Enjoy :o)
This is totally how I have been feeling lately, I am just thankful God is faithful to use my times alone in my car to minister to my heart through songs on the radio. Thank you Barlow Girl for being faithful to write it. He told me He wanted me 5 weeks ago at the ladies retreat I went to, and I still keep my heart from Him. I don’t want to do it anymore on my own Lord, I want you too.
This song made me cry the other day in the car. I’ve heard it before, and it was always touching, but with my son choking and running in the street recently it hit a little more close to home. You see I have been feeling either like God is getting me ready for something big like losing a loved one, or I am getting attacked and Satan is trying to distract me and make me live in fear. I want to thank Tanya for sharing her son Brent’s story, it was one of the many that have come past my view lately along with this one, very moving also! God bless you Tonya, to see that you are doing well with the Lord after losing a child is a great encouragement to me! My mom lost my twin sister when she was just 7 months old, (she ended up in a mental hospital when I was 2) they said my twin would have been physically and mentally handicapped if she lived, I praise God that she is there with Jesus now instead of suffering through life on this earth. Here’s my song by Mark Schultz. Oh, and the lyrics are here if you would like.
And found a new blog with a very interesting line of comments, it is Digging for Pearls…
… she has a post asking Christian women to share what their top 10 struggles are. If you go to her site (linked above) you can share too, and be entered in a book giveaway. Oh and I would love if you would copy and paste your comment from her blog to mine on this post so I can get to know you (my readers) better.
Here is my top 10…
I also found this blog post and I find that this video below would be my reaction…
I love this new Meme, and know that the song I am sharing this week is probably a very popular one as far as it touching peoples hearts… I just can’t help but share it though in my current (and hopefully forever) state of surrender to the Lord. The song is Dive by Steven Curtis Chapman. I remember this song touching my heart in high school as a new believer and it still has the same affect one me as long as I am faithfully walking with my Lord Jesus. AWESOME!
Here’s the lyrics:
the long awaited rains have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground and carved their way to where the wild and rushing river can be found and like the rains i have been carried here to where the river flows yeah my heart is racing and my knees are weak as i walk to the edge i know there is no turning back once my feet have left the ledge and in the rush i hear a voice that’s telling me it’s time to take the leap of faith so here i go
i’m diving in i’m going deep in over my head i want to be caught in the rush lost in the flow in over my head i want to go the river’s deep the river’s wide the river’s water is alive so sink or swim i’m diving in
there is a supernatural power in this mighty river’s flow it can bring the dead to life and it can fill an empty soul and give a heart the only thing worth living and worth dying for yeah but we will never know the awesome power of the grace of god until we let ourselves get swept away into this holy flood so if you’ll take my hand we’ll close our eyes and count to three and take the leap of faith come on let’s go
:o) Will you come with me? :o)
May we never take God’s grace for granted!
Tonight my son ran out into the street in front of our house. This street has VERY busy traffic, and it was already dark. I had the front door open with a baby gate up because it was hot in my house and we do not have a screen door. My son pulled on the top right side of the gate just enough to sneak out quietly without the gate looking tampered with, I was on the phone, on my computer and burping my 2 month old, and my husband was playing with my brother while my daughter was with my sister in law.
It didn’t take us too long to all ask where he was, my husband was about to get him ready for bed. I quickly ran outside not seeing him, he wasn’t coming when I called so I ran back in to see if anyone else found him. I ran back outside to find three neighbors on the left telling me with a heavy accent “the baby is over there”, so I ran to my right about 4 houses down to a women who had my son in her arms in a blanket.
I was crying as I hugged this woman and my son thanking her and the Lord. I took him from her and sat down with him crying while my husband came behind me. This women and her husband where in their car that they had to stop to not hit him, they got out and went to the closest neighbor who also came out of her house not knowing who my son was… they called the cops because they did not know who he belonged to!
So I am sitting there praising God for my son while my husband explains this all to the cops! Our God is good is He not?! A child, not even two, in the dark, on a busy street… and NO ONE hit him!!!! PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!! THANK YOU LORD FOR WATCHING OUT FOR MY BABY!
Join me ladies in this new Meme… I posted my song below in the first video, and if you want to see the words and or cords you can view the second (it’s humorous!). Oh, the song is Divine Romance by Phil Wickham. This particular song just makes me want to fall on my knees to reciprocate my love to my Savior. Thanks for recording them Phil, Praise be to Jesus!
Yep! I actually made up my mind :o)
The following review video helped answer my questions…then I purchased it on HSN.com with 350 grommets. I originally wanted it with a case, not embellishments, but I can get over that for now and just wait till the case shows up in stores… especially if it shows up at Michaels so I can use a 50% off coupon :o) )
