Aria is HOME!!!!!
Psalm 30: 2-3
O LORD my God, I called to you for help
and you healed Aria.
O LORD, you brought her up from the grave
you spared me from going down into the pit.
Psalm 30:11-12
You turned my mourning into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.
