"Sunday Worship Song"

The song on my page is very touchy. My instructor danced beautifully to this 3 weeks ago. This song reminds me of my Dad and I reflect on how God is so good to me. I know I don't deserve his love and grace. I'm so thankful for him being in my Life! May you have a blessed Sunday and enjoy God's blessings today!



Have you ever heard a love song, that set your spirit free?
Have you ever watched a sunrise and felt you could not breathe?
What if it's Him.
What if it's God speaking.

Have you ever cried a tear that you could not explain?
Have you ever met a stranger who already knew your name?
What if it's Him.
What if it's God speaking.

Who knows how He’ll get ahold of us?
Get our attention to prove He is enough.
He’ll do, and He’ll use whatever He wants to.
To tell us, I Love You.

Have you ever lost a loved one
Who you thought should still be here?
Do you know what it feels like
to be tangled up in fear?
What if He’s somehow involved?
What if He’s speaking through it all?

Who knows how He’ll get ahold of us?
Get our attention to prove he is enough.
He’ll do and He’ll use whatever He wants to
To tell us, I love you.

His ways are higher
His ways are better
Though sometimes strange
What could be stranger than God in a manger?

Who knows how He’ll get ahold of us?
Get our attention to prove He is enough.
Who knows how He’ll get ahold of you?
Get your attention to prove he is enough.
He’ll do and He’ll use whatever He wants to,
To tell us I love you
God is speaking, I love you

The Book of Eli review!

This movie was awesome! I went last night to see this with my husband and w/o spoiling anything I found a great synopsis of the movie to share with you all. I got this from the internet movie database.

Eli (Denzel Washington) has been on a journey for 30 years, walking west across America after a cataclysmic war that turned the earth into a total wasteland. The world has become a lawless civilization where people must kill or be killed. The barren roads belong to gangs of cutthroats who rob and kill for water, a pair of shoes, a lighter, or just for fun. Eli is a peaceful man who only acts in self defense, and becomes a warrior with unbelievable killing skills when he is challenged. After the war and the "Big Flash", Eli was guided by a higher power to a hidden book and given the task of protecting the book and taking it to its final destination. Eli guards the book with his life, because he knows that the book is the only hope that humanity has for its future...... And you know what that book is right???

It was cool to see how he was carrying the last KJV bible. It was just a very inspiring movie. I would have posted the trailor but I just don't think it gives the movie enough credit. The trailor is nothing compared to the actual movie. Sometimes I can see the trailor and make my own decision on whether not I want to see it.. And I really was not going to go and watch this movie based on the trailor. But I'm glad I ended up going. I love all of Denzel Washington's movies. So I should have known he wasn't going to let me down this time either. My first thoughts when I saw the trailor was there was a lot of killing and it didn't look that interesting lol. But come to find out it was really good!!! I recommend all my readers to go watch this. You won't regret it! My husband even said it inspired him to get into the Bible a lot more!

If anyone else seen this what was your take on it? Did this movie inspire you like it did us?

"LORD, this is a Mess!"

My wonderful friend posted this on her FB! And I thought I would share this because it speaks truth. And I know this just might speak to you today!!

"LORD, this is a Mess!" ~ Lysa TerKeurst

Have you ever been in a situation that seemed like such a mess you simply couldn't make sense of it? Like trying to straighten out a tangled necklace, you wonder how in heavens' name did all these knots get kinked and twisted and pulled so tight. And in the midst of trying to untangle a knot on one side you inadvertently form another on the other end.

It's frustrating when this happens with a piece of jewelry. And it's even more frustrating when it happens in relationships.

The other day I sat down to pray about a messy relationship and the knots were so consuming I couldn't even begin to make sense of it all. I didn't even know what to pray. I kept trying to think of wise words to offer up to the Lord that would surely unlock pieces and parts of this mess. But I was completely without a drop of insight. All I could see was a mess.

So, that's all I prayed, "Lord, this is a mess."

And then I just sat quietly and waited.

And waited.

And waited.

