    I was thinking about the wonderful Christmas Season that we just celebrated with our family when I came across this song.  The song is about having a relationship with Him.   It is a great reminder as well as a peaceful and encouraging song.

  • Song: “I Need a Silent Night” by Amy Grant

    After a busy week of celebrations this song came to my mind.  Sometimes we get so “wrapped” up in all the activities we don’t take the extra time to truly enjoy the reason for the Christmas season.  In the chaos of the season’s activities take a some time to spend in quiet reflection.

  • Song: “Do You Have Room?” by Shawna Edwards

    I heard this song for the first time last week.  It is a beautiful song with a wonderful Christmas message.  The music is peaceful and asks an important question “Do You Have Room?”  Are we making time for what really matters this Christmas Season?  I sometimes find myself getting caught up on all the extra activities and stuff that needs to be done that I don’t take enough time to focus on the most amazing part of this Season.  The phrase that hit home with me was “There was no room for Him in the inn.  Do you have room for Him in your life?”

    Do you have room for the Savior?

    And do you seek Him anew?

    Have you a place for the One who lived and died for you?

    Are you as humble as a shepherd boy, or as wise of men of old?

    Would you have come that night?

    Would you have sought the light?

    Do you have room?

    There was no room for Him in the inn.

    Do you have room for Him in your life?

  • Song: “While You Were Sleeping” by Casting Crowns

    A great song to remind of all the amazing events that have taken place in history and a reminder of what is to come.  It is a very peaceful yet powerful song.

     Oh little town of Bethlehem
    Looks like another silent night
    Above your deep and dreamless sleep
    A giant star lights up the sky
    And while you’re lying in the dark
    There shines an everlasting light
    For the King has left His throne
    And is sleeping in a manger tonight, tonight

  • Song: “I Refuse” by Josh Wilson

    The title of this song caught me off guard but after hearing it several times it is really fitting.  The song talks about being aware of the people around you and what they are going through.  Many times you have a quick conversation with a friend or acquaintance or even a stranger and you realize that there is more going on then they are  telling you.  You can sense the pain or hurt in their voice or eyes yet often it is easier to act like everything is okay instead of finding a way to help them.  This song talks about stepping up, reaching out and refusing to ignore an opportunity to help, pray, listen, minister, share the gospel, and be a friend to others when they are going through a rough time in their lives or just need someone to listen.  Here are a couple verses of the song that popped out to me, hope you enjoy them as well:

    Sometimes I
    I just want to close my eyes
    And act like everyone’s alright
    When I know they’re not

    This world needs God
    But it’s easier to stand and watch
    I could say a prayer and just move on
    Like nothing’s wrong

    But I refuse
    ‘Cause I don’t want to live like I don’t care
    I don’t want to say another empty prayer

  • Song: “Life of Praise” by Casting Crowns

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgZEgr9yHds&feature=related

    We are blessed.  There is so much to be thankful for in our lives, however, how often do I stop to really praise the one who holds the world in his hands.  Do I “live a life of praise”?  During this Thanksgiving season take some extra time to think about the multitude of blessings you have in your life and give Him praise.  Hopefully we continue to sing His praises throughout the year as we see the countless gifts of love we have been given.  Here are a few lines of the song that were a great reminder to me:

    I will love You, Lord always
    Not just for the things You’ve done for me
    And I will praise You all my days
    Not just for the change You’ve made in me
    But I’ll praise You for You are holy, Lord
    And I’ll lift my hands, but You are worthy of so much more

    For You are awesome, God of the Nations,
    Lion of Judah, Rock of the Ages, Alpha, Omega
    You’re worthy of all praise
    More than these hands I’ll raise
    I’ll live a life of praise
    I’ll live a life of praise

  • Song: “Indescribable” by Chris Tomlin

    This is a great song giving God the glory for creation. We serve an amazing God and the song names only a few ways of how truly awesome He is from the seasons, to knowing each star, the depths of the sea and so much more.  You cannot fit such an amazing God in a box.   He is the creator of miracles and He is with you always to help guide your life no matter where you may go.   Here is a piece of the song to encourage you:

    Indescribable, Uncontainable,
    You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
    You are amazing God.
    All powerful, Untameable,
    Awestruck we fall to our knees and we humbly proclaim,
    You are amazing God.

  • Song: “Something Heavenly” by Sanctus Real

    I heard this song again recently, the phrase that really stood out in my mind was “Whatever You’re doing inside of me it feels like chaos but somehow there’s peace.”    A few weeks ago I posted a series on Loosening My Grip one that had been on my heart and mind for over a year (the post was started back in September 2010) but I finally after several months of going back and forth with God about posting it I decided that he knows better and may encourage someone who is going through a similar situation even though I felt like “chaos” was going on inside of me.  The other phrase that caught my attention with this song was “You’re up to something bigger than me, Larger than life, something Heavenly”.  His plans are much bigger than me and sometimes I may miss out on an opportunity he has for me because I want to be in control even though my life is the most effective when he is in control and is working through my life.  Hope this song is a blessing to you as well, here’s a few lines of it:

    Whatever You’re doing inside of me
    It feels like chaos but somehow there’s peace
    It’s hard to surrender to what I can’t see
    But I’m giving in to something Heavenly

    Time for a milestone, time to begin again
    Re-evaluate who I really am
    Am I doing everything to follow Your will
    Or just climbing aimlessly over these hills?
    So show me what it is You want from me
    I give everything, I surrender

    Whatever You’re doing inside of me
    It feels like chaos but I believe
    You’re up to something bigger than me
    Larger than life, something Heavenly
