To off-set the shock of my new hobby....here is my new favorite song. :-) It's been getting me through some rough times. :) Also. Thank you to Shana and Melissa for your insight. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to share with me. I've been trying so much to keep my eye on God as EVERYTHING. Today, our sermon was focusing on Christ IN us...as we shine like stars. Through thick and thin. So, even more encouragement. Being a Christian is great and all, but only if you can live it out practically and impact others daily. What are we doing to further the Kingdom daily? Yeah...we're going to face struggles. But look at Paul and Silas...they were beaten with rods to the point of death. Yet - while in prison, locked up with what seems like no hope...they sang praises to the Lord. And the chains were loosed. And a prison guard gave his life to the Lord. Think about the impact we could make just leaning on God. Totally, one hundred percent along for the ride. Letting Him control our thoughts, decisions and actions, The love that would pour out....would be astounding. So yes. He will provide.....He never let us down. SO there you go.
Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away
Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run
And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life
Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go
And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you

WOW! Now I need to thank you for your insight :) isn't it sad how easily we pull the poor me card? Then to look at the lives of the disciples and what they gave to the Lord and how they lived out their lives to honor and bring him glory~ amazing! If I could just have a tenth of their kingdom centered thought process, I can't my life would be so much different! Compared to Paul and Silas, my life has been peaches and cream!