All that waiting time makes a doing girl like me feel like my nerves are going to bust out of my skin and start yanking my limbs into action. So, with all my might, I made myself sit and say nothing at all except, "Lord, this is a mess." And you know what? It was really hard to sit there with no answers. No wise words to pray. My usually very verbal self couldn't express anything but, "Lord, this is a mess."

I believe it's situations like this for which Romans 8:26-28 was written:

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

In our weakness we can't objectively search our mind and spirit. And often in our weakness we can't untangle our knots according to God's will. We are too intertwined in emotion and assumption. That's why sometimes it's best if we just simply sit quietly and let the Spirit do some groaning, untangling and working on our behalf.

Like verse 28 says, there is good to come out of this. God is working and will work good out of this mess. Sometimes I think the only thing standing between our mess and His good work from it is our need to sit quietly. In the quiet beautiful things happen:

We calm down.
We create some white space between our harsh reaction and the way we'd want to react if we really thought things through first.
We can ask God to intervene with real wisdom instead of our assumptions.
God can show us where we need to change. We can't control the other person and parking our efforts toward trying will exhaust us. But we can let God help us change, which will create positive progress. (For more great things that can happen in the quiet, visit Lysa's blog linked below.)
I can't help but notice that the first four letters of Messiah spell mess. We need Him. Only the Messiah can take our mess and turn it into a untangled message of hope, forgiveness, and ultimately love.


Dear Lord, this is a mess. In Jesus' Name, Amen.


Power Verses:
Psalm 46:10a, "Be still, and know that I am God."

Romans 8:26b, "We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express."

"Sunday Worship Song"

Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue the souls of men
Oh you rescue the souls of men

Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost the way
Oh, we've hopelessly lost the way

You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for

Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh, we're falling before Your throne

Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually... 1 Chronicles 16:11

I know it has been a long time since I blogged! It has been a very busy but blessed week.

To all my Prayer Warriors.... followers or just random people that come on my page. I have a couple prayer requests. If you could please pray for these people. In no order just some people that need prayer....

-Two of my friends who had miscarriages in the past month.
-Baby Noah.. Recently my friend just gave birth to a baby boy and he had to be transferred from our AB hospital to an Italian hospital for close monitoring of his respiratory system.
-Haiti tragedy.. We have donated to help this cause but more importantly they do need our prayers and for God's protection. There are still several people missing, trapped underneath rubble, sick, etc..
-My bible study this year on "Hells Best Kept Secret".. I absolutely love Ray Comfort. He is a Christian minister and evangelist. I have a passion to reach the lost ever since I got saved. Sometimes I need a little help in that area. I am hoping this book will do that and help me grow in my Christian walk.

Unspoken prayer that God will guide me in the next couple weeks. I am part of a certain ministry and I will reveal when its all done with how it helped me grow in my faith, pictures and maybe a video. But, you all will be very surprised at what I signed myself up for. I'm doing it for the LORD and music is my heart and soul.

Lastly, please keep my family in your prayers. Also, pray for those who continue to slander my character to others. It's not nice! I'm glad I have my true friends who are not believing the lies because they know me. It just proves how I made the right decision by moving on and putting it in God's hands. And I'm glad I didn't lash out in such nasty measures and I didn't do the same thing they were doing. I'll be the bigger person here and just ask for your prayers that this will stop. Thanks! Matthew 7:12 "Do to others what you would have them do to you. Jeremiah 9:4 ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.


I leave you all with this verse...

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things......

Amen!

I appreciate your prayers.

P.S. I been getting A LOT of anonymous comments and spam stuff. So if you can't comment please let me know since I changed my settings.

Take my Life...

Take my life, O Christ divine,
Make it holy, just like shine;
Every act and thought and word
Be an outflow from my God.

Guide my feet and keep my heart;
Let me not from thee depart;
Let me breathe thy warming love,
That my soul be drawn above.

Draw me, Jesus closer draw;
Thy strong arm around me throw;
Draw me to thy pierced side;
In thy bosom let me hide.

Teach me all thy will and word,
That my life be filled with God;
Teach me. Lamb of Calvary,
How to live this life for thee.
