Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to let all of you know that I am feeling a lot better today! And today was so much fun too! My parents and I went and saw the 15 Mickey( for Mickey's 75th Birthday) Stautes that they brought here to MN and let me tell you that they are so cool looking! My dad and I took pictures of all of them! Then tonight I had a wonderful dinner with my one friend and all of the people that I had my weekend with, it was so nice to see everyone again and be able to talk to each other again! My day today was awesome and very blessed!

I hope all of you have had a blessed weekend as well! You guy's are just like family to me! Love you all!

Testify to Love

All the colors of the rainbow
All of voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a whitness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the Hope in every heart will speak what love has done

The Move

Time is here
Time is now
I am listening to the welcome stirring sound
Spirit's fire
Raining Down
In a dry and barren land new life is found

All around the world I see it coming
Fanned by the Rushing Wind
All around the a Nation's forming
It's a revolution wispering

Rising from the ashes is a flame
A million hearts rekindled by the name
Looks like love's alive (The Move)
Looks like hope's revived
Rising from the ashes is a flame

Need to pray
For the touch
Knowing heaven's hand will move us toward the flame of love

All around the world I see it burning
Fanned by the Rushing Wind
All around the world see heart's returning
A generation's born again

Pray God will move you
Pray God will touch you
Pray for the strength to be weak
Pray He will lead you
Pray He will guide you
Pray very hard for your peace

 

[Otto's Doll]

I don't know how to say exactly how I feel
And I can't begin to tell you what your love has meant
I'm lost for words
Is there a way to show the passion in my heart
Can I express how truly great I think you are
My dearest friend
Lord, this is my desire
To pour my love on You

Chorus:
Like oil upon your feet
Like wine for you to drink
Like water from my heart
I pour my love on you
If praise is like perfume
I'll lavish mine on you
Till every drop is gone
I'll pour my love on you

Verse 2:
Is there a way to show the passion in my heart
Can I express how truly great I think you are
My dearest friend
Lord, this is my desire
To pour my love on you

Chorus:
Like oil upon your feet
Like wine for you to drink
Like water from my heart
I pour my love on you
If praise is like perfume
I'll lavish mine on you
Till every drop is gone
I'll pour my love on you

Chorus:
Like oil upon your feet
Like wine for you to drink
Like water from my heart
I pour my love on you
If praise is like perfume
I'll lavish mine on you
Till every drop is gone

Pour my love on you
Yeah

Chorus:
Like oil upon your feet
Like wine for you to drink
Like water from my heart
I pour my love on you
If praise is like perfume
I'll lavish mine on you
Till every drop is gone

Chorus:
Like oil upon your feet
Like wine for you to drink
Like water from my heart
I pour my love on you
If praise is like perfume
I'll lavish mine on you
Till every drop is gone
I'll pour my love on you

Pour my love on you
Yeah, yeah

Jeanne, I love that song!

I'm apparently on a Jaci Velasquez kick lately...love how she "redid" this one...

You are the reason
For blue in the sky
Yes, you are the reason why
Snow covers winter
And melts into spring
And rivers meet the sea

God is here for you
And you were made for him
He'll give you more of everything
Cause he has always loved you
His promises are true
So true if you

Chorus:
Come as you are
Don't change a thing
Open your heart
He'll walk right in
Come as you are
No alibis
His love for you
Will never die

There is a heaven
Open your eyes
There you have no disguise
He'll never leave you
No need to hide
He's always by your side

If you just believe
There is a way you'll see
It's just one step to eternity
And he will always love you
This promise will be true
So true if you

 

[FonFon]

Trust, trust in the Lord
Lean not on your own understanding
In all, all of your ways
Acknowledge him
He'll make your path straight

You'll be my God for life
I'll walk by Your side
With your hand in mine
I'll go where You lead me

Trust, trust in the Lord
Lean not on your own understanding
In all, all of your ways
Acknowledge him
He'll make your path straight

My eyes can only see
The ground beneath my feet
your dreams are greater
Your ways are higher
O Lord please show me

Trust, trust in the Lord
Lean not on your own understanding
In all, all of your ways
Acknowledge him
He'll make your path straight

Bless my thoughts
My dreams my imaginations
Step by step
Your delight, Your creation

Courtney, Welcome!! Glad you found us and love the songs!

