• Song: “Grace” by Laura Story

    This is a great song by Laura Story.  At times I find myself weak, discouraged, unfocused, and stressed.  It is especially during those times that  I am thankful that I have a Savior to pick me up and give me the strength I need to get through each day.

    My heart is so proud. My mind is so unfocused.
    I see the things You do through me as great things I have done.
    And now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me.
    And hold me as my father and mold me as my maker.

    I ask You: “How many times will You pick me up.
    When I keep on letting You down.
    And each time I will fall short of Your glory.
    How far will forgiveness abound.
    And You answer: ” My child, I love you.
    And as long as you’re seeking My face.
    You’ll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace.

    At times I may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged.
    Knowing that someone, somewhere, could do a better job.
    For who am I to serve You, I know I don’t deserve You.
    And that’s the part that burns in my heart and keeps me hanging on.

  • Song: “Blessings” by Laura Story

    The phrase “What if blessings come as raindrops, what if your healing come through tears” has been stuck in my head for a couple weeks now.  I have rejoiced in blessings and shed a few tears with family and friends over the past few weeks.   I would love to think all blessings come from great positive events in my life (and in the lives around me), however, it is during those hard times that we turn back to the truth and our strength is renewed.  As I look back over the “trials” in my life I have caught a glimpse of how God is using those times to help me grow and make a positive impact on the lives of others.
