Hi Everyone!

is Back!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hey Jilly, I was just thinking about you the other day! How did your class go? I have been saying my prayers for you. And thank you for the hugs and prayers, here is a for you too.

Hi phil! You are as young as you feel, that's what always say. For me I sometimes feel like I am 4 years old again( this happens when I go to Disney World), when really I am 24 years old! LOL

Thank God for the blood
Thank God for the blood
Thank God for the blood
that washes white as snow

Hi guys!

Michelle, I may not have "run off to join the circus", but sometimes I feel like my live *is* a circus !!

Sarah, so sorry to read of your bad news. Hang in there sweet sister....God has a plan, you can be sure of that! Give the whole situation over to Him and let Him work it out. Really takes the pressure off of you!

 

[JC2]

Hey you guys! It's so good to see everyone. Thank you for the great songs!

I will bless the Lord forever
I will trust Him at all times
He has delivered me from all fear
He has set my feet upon a rock

I will not be moved
And I'll say of the Lord
You are my Shield
My Strength
My Portion
Deliverer
My Shelter
Strong Tower
My very present Help in time of need

Whom have I in heaven but You
There's none I desire besides You
You have made me glad
And I'll say of the Lord
You are my Shield
My Strength
My Portion
Deliverer
My Shelter
Strong Tower
My very present Help in time of need

Fur, you know I LOVE that song!!!!

Hey Tashy, this one's for you.

Reality/Newsboys

Mom and Dad,
I'm fine, how are you?
I have joined a small circus
that much is true.

I'm a litte malnourished,
but try to relax,
could you find a better photo for the milk carton backs?
Send money...

Run away
Where's your head?
Dreamer's dreams
are grounded!

In reality that comes from above,
God is calling,
there's no bigger love,
it's his reality that welcomes us back,
trust and obey,
there is no other way...

Mom and Dad,
I'm fair, how's life?
Lent the money you sent me to a clown with a knife,
my career as an acrobat hasn't begun,
but I'm busy giving blood and shoveling elephant dung.
Send Money...

Run away
why so tense?
Dreamer's dreams
will make sense...

In reality that comes from above,
God is calling,
there's no bigger love,
it's his reality that welcomes us back,
trust and obey,
there is no other way...

Run Away!!
Blowing smoke,
Your folks are worried
and going broke
after the fall,
it's a whole new episode,
Reality is a high road

In the Reality that comes from above,
God is calling,
there's no bigger love
his reality will welcome us back,
trust and obey, there is no other way!

In the reality that comes from above,
God is calling.

 

[Otto's Doll]

I'm Forever Grateful

You did not wait for me
to draw near to You
But You clothed Yourself
with frail humanity
You did not wait for me
to cry out to You
But You let me hear Your Voice
calling me
And I'm Forever Grateful to You
I'm Forever Grateful for The Cross
I'm Forever Grateful to You
That You came to seek and save the lost

 

[Princess Michelle]

I love that song Jeanne!

Thank you, Tasha. I have asked God to take my life in His hands and let Him lead me the awesome plan that He has for me. And I was under a lot, a lot and a lot of pressure before and now that I have given Him everything, the pressure is going away. Aug. 5-8, I have my Church weekend, so I am really looking foward to that( after all of what I have been going through).

Hey Jen, Sis and Jeanne!

Fingerprints Of God
Steven Curtis Chapman

I can see the tears filling your eyes
And I know where they're coming from
They're coming from a heart that's broken in two
By what you don't see
The person in the mirror
Doesn't look like a magazine
Oh but when I look at you
It's clear to me

[CHORUS]
That I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece that all creation
Quietly applauds
And you're covered with
The fingerprints of God

Never has there been and never again
Will there be another you
Fashioned by God's hand and perfectly planned
To be just who you are
And what He's been creating
Since the first beat of your heart
Is a living, breathing
Priceless work of art

[CHORUS]
And I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece that all creation
Quietly applauds
And you're covered with
The fingerprints of God

[BRIDGE]
Just look at you
You're a wonder in the making
And God's not through
In fact, He's just getting started!

[CHORUS]

 

[zen1]

I Will Be Here


Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear,
I will be here.

If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand and have no fear,
‘Cause I will be here.

CHORUS
I will be here when you feel like being quiet;
When you need to speak your mind, I will listen.
And I will be here when the laughter turns to crying;
Through the winning, losing, and trying, we’ll be together,
‘Cause I will be here.

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear,
I will be here.

As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years,
So I will be here.

CHORUS
I will be here, and you can cry on my shoulder;
When the mirror tells us we’re older, I will hold you.
And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty,
And tell you all the things you are to me;
I will be here.

I will be true to the promise I have made,
To you and to the One who gave you to me.

His Strength Is Perfect


I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength,
But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me;
No glory on my own,
Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know . . .

CHORUS
His strength is perfect when our strength is gone;
He’ll carry us when we can’t carry on.
Raised in His power, the weak become strong;
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect.

