Song: Not for A Moment by Meredith Andrews
He is constant. He is good and holy. God never forgets or leaves us. He is with us always!
You were reaching through the storm
Walking on the water
Even when I could not see
In the middle of it all
When I thought You were a thousand miles away
Not for a moment did You forsake meAfter all You are constant
After all You are only good
After all You are sovereign
Not for a moment will You forsake meYou were singing in the dark
Whispering Your promise
Even when I could not hear
I was held in Your arms
Carried for a thousand miles to show
Not for a moment did You forsake meAnd every step every breath you are there
Every tear every cry every prayer
In my hurt at my worst
When my world falls down
Not for a moment will You forsake me
Even in the dark
Even when it’s hard
You will never leave me
After allSong: Your Presence Is Heaven by Israel Houghton
Taking some time everyday to spend in the quiet presence of the Lord can make all the difference in your day. We get so easily distracted, or at least I do, with everything going on around us that we don’t intentionally make time to spend in prayer and in God’s word. Take time today to be in His presence. Let Him speak into your heart and life.
Who is like You Lord in all the earth?
Matchless love and beauty, endless worth
Nothing in this world can satisfy
‘Cause Jesus You’re the cup that won’t run dryYour presence is heaven to me
Your presence is heaven to meTreasure of my heart and of my soul,
In my weakness you are merciful,
Redeemer of my past and present wrongs,
Holder of my future days to comeSong: You Lead by Jamie Grace
There are times when I feel like I have be in control of the circumstances in my life….usually this doesn’t work out well for me because God usually has different plans for me. Much better plans actually than I have for myself! When I let go of my agenda, personal calendar, or whatever I want to call it that day and let him lead me it is amazing what can be accomplished. Thankfully, he11 is very patient with me. It is my prayer that all of will allow him lead us in our thoughts, words, and actions not only today, but everyday of our lives here on earth.
I’ve got waves that are tossin’ me,
Crashin’ all over my beliefs,
And in all sincerity, Lord,
I wanna be yours,
So pull me out of this mess I’m in,
Cause I know I’m wanderin’
Lead my soul back home again,
I’ve always been yours,And this world may push, may pull,
But your love it never fails,You lead, I’ll follow, Your hands hold my tomorrow,
Your grip, Your grace, You know the way,
You guide me tenderly,
When you lead, I’ll follow,
Just light the way and I’ll go,
Cause I know what you got for me is more than I can see,
So lead me on, on, on and on,
Just lead me on, on, on and on,As a child I heard your voice,
But as a girl I made my choice,
There is no other way for me,
I’m devoted to you,
You’re my peace on the heavy days,
You’re the warmth of an autumn blaze,
Your love carries me away,
And it’s never too soon, no…Song: There Must Have Been Something in the Water by Carrie Underwood
Recently at church they had a baptism service. It was a great reminder of the changes in the hearts and lives as Christ continues to work through us. Such a wonderful act of love and commitment. It is great to see people stepping out in faith and sharing with others. I pray that God continues to work my heart and life as well as those around us.
He said, “I’ve been where you’ve been before.
Down every hallway’s a slamming door.”
No way out, no one to come and save me
Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me Then somebody said what I’m saying to you
Opened my eyes and told me the truth.”
They said, “Just a little faith, it’ll all get better.”
So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I’m changed
And now I’m stronger Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way
Didn’t think about it for a couple of days
Then it hit me like a lightning late one night
I was all out of hope and all out of fightCouldn’t fight back the tears so I fell on my knees
Saying, “God, if you’re there come and rescue me.”
Felt love pouring down from above
Got washed in the water, washed in the blood and now I’m changedAnd now I’m stronger
There must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the waterAnd now I’m singing along to amazing grace
Can’t nobody wipe this smile off my face
Got joy in my heart, angels on my side
Thank God almighty, I saw the light
Gonna look ahead, no turning back
Live every day, give it all that I have
Trust in someone bigger than me
Ever since the day that I believed I am changed
And now I’m strongerI am changed
StrongerI’m free
Song: Me Without You by TobyMac
Thankful for the opportunity to go through this awesome journey of life with one stronger and wiser than I am. I have been blessed with a wonderful gift of saving grace, but life also dishes out plenty of difficult times too. During those tough times I am especially grateful He is there to see me through as well as remind me of His faithfulness and goodness in my life.
