Why do we do the things we do
How can we sing when there seems no reason to
How do we smile when there's not much to smile about
When the world is down who are we to stand and shout
They wonder why we do the things we do

It's all because of this
It's all because of this
We've tasted love, tasted hope, tasted holiness
It's all because of this
It's all because of this
We've tasted love, tasted hope, tasted holiness



And they wonder why, we do the things we do

Unto Thee Oh Lord
(Unto Thee Oh Lord)
Do I lift up my soul
(Do I lift up my soul)
Unto Thee Oh Lord
(Unto Thee Oh Lord)
Do I lift up my soul
Oh my God
I trust in Thee
Let me not be ashamed
Let not my enemies
Triumph over me

I was singing this song earlier and I went and read the portion of scripture that it comes from and it just meant so much to me today so I thought I would share it with you.

Psalm 25: 1-21

1 To you, O LORD , I lift up my soul;
2 in you I trust, O my God.
Do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame,
but they will be put to shame
who are treacherous without excuse.

4 Show me your ways, O LORD ,
teach me your paths;
5 guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
6 Remember, O LORD , your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you are good, O LORD .

8 Good and upright is the LORD ;
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
9 He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.
10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
for those who keep the demands of his covenant.
11 For the sake of your name, O LORD ,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD ?
He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.
13 He will spend his days in prosperity,
and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 The LORD confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.
15 My eyes are ever on the LORD ,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied;
free me from my anguish.
18 Look upon my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.
19 See how my enemies have increased
and how fiercely they hate me!
20 Guard my life and rescue me;
let me not be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope is in you.

Wow. What an amazing prayer.

 

[Princess Michelle]

When the battle makes me weary,
it seems that I've lost ground,
it's so hard to hear Your voice, Lord
with distractions all around.
I try to lift my hands
to give You praise,
but then a spirit of heaviness
tries to shield Your face.
So, I'm sayin' breathe into me...

Breathe into me, oh Lord
the breath of life
(so that my spirit)
so that my spirit would be whole
(and my soul, yeah)
and my soul made right.
(Breathe)
Breathe into me, oh Lord
(ev'ryday)
day by day,
(so that my heart is pure)
so that my heart is pure before you
(always)
always
(always)
always

Unto Thee, oh Lord,
do I lift up my soul.
It's only by Your hand
that I can be made whole.
So Lord, breathe on me
and revive my spirit within
and I'll never be the same
if you breathe.

Breathe into me, oh Lord
the breath of life
(so that my spirit)
so that my spirit would be whole
(and my soul, yeah)
and my soul made right.
(Breathe)
Breathe into me, oh Lord
(ev'ryday)
day by day,
(so that my heart is pure)
so that my heart is pure before you
(always)
always
(always)
always

Condemnation tries to hold me
like a prisoner in chains
and the weight of my burdens
is callin' out my name.
That's when I lift up my voice
to worship you
because I know
you promised you would wash me,
Jesus, wash me white as snow.

Unto Thee, oh Lord,
do I lift up my soul.
It's only by Your hand
that I can be made whole.
So Lord, breathe on me
and revive my spirit within
and I'll never be the same
if you breathe.

I will never be the same,
I will never be the same.

Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore, I will set my face like flint and I know I will not be put to shame.
Isaiah 50:7

There is a mansion in heaven
Where the King of Glory He dwells
And there is a banqueting table
That the Father and His Son have prepared

Where angels bow
And elders throw their crowns
All the beasts of the field and the birds of the air
They will shout

Fill this house with Your glory Lord
Fill this place with Your praise
Fill this house with Your presence
Ancient of Days

There is a mansion in heaven
Here the King of Glory He dwells
I come to the banqueting table
That the Father and His Son have prepared

And I bow down
And I throw down my crown
With the beasts of the field and the birds of the air
I will shout

Fill my life with Your glory Lord
Fill my heart with Your love
Fill my soul with Your presence
I can't get enough

Fill my life with Your glory Lord
Fill my heart with Your love
Fill my soul with Your presence
I can't get enough

I can't get enough
I want more of You Jesus</Font>

 

[Hemi-mom]

Jilly- just popping on to say during a class break!

Missing everyone......busy, busy, busy... ...now you see me now you don't!

