Dear Blakely...

October 14th: Last Friday Rich took me out for a Date Night, and we went to the Shane and Shane concert at our church. They are my absolute favorite group, and have been since I was a Freshman in college. It was an amazing concert, and it was so much fun to spend a night of Worship with Rich!!


They are currently promoting their new CD, so they were playing a lot of stuff from the new album. One of their new songs is titled "The One You Need." This song was so exactly where we are in our life right now, and it is now my prayer for Blakely. I hope you like it....

"The One You Need"
by Shane Bernard and Shane Everett

Hey, hey sweet daughter
I'm so proud to be your father
Each day is like a gift from God
Hey, hey sweat daughter
There's no music like your laughter
And your smile is like the rising sun
You know I've loved you from the start
So come in close, take my hand
While Daddy shares his heart

I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I'm gonna let you down
There's Someone if you just believe
He'll be your hero like He's always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one you need

No mater what you walk through
He will always love you
Just the way you are
For there's nothing in this world
That I want for my baby girl
Than to be happy ever after
The story of your life is still untold
I pray the King of all the universe
Would make your heart His home

I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I'm gonna let you down
There's Someone if you just believe
He'll be your hero like He's always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one you need

Who will never leave
He's been there all along
Oh, when you're ready you can find true love

Dear Blakely,
Mommy and Daddy love you so much, and our desire is that you would know Jesus. He truly is all you need. Know that we will try to be the best parents we can be, but sometimes we will disappoint you. There is only One who can love you perfectly, and his name is Jesus. We pray each day that God will make us the parents you need, and that He will teach us how to love you the way He loves us!! We love you, Baby Girl!!
HIS- Mommy and Daddy
