The Carpenter Family

Justin and I moved to Nevada in August 2005. We love it here. However we miss our family and friends back home. Our church here is great! We have been married for 7 years. We have one Daughter, Isabella who was born Oct 19 2006 and a son Caleb due in Feb of 2009! This blog is for our Family and Friends to catch up on how we are doing. What a great invention!

    One Life

    Recently our Youth put on a concert to raise money for One Life. One Life supports the slums in Nairobi. It was awesome! This is the 2nd year the Youth have put on this concert. They sell bracelets, cookies, jewelry, etc to help raise money as well. They work so hard and are so dedicated to making a difference. To have the Youth caring about others and stepping forward to help is such an example of serving and the difference it can make to so many. They raised over $25,000 for One Life! You guys all ROCK!

    It is not a human right to stare not fight, while broken nations dream,
    Open up our eyes so blind that we might find the mercy for the need.

    Hey Now fill our hearts with your compassion,
    Hey Now as we hold to our confession

    It is not too far a cry too much to try and help the least of these
    Politics will not decide if we should rise and be your hands and feet

    Hey now fill our hearts with your compassion
    Hey Now as we hold to our confession

    WOAH! God be the solution
    WOAH! And we will be your hands and be your feet

    Higher than all circumstances your promise stands, Your love for all to see,
    Higher than our protest lines and dollar signs your love is all we need
    Hey now fill our hearts with your compassion
    Hey Now as we hold to our confession

    Woah! God be the solution
    Woah! And we will be your hands and be your feet
    Woah! God be the solution
    Woah! and we will be your hands and be your feet

    Only you can mend the broken heart and cause the blind to see
    Erase complete the sinner's past and set the captives free
    Only you can take the widows cry and cause her heart to sing
    Be the Father to the fatherless, our saviour and our king
    We will be your hands we will be your feet
    We will run this race for the least of these, in the darkest place we will be your light
    we will be your light

    We will be your hands we will be your feet
    we will run this race for the least of these, in the darkest place we will be your light
    we will be your light

    Woah! God be the solution
    Woah! We will be your hands and be your feet
    Woah! God be the solution
    Woah! We will be your hands and be your feet

    and we will be your hands we will be your fee
    we will run, we will run, we will run with the solution

    We will be your hands we will be your feet
    we will run this race for the least of these, in the darkest place we will be your light
    we will be your light.