 

[JC2]

Jill!!!!!! It's good to see you! And you are missed

 

[Princess Michelle]

JILLY!!!! We do miss you so much! Two more days of class left! We'll expect some singing in celebration! LOL



Here I am waiting
Abide in me I pray
Here I am longing
For You

Hide me in Your love
Bring me to my knees
May I know Jesus
More and more

Come live in me
All my life
Take over
Come breathe in me
I will rise
On eagles wings

Holy Spirit rain down
Rain down
Oh comforter and friend
How we need Your touch again

Holy Spirit rain down
Rain down
Let Your power fall
Let Your voice be heard
Come and change our hearts
As we stand on Your word
Holy Spirit rain down

No eye has seen
No ear has heard
No mind can know
What God has in store
Open up heaven
Open it wide
Over Your church
And over our lives

Holy Spirit rain down
Rain down
Oh comforter and friend
How we need Your touch again

Holy Spirit rain down
Rain down
Let Your power fall
Let Your voice be heard
Come and change our hearts
As we stand on Your word
Holy Spirit rain down

Rain down, rain down
Rain down, rain down
Rain down, rain down
Rain down, rain down

 

[Princess Michelle]

All I once held dear, built my life upon
All this world reveres, and wars to own
All I once thought gain I have counted loss
Spent and worthless now, compared to this

Knowing you, Jesus
Knowing you, there is no greater thing
You're my all, you're the best
You're my joy, my righteousness
And I love you, Lord

Now my heart's desire is to know you more
To be found in you and known as yours
To possess by faith what I could not earn
All-surpassing gift of righteousness

Knowing you, Jesus
Knowing you, there is no greater thing
You're my all, you're the best
You're my joy, my righteousness
And I love you, Lord

Oh, to know the power of your risen life
And to know You in Your sufferings
To become like you in your death, my Lord
So with you to live and never die

Knowing you, Jesus
Knowing you, there is no greater thing
You're my all, you're the best
You're my joy, my righteousness
And I love you, Lord

 

[JC2]

<Font color="darkblue">
Come Holy Spirit we need You
Come sweet Spirit we pray
Come in Your strength and Your power
Come in Your own special way

We need You more
More than yesterday
We need You more
More than words can say
We need You more
Than ever before
We need You more
We need You Lord

Guess what everyone??????????







I passed my one TEST today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But I still have one more test to take tomorrow and if I pass it, I can go out and buy my white uniform that I get to wear when we go work in a Nursing Home for 4 days! I am really nervous for my test tomorrow, because we have to do things in front of two people for them to give us a passing grade.

Hey Sis, how did your PT go today? I was saying my prayers for you and I was thinking of you today. ((hugs)) And thank you for that wonderful prayer, it really meant a lot to me today too. Love the songs you have been singing!

Hey Jen! How is everything going for you?

Hey Jilly, It's soooooo good to see you! I hope your class is going good for you, I have been saying my prayers for you. ((hugs))

Breaking My Fall/ Jeremy Camp


So easily I fall, so easily you reach your hand out
So quickly will I drown, in all the pools of all my reason
So easily will I fear, so easily will your peace surpass me
So quickly will I trust, in anything I think is worthy

How many times you make the waves calm down
So I won't be afraid now
I say you're breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I suppose to do

How precious are your thoughts
The way that you think about me
How faithful are your ways
I always feel you grace abounding
How quickly will I call
How quickly will you answer my cry
How carefully will you bring everything I need in my life

How many times you make the waves calm down
So I won't be afraid now
I say you're breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I suppose to do

This narrow road I'm walking,
This world will I try to draw
Your work will help me fight it
With you I'll face it all

I say you're breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I suppose to do

 

[JC2]

YAY SARAH!!!!!!!
I am sooo proud of you! I knew you could do it!

As for tomorrow, I remember those skills tests all too well. I had them in CNA school and nursing school. I feared them! Then one day it hit me. Just act like the teachers aren't even there. Don't think about them. Literally realize that God is holding your hand, guiding it and will bring everything back to your remembrance that you need! It's just you and God. So go tomorrow in confidence and Shine!

Take My Life/ Jeremy Camp


Here i am before you now
I'm like a child reaching out
Here i am i'm giving all i can
Breaking my pride I feel i'm through
Shattered inside i run to you
And now i give it all to you

Take my life take my mind
take my soul take my will
I am yours now, and i give it all to you

Laying all down before my king
Offering all my everything
Laying all down before the one i serve
I can understand the reasons why
You came on this earth and died
And now i give it all to you

I can feel you on my shoulder
So I know that you are there
I can see you paint my picture
The beauty is all there

 

[zen1]

Thanks Jen! And I will do and remember what you said.

 

[Princess Michelle]

That's wonderful Sarah! Way to go!!!! Jennifer gave you some great advice for tomorrow and you know we'll all be praying for you. You're gonna do great!

PT went well, thanks for asking.

 

[Otto's Doll]

Oh, Moving Buddy, this one is for you. Love and Hugs, and I know God will be with you tomorrow!

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