We can only know
The power that He holds
When we truly see how deep our weakness goes;
His strength in us begins
Where ours comes to an end.
He hears our humble cry and proves again . . .

(chorus)

I thought this would be a good song to sing just before I go to bed.

Still Listening/ Steven Curtis Chapman

I would lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
And though I never saw Him there
I believe He heard each prayer
For God was great, And God was good
And I knew if I spoke the words
He would be listening

The years can take us far away
From the simple child like faith
But I am longing to return
To the place where I first learned
That God is great, and God is good
So, I will speak the words

God, our Father, once again
I bow my head to pray
You are my Father and my friend, and You hear every word I say
A prayer for forgiveness, A desperate cry for help
Or praise flowing from a thankful heart
Like each time before, I come knowing You're still listening

I will never understand
How the words of mortal man
Can reach the ears of One so pure
And touch His heart, but they do I'm sure
For God is great, and God is good
And He is love

God, our Father, once again
I bow my head to pray
You are my Father and my friend, and You hear every word I say
A pray for forgiveness, A desperate cry for help
Or praise flowing from a thankful heart
Like each time before, I come knowing You're still listening
You're still listening

Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
Though I may not see You there
I believe You'll hear each prayer

 

[stamper]

Michelle LOL...love my song!

Sarah, glad you are feeling the pressure ease up a bit! At least you have a clue of what you want to do. I didn't at your age(or younger actually...when I could have done something with myself ). Now that I'm old (compared to some of you young pups that is ) I wish I could have settled on some sort of plan for my life way back when. But really, I had no clue what I would have like to do with my life. Ahhh....maybe someday.

What If His People Prayed by Casting Crowns

What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captives free
And not let satan have one more

What if the church, for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates

Chorus:
What if His people prayed
And all who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face
And Turn from their own way

And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day

What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do

He said that they would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear
If only we would pray

If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray

 

[stamper]

This is one of DD's fave songs from my Casting Crowns CD

American Dream

All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul
But he's moving on full steam
He's chasing the American dream
And he's gonna give his family the finer things

Not this time son I've no time to waste
Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play
And then he slips into his new BMW
And drives farther and farther and farther away

So He works all day and tries to sleep at night
He says things will get better;
Better in time

And he works and he builds with his own two hands
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

His American Dream is beginning to seem
More and more like a nightmare
With every passing day
"Daddy, can you come to my game?"
"Oh Baby, please don't work late."
Another wasted weekend
And they are slipping away

'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
He tells them things will get better
It'll just take a little more time

He used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins"
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end
I'll take a shack on the rock
Over a castle in the sand
Now he works all day and cries alone at night
It's not getting any better
Looks like he's running out of time
'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands
And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

All they really wanted was You
All they really wanted was You
All they really wanted was You

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts.
Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the Lord's renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed."

Isaiah 55:6-13</Font>

Woo Hoo!!! SCC from Sarah, Casting Crowns from Stampy and Fur bringing forth the amazing Word of God! Just the things I needed to come here and see this afternoon.

Sarah, I was going to post some SCC songs yesterday and never got around to it, did you read my mind????

Tash, I was driving home from PT today and I heard Who AM I on the radio, I still can't hear it without thinking of you and I sing it at the top of my lungs too!

Fur! What an amazing portion of scripture, thanks so much for posting it.

Now I think I'll sing the SCC song that I never sang yesterday! Ooooh, the last verse even ties in with the scripture Fur posted, perfect!

Hiding Place/SCC

In the distance I can see the storm clouds coming my way,
And I need to find a shelter
Before it starts to rain,
So I turn and run to you Lord;
You're the only place to go,
Where unfailing love surrounds me
When I need it most.

You're my hiding place;
Safe in your embrace,
I'm protected from the storm that rages
When the waters rise,
And I run to hide;
Lord, in You I find my hiding place.

I'm not asking You to take away
My troubles, Lord,
'Cause it's through the stormy weather
I learn to trust You more.
So I thank You for Your promise;
I have come to know
Your unfailing love surrounds me
When I need it most.

You're my hiding place;
Safe in your embrace,
I'm protected from the storm that rages
When the waters rise,
And I run to hide;
Lord, in You I find my hiding place.

So let Your people seek You
While You may be found,
'Cause You're our only refuge
When the rain comes pouring down.

LOL, yep, I can read your mind! Plus I know you all to well, Sis!

Sis, How did your PT go today? And I love the song you posted too!

Tasha, Great songs you sang!

Thanks Jen, for posting that wonderful scripture!

 

[Princess Michelle]

It went well, I think she was trying to kill me today but I managed to survive! LOL

I made the mistake of telling her I was seeing slight improvement which made her eyes dance with delight and gave her the red light to bring on the torture. LOL

She's super nice though, she knows that I need to be pushing it a little harder so she's keeping me on my toes. It's all good. She's gonna have me feeling better in no time.