Raindrops rollin’ off my brim
Streetlights got the pavement glistenin’
Touchdown, I fall into Your arms
Right where I belong
Your everlasting armsAnd where would I be
Without You…I’d be packin’ my bags when I need to stay
I’d be chasin’ every breeze that blows my way
I’d be building my kingdom just to watch it fade away
It’s true
That’s me without You-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou
That’s me without You-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou
That’s me without You-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou
Don’t know where I’d be without You
(Wooooah, without you)Flashback, step into the scene
There’s You and there’s a very different me
Touchdown, You had me at believe
You had me at believe, You didYou rescued me
You are mine, I am Yours
You rescued me
And I am Yours forever
You saved me, remade meAnd where would I be
Song: Thrive by Casting Crowns
We were made for so much more! Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the busy activities of life that we forget we are here for a reason. Anything truly is possible when we seek God’s wisdom in our lives!
Here in this worn and weary land
Where many a dream has died
Like a tree planted by the water
We never will run drySo living water flowing through
God, we thirst for more of You
Fill our hearts and flood our souls with one desireJust to know You and to make You known
We lift Your name on high
Shine like the sun, make darkness run and hide
We know we were made for so much more than ordinary lives
Its time for us to more than just survive
We were made to thriveInto Your word, were digging deep
To know our Fathers heart
Into the world, were reaching out
To show them who You areJoy unspeakable, faith unsinkable
Love unstoppable, anything is possibleSong: Greater by MercyMe
What a wonderful reminder that He is so much greater than our mistakes! Thankful for a Heavenly Father that shows me grace everyday. Sometimes I struggle with “what would people think” rather than being secure in Christ and graciously allowing him to free me from those fears or doubt. So glad He really is greater!
Bring your tired
Bring your shame
Bring your guilt
Bring your pain
Don’t you know that’s not you’re name
You will always be much more to meEvery day I wrestle with the voices
That keep telling me I’m not right
But that’s alright‘Cause I hear a voice and He calls me redeemed
When others say I’ll never be enough
And greater is the One living inside of me
Than he who is living in the world
In the world
In the world
And greater is the One living inside of me
Than he who is living in the worldBring your doubts
Bring your fears
Bring your hurt
Bring your tears
There’ll be no condemnation here
You are holy, righteous and redeemedEvery time I fall
There’ll be those who will call me
A mistake
Well that’s okThere’ll be days I lose the battle
Grace says that it doesn’t matter
‘Cause the cross already won the war
He’s Greater
He’s GreaterSong: Feel It Feat by TobyMac
This is a very upbeat and peppy song. I love how it talks about God taken our brokenness and making us into something beautiful. He can take our shattered pieces and mold them into something good for Him.
Well, you can’t see the wind, but it moves the leaves
From the bottom to the top of the tallest trees
You are everything I will ever need
And they can’t take that from meOh, I feel it in my heart
I feel it in my soul
That’s how I know
You take our brokenness and make us beautiful
Yeah, that’s how I know (can’t take that from me)Love came crashin’ in
Never gonna be the same again
Yeah, You came crashing in
You wrecked me, You wrecked meEverybody talkin’ like they need some proof
But what more do I need than to feel YouHoliday Gift Giving: Give the Gift of Amazon Prime

Song: I Will Look Up by Elevation Worship
This song has been in my head since singing it in church recently. I am thankful for God’s faithfulness in my life. My favorite line is “I will look back and see that you are faithful. I look ahead believing you are able.”
All the worries of this world
I will lay them at your feet
Surrender every anxious thought
For perfect peace
Your perfect peaceOh the loved ones I hold dear
All my hopes and dreams and all my fears
I will choose to trust your name
In everything
With everythingI will look up for there is none above you
I will bow down to tell you that I need you
Jesus, Lord of all
Jesus, Lord of allI will take you at your word
Jesus you have taken hold of me
All my life is in your hands
You’re my strength
You’re my strengthI will look up for there is none above you
I will bow down to tell you that I need you
Jesus, Lord of all
Jesus, Lord of all
I will look back and see that you are faithful
I look ahead believing you are able
Jesus, Lord of all
Jesus, Lord of AllPrince of Peace
Perfect Healer
All my life, all my cares on you
King of Kings
Mighty Savior
All my life, all my cares on you
