[Princess Michelle]

Morning everyone! Stampy, I'm glad to hear that all of your meetings went well. I love "Be Thou My Vision" I don't think I know the other song you asked about though. Thanks so much for singing my song but you left out part of the chorus.

(You're the wonderful One)
Every breath I take I want my life to bring You praise
(You're the Wonderful One)
I am so amazed by Your never ending grace
(You're the Wonderful One)
And nothing in this world could separate me from Your love
(You're the Wonderful One)

I'm not being picky, just being a brat. I thank you very much dear Stampy!

Amanda, I'm glad you are doing better. Not having any children I don't really have
any advice about what to do with your DD. I'm sure you have shared with her the scriptures
about children obeying their parents. Maybe you could come up with a little parable
for her. Talk to her about something that makes her sad and let her know that when she
lies or disobeys that's how it makes you and God feel and just like she needs something
to make her feel better when she is sad, you and God need her to say she is sorry so that
you can feel better. That's probably not the greatest advice but maybe it'll help you think
of something. I'll be praying for you and DD. btw, I love "Count Your Blessings"

I just want to love
I just want to sing
To the One above
Who has touched this thirsty soul
And now I'll never be the same

I'll always love You
I'll always sing to You Jesus
I long to worship You in spirit and in truth
I'll always love You
I'll always sing to You Jesus
I long to worship You in spirit and in truth

Every day I'll come
Spend my life with You
Learning of Your heart
And what You're calling me to do
My every breath belongs to You

I'll always love You
I'll always sing to You Jesus
I long to worship You in spirit and in truth
I'll always love You
I'll always sing to You Jesus
I long to worship You in spirit and in truth

And with this song
We'll lift the name of Jesus higher
And with a shout we'll raise up one voice

I'll always love You
I'll always sing to You Jesus
I long to worship You in spirit and in truth
I'll always love You
I'll always sing to You Jesus
I long to worship You in spirit and in truth</Font>

I want Your love more and more each day
And when I dance before You Lord
I'm gonna dance with all my might

ooppps Michelle, the print is so small in that CD-guess I missed it. I knew something didn't sound right! Did you have your STARS meeting yet?

good morning all! Jilly, I know you're out there-I saw that you were logged on !

 

[Hemi-mom]

Hello there!

Haven't been able to post for a while but I have been keeping up with you all in reading!

believe, I know just how you feel and I pray that God will give you extra sources of encouragement this week since you missed out on Sunday! When I am busy on a Sunday "serving" I usually will listen to a tape of our Pastor or listen to some radio preaching during the week. I also keep the music on as much as possible!!!!
Difiant children...I would have NO Knowledge about that...HA! This is something that I deal with too...of course (it comes with the parental territory)! There is a book called Shepherding the Heart of a Child that would be a good one to read. It deals a lot with "heart issues" being behind all behavior and offers suggestions on dealing with those issues over specific behaviors, for example. I think that the way you handled it was great. Kids need to know that they are displeasing God, not just us. Not to make them full of guilt, but so they'll know that God's truth comes with absolutes and boundaries, (concepts foreign in Modern thinking). Make her aware and God will convict her tiny, (albeit rebellious) heart. Your daughter is so blessed to have people who are teaching her right from wrong with a Godly perspective. So many kids do not have that. I think that makes it even tougher on kids these days. All of our kids need EXTRA prayers! I will pray for you and your DD!

Stamper, STAMP, STAMP, STOMP! Go Patriots! And Bradley is in WDW!!!! LOL What a game! I knew they would push fo r the win in the end and I am so glad they did. Overtime could have gotten UGLY! I almost didn't watch but I was glad I saw them win!
I didn't post but I read your post about your family's meetings and prayed for you. I'm so glad things worked out so well! Glad the new PC is working out...what kind did you get?

Michelle, I'm so glad the new job is going well! Are you really enjoying yourself yet or still getting adjusted! Thanks for asking where I was. I was waiting for the old chocolate cake lure to come back (or should I say BAKE)! LOL (I'm just TOOO funny)

I S M Y C O L O R OK F O R Y O U R M O N I T O R ???? Ahem...Excuse me I forgot you're blind, not deaf! "OPEN THE EYES OF HER MONITOR , LORD!" (Now, THAT was bad) LOL

JC2scoops of raisins! I will pray extra hard as the work increases...glad you're enjoying it though! I LOVED the words to that song that began... I know You love an offering...! Who sings that????? It is so beautiful and I was able to relate it to feelings that I have been having recently and questions in my heart. God surely gave you those words for me sis...don't you just love when He does stuff like that, guys????!!!!!


