We cry when we are scared
And hungry for more out of life
We cry because we are tired
of the busyness and strife.
Failing to remember
God makes beautiful things,
Beautiful things out of pure dust
So how much more will He make out of us.
But with our limited earthly minds
We cannot understand it
So the baby tears begin to fall
Getting upset over something
That in His timing
will be given to us after all.
So embrace your current trail
See it as a chance to grow
Deeper into His presence
Feeling His love so then you’ll know
The Baby Tears that stream down
Have been falling from day one
But when Christ died on the cross for us,
He said, “IT IS FINISHED AND DONE.”

I am currently fundraising for my Passport Mission Trip to Zambia I am going to lead starting in June. I am blessed with a group of 10 college aged students thirsty for more of God & ready to embrace all He has for them. I am so excited for this amazing opportunity God has placed before me. As I walk in obedience and TRUST in Him, I ask that you prayerfully considering financially supporting me during this next season. I still need $1,500 in order to make it onto the mission field and I am fully confident that God will provide the necessary funds to get me on a plane to Africa this summer. Thank you so much for those of you who have been following my journey since I started over a year ago on The World Race and now as I step into a leadership role. God is so good and I look forward to sharing with you more of my heart and experiences. God Bless~