Jilly, Your mom has been in my prayers. Let us know how she is.

I have a big praise to share! many of you know that our kids go to a Christian school and quite often I struggle to figure out how we will pay the tuition. But I know that if God wants them there, He will provide the $$$. He has always been so faithful and the different ways the $$$ has provided is always so neat to see! Well, this year is no different. I had no idea where the funds would come from, except that they would come from God. My parents bought a house to renovate and resell and they hired us to help work on it. Two weeks ago I had enough to pay the first quarterly payment and the DH got sick and missed work. I had to use some of that money to pay other bills. This weekend though we were able to work enough to make it up and I can send the payment today....almost on time ! So, one quarter down, 3 to go!

More later!!

Forgot something!

Kim, tell me about Windsor Pilates. I have seen the ads on tv and wonder if it is really good. Tell what you like and don't like and what benefits you see from it. I think it might be something I would like. I need something that is low impact for the moment. I have tried Tae Bo....that would probably kill me these days!

Thanks!

sorry to be so off topic

Morning All!

Jeanne, Courtney and Sarah, I love all the songs you guys posted!

Tasha! Praising God for His provision for your family! Woo Hoo, He is awesome!

This Time/4HIM

What is this
Gently piercing my heart
Why is this aching so familiar
I must confess
I long for You more
Strange as it seems
I’m faithlessly bored
Lord, You know I’m tired of
playing the prodigal

‘Cause it’s been so long
Since my words broke through
It’s been so long
Since I found a way
to touch You

But maybe this time
These words I pray
Will make their way to You
So I’ll wait a little longer
Maybe this time
I’ll trust You
For the answers that I need
And resign myself to believeing
You love me
This time

Your reply sounds
Of mercy & peace
This is why I’ll wait
For You, Lord
One whisper of love is well
Worth the wait
And so I’ll keep praying
Watching & waiting
For one word from You, Lord
Hear the prayer from this prodigal

‘Cause it’s been so long
Since my words broke through
It’s been so long
Since I found a way
to touch You

But maybe this time
These words I pray
Will make their way to You
So I’ll wait a little longer
Maybe this time
I’ll trust You
For the answers that I need
And resign myself to believeing
You love me
This time

Good morning everyone! Hope the sun is shining and all is happy in your worlds. As my old pastor says, "Yea God!"

All I Need/Bethany Dillon

When the day is done
And there's no one else around
While I'm lying here in bed
You're in my heart, You're in my head
You're all I need, You're all I need
There are a million voices
Calling out my name
But You're the One I want to hear
So make the others disappear

You are all I need when I'm surrounded
You are all I need if I'm by myself
You fill me when I'm empty
There is nothing else
You're all I need

When the morning comes
And Your mercy is renewed
There's a fire in my bones
I'm not afraid to go alone
You're all I need
You're all I need
The sun on my face
I hear You whisper loud
You're still the God that opens seas
Every flower, even me
You're all I need
You're all I need

I'm drawn to everything that You do
Nothing compares with You

Stamper,

I have a big praise to share! many of you know that our kids go to a Christian school and quite often I struggle to figure out how we will pay the tuition. But I know that if God wants them there, He will provide the $$$. He has always been so faithful and the different ways the $$$ has provided is always so neat to see! Well, this year is no different. I had no idea where the funds would come from, except that they would come from God. My parents bought a house to renovate and resell and they hired us to help work on it. Two weeks ago I had enough to pay the first quarterly payment and the DH got sick and missed work. I had to use some of that money to pay other bills. This weekend though we were able to work enough to make it up and I can send the payment today....almost on time ! So, one quarter down, 3 to go!