Hello all of you lurkers and come-and-goers! Prayers to you!


So often this is my desire, but not my reality. I pray Lord, Your Will would mold my thinking, renew my mind and change my heart and life...for Your glory...

Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use every power as Thou shalt choose.

Take my will, and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own; it shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for Thee.

Hi Stampy! Sorry I mssed you You were gone b4 I could PM you!

Amanda, I hope what I said up above made sense... I reread it and thought it sounded a little rambly...but as people on herecan attest...I DO go on sometimes.

Ladies, I am afraid that anyday now my bouncy Poohbear will be history as they are shutting down the DIS websites where all of my clipart is stored. Any suggestions?

Also, I forgot to tell you that my nephew's baptism went well and my nieces and I sang and it all BLENDED well! My brother is such a good pastor and preacher! He has a great ministry there in Lebanon PA.

We sang this chorus since it one of my nephew's favorites...

We Believe in God/ Amy Grant

We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
Cause life is hard
And it might not get easier

But don't be afraid
To know who you are
Don't be afraid to show it

If you believe in God
If you say you need Jesus
He'll be where you are
And he never will leave you

Sing to me now words that are true
So all in this place can know it....

We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus

Sing to me now words that are true
So all in this place can know it.....

We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus

 

[believe]

Hemi-mom...Thanks for the book suggestion. I was actually debating going to the Christian store this weekend, they have some v-day lollipops that say "Jesus Love You and so do I", and I wasn't sure if I wanted to stop and get them. Now I have 2 reasons to go.

JC2, here are the lyrics to the song I told you about. The chorus is what gets me the most.

Screen Door/ Rich Mullins

It's about as useless as
A screen door on a submarine
Faith without works baby
It just ain't happenin'
One is your left hand
One is your right
It'll take two strong arms
To hold on tight
Some folks cut off their nose
Just to spite their face
I think you need some works to show
For your alleged faith

Well there's a difference you know
B'tween having faith and playing make believe
One will make you grow
The other one just make you sleep
Talk about it
But I really think you oughtta
Take a leap off of the ship
Before you claim to walk on water
Faith without works is like a song you can't sing
It's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine

Faith comes from God
And every word that He breathes
He lets you take it to your heart
So you can give it hands and feet
It's gotta be active if it's gonna be alive
You gotta put it into practice
Otherwise....

It's about as useless as a screen door
On a submarine
Faith without works, baby
It just ain't happenin'
One is your right hand, one is your left
It's your light, your guide
Your life and your breath

Faith without works is like a song you can't sing
It's about as useless as a screen door
On a submarine
-Repeat-

Jill!!!! It's good to see ya girl! <B>We Believe in God</B> is one of my favorite Amy Grant songs. Just really down to the basics, you know? It's what this life is about. I'm so glad that things went well with your nephew's baptism. Thank you for praying for me. I'm glad you like that song from the other day. It really means a lot to me as well. The name of it is <B>Life of Love</B>. It is written by David Gate, and it is on the CD titled "Soul Survivor: undignified (Live worship from the UK). Just an awesome CD!

Believe, thanks for singing <B>Screen Door</B> for me! What a great message that song has. It really has such a great visual to really bring the point home that just as a screendoor is useless on a submarine, so is our faith without any action behind it! Great song!

Hey Stamper!

Many men will drink the rain
And turn and thank the clouds
Many men will hear You speak
They will never turn around

I will not forget You
You are my God my King
With a thankful heart I bring my offering
And my sacrifice is not what You can give
But what I alone can give to You

A greatful heart I give
A thankful prayer I pray
A wild dance I dance before You
A loud song I sing
A huge bell I ring
A life of praise I live before You

Many men will pour their gold
And serve a thing that shines
Many men will read Your words
But they will never change their minds

I will not forget You
You are my God my King
With a thankful heart I bring my offering
And my sacrifice is not what You can give
But what I alone can give to You

A greatful heart I give
A thankful prayer I pray
A wild dance I dance before You
A loud song I sing
A huge bell I ring
A life of praise I live before You</Font>

We will give ourselves no rest
'Til Your kingdom comes on earth
We've positioned watchmen on the walls
Now our praise will flow like tears
For You've shared Your heart with us
God of heaven on our knees we fall

Come down in power
Reveal Your heart again
Come hear our cries
The tears that plead for rain

We're knockin
Knockin on the door of heaven
We're crying
Crying for this generation
We're praying for Your name to be known in all of the earth
We're watching
Watching on the walls to see You
We're looking
Looking for a time of breakthrough
We're praying for Your word to bear fruit
In all of the earth
In all of the earth</Font>
