There is a God Above.

God is real. Sometimes that's a fact we forget. Tiffany reminds me every single day that God is real and He is right here with us.

"There is a God Above"

Hold fast to the family that loves you.
Hold fast to the family you love.
Hold fast to the breath that you have,
And treasure every moment of your everyday,
Because in life not everything goes your way.

Thanks be to God you have life, a family, and abundant love;
Simply because there is a God above.

Why She is Pure.

Tiffany is my sister.



She is older and wiser than me.  Her thoughts run deep and the voice of God runs deeper still through her.  Tiffany was born with Down's Syndrome.  Her chromosomes have given her that label, but that is not who she is.  She is a valiant warrior of God, she is strong, and she is on this earth because God has prepared good works for her to do, even before the world was.

Tiffany writes her thoughts down and they have often touched people deeply in the past.

I told her what a blog was, and she thought it would be a good idea to have one.  We agree. The purpose of this blog is sweet and true.  It's about Tiffany and how God speaks through her.

She writes it down, we type it. To kick it off, this is a more recent poem Tiffany wrote about the peace she feels while resting in God's presence.

"Each and Everyday" by Tiffany Cartwright

In my deepest sleep, I feel a blanket of peace
It keeps me warm all through the coldest night.
In my deepest sleep, the stars in the darkest sky shine so bright,
Like little specks of a nightlight.

In my deepest sleep, I am still and I know He is God.
The sun awakes me to start my everyday.
As time passes by and the day progresses,
I go back to relax again.

So next time I have a stress-filled day,
I remind myself to be still and know,
Even in my deepest sleep, my God is working through me,
In my each and everyday.
