Denbigh was amazing last night in the Austin Artist Showcase put on by 102.3 The River. I may be biased (or completely enamored), but I believe he was the best one there! It seemed that about 3/4 of the people were there to support him. He also had some special guests show up unexpectedly that warmed his heart. May God Himself bless you all for taking the time to show up and encourage my husband!
My man did it. He has advanced to the top 5 in The River's Artist Showcase. As Melissa said, "He's in the show!" That's baseball terminology, in case you don't know.
If you are looking for a reason to get out of the house, come to Austin, or just plain want to have the best night of your life . . . here is your opportunity.

Can this be possible? God is sharing another life with Denbigh and I. She is four days old. I cry everytime I see my husband hold her. I thought I would put up a picture of them to share.
Laomai Petra Cherry is number 8 in the Cherry Family lagacy to wear this gown home. It started with Denbigh's dad. The order (and relation to Denbigh) goes: Mike Cherry (dad 1952), Terry Cherry (uncle 1954), Brice Cherry (brother 1973), Denbigh Cherry (1974), Casha Cherry (cousin 1984), Michael Cherry (brother 1992), Cooper Cherry (nephew 2005), Laomai Cherry (daughter 2007).
I have been praying for a Word from God and received many yesterday. One thing I read is located in the 38th chapter of Isaiah. In it Hezekiah is crying out to God because he was about to die.
Verse 12 reads: "Like a shepherd's tent my dwelling is pulled up and removed from me; As a weaver I rolled up my life He cuts me off from the loom; From day until night You make an end of me."
Hezekiah thought it a travesty to have no heir to his throne and cried out for more years to bear children (as though God could not raise up a suitable successor). His distrust of God lead to the 55 year reign of his evil son Manasseh. This son undid every reformatory thing Hezekiah instituted. He set up idol worship, sacrificed his own son through fire to a pagan god, and slaughtered all the prophets. One of those prophets (according to Jewish tradition) was his father's best friend Isaiah. They say he was sawed in half.
I do not want to go out like Hezekiah. To me, being cut free from the weaver's loom means that you are done and ready to go on for intended use (in this case, to go on to be with Christ). I desire to go on. I desire to be sent on for the intended reason I was made. He says that it is time. The blanket is woven. May we trust in the Lord God to complete His purposes and simply go and do what He has intended for us. May we come fully to the end of ourselves indeed. May we not crave earthly things more than our heavenly Father.
I saw these pics on the BBC News web site the other day and thought they were adorable. They will soon no longer be able to be friends though because the tigers start eating meat at 3 months old. Isn't that how it always goes? I have no idea what I mean by that. Enjoy.
