Depend on God

While cleaning up this afternoon in preparation for some renovations I came upon an old song from the 80's. I tried to find the music online to no avail but nonetheless I will post the words here.

Depend on Me – Jonathan Michaels, Robert Mason

When the hope you had has disappeared
And you have lost your will to try,
And you think your ship has just come in
But it keeps on passing by;
When you have almost gained the victory,
And you have left the rest behind,
And the marathon has slowed its pace
As you reached the finish line,
And you round the final corner, but you fall,
Depend on Me

When your life is filled with emptiness
And your friends have said goodbye,
And the hill becomes a mountain
As your troubles multiply;
When your trials get too much to bear,
And you are standing all alone,
And the feeling way down deep inside
Is the worst you have ever known,
And you need someone to count on,
But no one’s there,
Depend on Me

Depend on Me,
When the world has let you down
Depend on Me,
When you feel you are losing ground
Depend on Me,
When your love has been denied,
When you have lost your earthly pride,
You can depend on Me.

God is good, no matter what stuff gets thrown at you, He is always there to carry you through.

Apparently I have been neglecting my blog, so here goes...


In the last month our middle son, Matt decided to give up his career as a helicopter pilot and return to farming. At first I was torn, not wanting him to give up something that I thought he had really wanted but the thought of him working far away - forever, as opposed to coming come to farm where he would always be near by. Well, I am sure as a mother you could see my dilemma. I suggested that  he pray about  it and we would do the same. God said to come back to his roots. So on April 21we moved Matt home from Yorkton, Sk back to Manitoba much to the dismay of the Robertson family who had come to know and love Matt and will miss him very much. 


Matt had purchased a fifth wheel camper a few weeks back which he picked up from the dealership on the following Monday. We think it was a top of the line camper when it was built back in 1993?, it was made by Triple E so it is well insulated and has lots of storage space. It has taken a couple of weeks to get all settled in, mostly because Matt was busy planting grains. He seems to have taken well to driving the planter and figured out the computer, GPS, etc. No longer is driving a tractor a simple thing with all the technology these days. He has also volunteered with the Senior Youth group and is getting involved in a college and career group. We/I am so pleased at how God has worked in Matt's life and has given him a desire to serve. 


Nick is enjoying working as a server at a restaurant in Portage La Prairie, he really enjoys the tip money.


Jord & Michelle also enoy their jobs in Winnipeg.


On Mother's Day, Tim, myself, Matt, Jord & Michelle went biking in the city. For us country folk, riding on pavement is such a treat, I wish I could enjoy it more often.


Matt has applied and been accepted to the School of Agriculture Diploma Program at the U of M! He will be starting this fall.


God has been taking me through a personal difficulty which will not be shared in this forum. But, if you feel so led, please remember me in your prayers.


God is good, ALL the time. He loves me and He love you too.
