Have you seen this?

I heard about this on the radio yesterday...pretty cool what you can do with a phone (don't tell my husband I just said that!) and an AWESOME song! How Great is Our God!!

Something Beautiful

I cannot get this song out of my head...I hear it a lot on the radio and I never want the song to end.

Have a listen to 'Something Beautiful' from Need to Breathe...

Lead Me to the Cross

So thankful for my Savior today!

...O God...lead me to your heart.

How He Loves

Powerful song...listen & worship!

1 John 4 (The Message)
9-10This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God.

One Life to Love

I've heard this song, One Life to Love, by 33 Miles, many times recently. Last night I was out & about running some errands (grabbing some good deals, of course!), enjoying some time all to myself and heard it again. My first thoughts were...it sounds a little bit country! ;) And then as I continued to listen more closely I realized that there is a huge message in this song. It really made me think.

I thought about all of the opportunities I've missed to show the love of Christ to others. And why do I miss those opportunities? Is it because I let fear get in the way? Do you do this?

I thought about how sometimes we think we have to do something BIG in order for it to matter. Why do we think like that? Why do we think that things have to be huge in order for them to matter? And when we think we have to do BIG things in order for them to matter...does it make us too busy to the point where we put God and the people we care about the most on the back burner? Something Tom said a few weeks ago in his sermon stuck with me, "If Satan can't make you bad, he'll make you busy". I chuckled when Tom said it...but think about it...when we get too busy with "stuff" it causes us to fall in other areas. When we're too busy we can't reach out to others as often as we should because we're caught up in the "stuff".

It made me think about the sermon on Sunday and Romans 12...when we don't use the gifts God has given us, we're cheating others. We all have gifts...why don't we use them? God gave us those gifts to use for HIM...why aren't we putting them to good use for His glory?

I had to ask myself...am I making the most of EVERY moment I have here on earth? This is time that God gave me...what am I doing with it? Am I loving others as I should? Am I looking for love in the wrong places when I know that THE only TRUE love is in Christ?

Take a listen...



What are you thinking about? Are you living a life of love?

I don't want to live my life and look back and have regrets. We are given ONE life to make a difference...let's use it...for HIM!

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. --Ephesians 5:1-2

My Jesus...HE is MIGHTY TO SAVE!

This is one of my favorite songs...



For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty Savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With His love He will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.

--Zephaniah 3:17

...and a little bit of Jesus!

Thank you Jesus for being more than a friend...for your love and your grace that never fails...for the joy that you bring to my soul...for your merciful touch...

Music that Speaks

I love, love, love Christian music! God has a way of speaking to me through music...as I know he does for many others. Music is a powerful thing! Do you ever feel SO moved by a song...and can't stop listening??? I'll admit...I've pushed the repeat button on my CD or MP3 player and listened to the same song over & over again for a large portion of a day because I like it THAT much! God has used music to pull me out of pits that seemed so deep at the time and helped me draw closer to Him.

God has blessed many of His people with an awesome talent and uses them for His glory through music. I thank God often for these people!!! These are just some of the songs that I could listen to over & over again.

This one...By Your Side by Tenth Avenue North...reminds me so much of what Christ did for me and that no matter what, He is ALWAYS there and is never leaving!



And this one...Born Again by Third Day...reminds me of Christ's Love for me, where I've been and the freedom I now have in Christ.




Also this one...What Do I Know of Holy by Addison Road (GREAT album, by the way!)...just makes me THINK! What do I know of Holy? It challenges me to get to know my God more and MORE!

(I posted the lyrics below)



I made You promises a thousand times,
I tried to hear from Heaven, but I talked the whole time.
I think I made You too small. I never feared You at all. No.
If You touched my face, would I know You?
Looked into my eyes, could I behold You?

What do I know of You, who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood, but the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury? Are You sacred? Are you beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out.
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were might to save.
But those were only empty words on a page.
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be.
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees.

What do I know of You, who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood, but the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury? Are You sacred? Are you beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of Holy? What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life it's name?
What do I know of Holy? Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name, on earth and heaven above, what do I know of this Love?

So what do I know of You, who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood, but the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury? Are You sacred? Are you beautiful?
Lord, what do I know? What do I know of Holy? What do I know of Holy? What do I know of Holy?


God loves you SO much that He gave His life for you so that you could have new life...Eternal Life, and He wants an intimate relationship with you!
