Overwhelmed with Thanksgiving

As I sit here in Drew's nursery,  I'm overwhelmed with thanksgiving. I'm so thankful Drew is healthy. I'm thankful for the nurses and doctors who lovingly cared for him. I'm thankful he will only have a short NICU stay. I appreciate the time I've had over the past week to get ready for Drew and for my body to heal. Thank goodness for a speedy delivery and recovery.  Praise God for blessing Nick and I with a beautiful delivery experience. I'm overwhelmed by the support we've received from our family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and even complete strangers who lifted our little family up in prayer.  Wow, it's amazing! God is great and He weaved all of this together so eloquently.  Once again, His plan turned out a million times better than my own. I felt His presence throughout my pregnancy, through the delivery, and now as we wait to bring our sweet Drew home. I sit here looking at Drew's crib and realize he will be in it very soon. Nick and I are so blessed to get the chance to raise another amazing child. These are definitely precious times in our life that we will cherish forever.  The song below came to my mind and I wanted to share.

Watch "Not For A Moment (After All) - Meredith Andrews (with Lyrics)" on YouTube

"Not For A Moment (After All)"
[Verse 1]You were reaching through the storm
Walking on the water
Even when I could not see
In the middle of it all
When I thought You were a thousand miles away
Not for a moment did You forsake me
Not for a moment did You forsake me

[Chorus]After all You are constant
After all You are only good
After all You are sovereign
Not for a moment will You forsake me
Not for a moment will You forsake me

[Verse 2]You were singing in the dark
Whispering Your promise
Even when I could not hear
I was held in Your arms
Carried for a thousand miles to show
Not for a moment did You forsake me

[Chorus]
And every step every breath you are there
Every tear every cry every prayer
In my hurt at my worst
When my world falls down
Not for a moment will You forsake me
Even in the dark
Even when it's hard
You will never leave me
After all

[Chorus]

Not for a moment will You forsake me
