2014 July: A Time to reconnect!

God is good.

God is committed to seeing you through what you are going through.

He is committed to seeing those you love through what they are going through.

Hang on! It's a journey of LOVE...

LOVE is patient... (sometimes for a really loooooong time)
LOVE is kind... (always)
LOVE keeps no record of wrongs... (even against God)

Yesterday was our daughter's 5th Chemo-therapy treatment since being diagnosed with cancer in her colon, liver, ovaries, and pelvic wall back in April. You can read more about that on our GIGATTAATTGIG facebook page.

Yesterday was also the 5th year anniversary of Lauren's heart transplant. Here is one of the times I've written about Lauren on this blog: http://gigattaattgig.blogspot.com/search?q=schwamb

Today, I post, in honor of Lauren and Jessica and their journeys with our Good God. GIGATTAATTGIG

Acts 17:24-31 "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And He is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He himself gives all men life and breath and everything else..
.
From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
.
God did this so that men would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 'For in Him we live and move and have our being.'
As some of your own poets have said, 'We are His offspring.'
.
"Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone-an image made by man's design and skill.
.
In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent. For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising JESUS from the dead." .
.
Philippians 2:9-11 "Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

KIMBALL MATKINS 1955-2009

A day after this blog began, Kimball Matkins, passed on from this life. Kimball loved people to know that he believed that no matter what the circumstances, GIGATTAATTGIG!

Kimball lost his first wife, Debbie, seven months after finding out she had cancer in 1999. Left with two young adult children, Kimball eventually remarried Melinda and became a father to her three boys. Then, in 2006 Kimball was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Despite his weakened state, he was a constant source of encouragement to family, church, friends, co-workers, and to those who heard him speak in church and college assemblies. Kimball will long be remembered for his joyful spirit, his love of hugs, his willingness to serve others, and his passion for God.

Last year, speaking at a chapel assembly at York College where he had served as financial aid director, he said, “It’s not about you”. He reminded the students about God’s purpose for their lives even when it looks like He’s not there. And as he said on a daily basis, “God is good… all the time.”

LYRICS TO: GOD IS GOOD by Don Moen

CHORUS:
God is good
all the time
He put a song of praise
In this heart of mine
God is good
all the time
Through the darkest night
His light will shine
God is good
God is good
all the time...
(repeat once)
.
1
If you're walking through the valley
There are shadows all around
Do no fear
He will guide you
He will keep you safe and sound
He has promised
to never leave you
Nor forsake you
And His Word is true
.
SING CHORUS
.
2
We were sinners
and so unworthy
Still for us He chose to die
He filled us with His Holy Spirit
Now we can stand and testify
That His love
is everlasting
And His mercies
they will never end
.
SING CHORUS
.
3
Though I may not understand
All the plans You have for me
My life is in Your hands
And through the eyes of faith I can clearly see.
.
SING CHORUS
.
INSTRUMENTAL PIECE
