  • Song: “Word of God Speak” by MercyMe

    We don’t deserve anything yet we are blessed beyond words.  How often do we stop and listen, giving God the opportunity to speak into our hearts.  When is the last time I have asked him to speak to me?  He has so much love and insight to share if only I would make a point to daily spend more time in his presence.

     

  • Song: “Keep Changing the World” by Mikeschair

    “Keep Changing the World” is great reminder of how one person can make a difference for in the lives of people around them.  When we show the love of Christ to others in our neighborhood and community we have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of others.  We can change the world we live in by helping those around us.  It is hard for me to imagine “children without homes” but I know it happens.  Pray about ways you can get involved and help those within your immediate community.

  • Song: “God of This City” by Chris Tomlin

    Great song!  There are so much we can do each day to help others.  My favorite phrase of this song is “greater things are yet to come, greater things are still to be done in this city” because it reminds us that making our world / city a better place is something we be a part of.   We have the choice every day to make a positive impact on the people around us.  What impact are you making on the lives of others?

  • Song: “One True God” by Mark Harris

    I often get caught up on the “details” of life…..it is great to be reminded of the One True God.  He created all that is in the earth, including me.  I am thankful that everything is left up to the one who can handle all the details of life.

     

  • Song: “I’m Gonna Sing” by Chris August

    I am not a “singer” but I love music.  Chris August has some great songs and the chorus “I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna dance, I’m gonna praise You…..”  stood out to me because even though I cannot carry a tune God is still honored and pleased by my worship to Him.  He knows your heart and loves it when you sing his praises even if that is only during your quiet time alone with Him.   Go ahead I give you permission to sing.

  • Song: “It Is You” by Newsboys

    Jake and I were able to attend the Winter Jam 2011 when they came to Greenville, SC and hear the Newsboys in concert that night.  “It Is You” was one of the songs I enjoy from the Newsboys.  It realigns my focus and helps me remember who/what life truly is about.

  • Song: “Starry Night” by Chris August

    This song stands out to me and makes me appreciate our creator.  “The only One who makes the moon reflect the sun…”  In January we had the opportunity to go on a cruise and we got a glance of some of the earth’s amazing treasures.  If you think about it even for a few minutes you will see the beauty of the world we live in.  Take a moment this week to go outside and look at everything we have to be thankful for around us (birds, flowers, starry sky, sun, and so much more).

  • Song: “What Faith Can Do” by Kutless

    We were able to see Kutless in concert during our Valentine’s Date at Winter Jam in Greenville, SC.  It was neat to hear their songs that night.  Since then several of their songs have been ringing through my head, this is one of those songs.  We all fall and make mistakes, however, it’s how we pick ourselves up that matters.  Having faith in something so much greater than ourselves gives us the additional strength and hope we need to get through any situation.  We have the privilege of seeing miracles happen when we have faith that God can and will provide exactly what we need.

  • Song: “Glory Of It All” by David Crowder Band

    Jake and I were able to hear the David Crowder Band in concert at the Winter Jam 2011 in Greenville, SC.  The phrase “We Will Never Be the Same” really stood out to me in this song.  Do I look like everyone else or is there something different about me?  I have the privilege to know the one true God, yet there are days I am convinced no one sees His love, kindness and mercy in my life.  He knew me before I was born and will be with me until the end of time.  May we reflect His goodness in our lives because he truly is the one who deserves our praise “for the glory of it all”!

  • Song: “God With Us” by MercyMe

    I have heard this song multiple times but two weeks ago I a phrase in this song jumped out at me and has been stuck in my mind.  Great song!  The phrase that has stood out to me is “Such a tiny offering, compared to Calvary”  The time I take to have quiet time, taking a meal to a friend in need, eating healthier, and other activities are such a tiny offering when you look at what He did for me.  Yet there are days I complain about the busy schedule and curve balls life throws my direction when those are merely speed bumps to get my attention.  Hope you enjoy this song as much as I did.
