• Song: “Strong Enough” by Matt West

    I had a day late last week when I got slammed with a bunch of stuff and felt overwhelmed with everything going on.  It was one of those days you wanted to crawl back in bed and start over again.  Thankfully I don’t have to fix everything or depend on my own strength to solve all the problems that hit me because God is right there alongside of me helping.  He is not surprised by the extra challenges that come into my life; in fact He uses them to reveal Himself even more in my life.

    You must
    You must think I’m strong
    To give me what I’m going through

    Well, forgive me
    Forgive me if I’m wrong
    But this looks like more than I can do
    On my own,

    I know I’m not strong enough to be
    everything that I’m supposed to be
    I give up
    I’m not strong enough
    Hands of mercy won’t you cover me
    Lord right now I’m asking you to be
    Strong enough
    Strong enough
    For the both of us

  • Song: “Out of My Hands” by Matthew West

    Our lives can revolve around schedules and being efficient, however, certain interruptions in life are outside of our control.  It is tough  loosening our grip on certain areas of our lives.   We often struggle to take control of the situations in our world yet it is when we let them go that we allow you to perform the true miracles.

    It’s out of my hands
    It’s out of my reach
    It’s over my head
    And it’s out of my league
    There’s too many things
    That I don’t understand
    So it’s into your will
    And it’s out of my hands

  • Song: “The Motions” by Matthew West

    When life gets busy it is easy to just go through the “motions”.  Yesterday our Pastor discussed the topic of prayer and how we need to look at prayer differently.  So many of us just go through the “motions” without even thinking about the deeper meaning behind prayer.  Having the open channel of communication with our Heavenly Father is not only beneficial it is essential.  It puts a whole new meaning on pray without ceasing!  What “motions” are you just going through today?  Take a few moments to quiet your heart and mind so you can focus on what’s important.

     

  • Song: “You Are Everything” by Matthew West

    Isn’t it wonderful knowing that you have someone looking out for you.  Many days I want to be “in control” of my life and it is only when I let it go and trust that he ultimately knows best that I have true peace.  Who or what is your everything?