You know Stamper, DH and I have struggled with the same dilema. Our DD (6) goes to a private Christian School and it's very expensive. DH and I had contemplated taking her out of the school because of the expense. We felt as if we were paying for college. When Amani graduated from Kindergarten in May we did not even enroll her for the 2004-2005 school year. All summer we just kept looking for another school to put her into. Plus the thought of her tution on top of DS daycare was a scary thought to us. I'm in the Air Force and as you well know, people in the military do not get paid alot. DH does good with his job, but, man the thought is scary.

My God is an awesome God. Here's why, I went to the school last Friday to pay off the balance and to pick up her transcripts to transfer her to another Christian School in the area. Well I got to the school and the thought of transfering her never entered into my mind. I could not even tell you why or how. I was focused on getting her into school for some strange reason. I totally forgot about my self planned mission. When I got out of my car, I picked up her reenrollment papers for the upcoming year that DH and I had already filled out earlier this year. After paying what we owed, I found my self at the registrars office paying for her registration and book fees. The thought of transfering her did not occur to me until after I left the school and called DH to tell him I got all of her paper work. It was very wierd. But God had been speaking to DH and I the entire time telling us that Amani will stay in her current school and not to take her out, this is the school he wanter her in. Amani gets top notch education in this school, and I guess the thought of forking over $600 (plus) for her tution a month was in God's plan for us. He told us it will all work out, it's not what we want to do, but what he wants us to do. Amani right now is sitting in class, as today is the first day of school. Dh and I have never felt so good about an expensive decision. The payoff is priceless.

It use to be darkness without You
I lived my life in blindness
Now I'm found

And I'll sing, sing
I love You so
I'll sing
Because the world can't take away Your love

You found me in weakness, broken
You came to me in kindness
And now I live

And I'll sing, sing
I love You so
I'll sing
Because the world can't take away Your love

I'll sing, sing
I love You so
I'll sing
Because the world can't take away Your love

I'll give my life for You Lord
For all You've done I'll give my life for You Lord
For all You've done I'll give my life for You Lord
For all You've done I'll give my life for You Lord

And I'll sing, sing
I love You so
I'll sing
Because the world can't take away Your love</Font>

Saved my Your mercy
Found in Your grace
Totally surrended to Your embrace
And there's nothing more than You

See Your perfection
I'm lost in Your peace
Your faithfulness sings over me
And Your love is the light of my soul

And I lift my eyes to You
Creator of the world
And I stand in awe of You
Of Your glory
And I live to worship You
Son of God
King of Heaven

And the angels round Your throne
Cry out Holy to the One who is to come
King of saints, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah</Font>

Kim...woo hooo!!! So glad Amani is in the school God wants her in....it's a great feeling! We thankfully qualified for a grant from the school...not huge, but it helps! Without it, our bill would be close to $500/ month...and we are in rural Maine! We are a single paycheck family to boot...except that I babysit my niece for a small fee. God is soooo very good!

For the Lord will not reject His people; He will never forsake his inheritance.
When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, Your consolation brought joy to my soul.

Psalm 94: 14, 18, 19

God is soooooooo good! I feel very blessed, Loved and Cherished!

Forever In His Care

There was a time that I would fret
About the time that lies ahead
Until the time my Savior said
You are mine, never forget - so
Chorus
Why should I worry if it shines or rains
I'm safe and warm under His wing
I'm in no hurry for an earthly king
I'm forever in His care
Troubles come and troubles go
Can't change a thing by worrying so
I'm kissing goodbye to all my worldly woes
I'm forever in His care
He robes the meadow in flowers bright
He sees the sparrow fall
And though he leads me through the darkest night
I'm sheltered in His wings
Protected throught it all, so
Why should I worry if it shines or rains
I'm forever in His care
Repeat Chorus
