Still Standing

This song is in my head today and it is really a good song. This is not I'm still standing and I crawled in and barely made it this is when you need a "bounce back" in your spirit! You can't keep me down, I'm blessed. 


Verse One:
You gave me courage to believe that all your goodness I will see and if it had not been for you standing
on my side where would I be

Chorus:
If not for your goodness if not for your grace I don't know where I would be today if not for your kindness I never could say I'm still standing if not for your mercy if not for your love I most likely would have given up if not for your favor I never could say I'm still standing but by the grace of God

Verse Two:
To you I lift my offering and set my heart on higher things for if it had not been for you standing on my side where would I be

Vamp:
I'm still standing I'm standing I'm still standing but by the grace of God





Woo....well as we all know I can't update my blog without some pictures of my adventures here in Costa Rica! So a few days ago some friends and I loaded up, in the public bus, and traveled 2.5 hours to San Carlos. There in San Carlos were the most relaxing things ever.....NATURAL HOT SPRINGS!! Ahh, it was so refreshing. So I took some pics for you guys but it was such a relaxing day. There were several different natural pools and each one was a different temperature. Some were to hot even for my feet. When we found one that was just right, the rest was history!


Once we got to the resort we had a pretty long walk down this winding road. 





I'm pretty sure this is what the road to Damascus was like!





Chase and Ian had to stop for a quick photo op!






The road ended then we had a nice hike through the rainforest. 






The scenery was gorgeous!





Mi amiga Susanita!






This was the hottest pool. It was in the shape of a heart. I guess cause you would probably have a heart attack i you got in it!






My boy Chase. These pools are different temps!






I'm pretty sure this a glimpse of heaven.






Megi-poo chilling!




Ethan ALWAYS becomes a spectacle whether he wants to or not! This time the old ladies liked his blonde hair and white skin!




Brandy and Meg chatting!






When we got too hot we would go get in the creek next to the Springs. It was ice cold. The kids loved it. You didn't have to stay in there too long before you were ready to jump into the hot springs again!






The boys: Ethan, Ian, Chase




The Group:

We are so thankful for your support.
