Hi Sheree', Jeanne and Phil! Good to see all of you! Phil, I'm continuing to pray for your family and your vacation.

Praise You With The Dance/Casting Crowns

I will sing to the Lord
And I will lift my voice
For You have heard my cry

I will sing to the Lord
And I will lift my hands
For You have brought me out of the pit
For You have brought me out of the pit

And I'll sing glory, hallelujah
I lift Your name on high
And I'll sing holy, 'cause You're worthy
I'll praise You with the dance

And I'll sing glory, hallelujah
I lift Your name on high
And I'll sing holy, 'cause You're worthy
I'll praise You with the dance

I will praise You with the dance
I will praise You with the dance

Hi Everyone!

It's good to see you all!

Last night I stayed over night at my really good friends house and we watched Passion of the Christ movie. It was really hard on me to watch it, I did a lot of crying and in some parts I had to close my eye's( and it took my friend to tell me to close my eye's). I think it helped me to watch it at my really good friends house, I am very glad that I watched it.

I forgot to add something, I also had a hard time getting to sleep last night after watching the movie. But after awhile I just brain washed myself to think of something else(I thought of my Disney World trip), so I could go to sleep. Then in the morning my good friend and I talked about it.

Hey everybody!

Sarah, I'm glad you had a chance to watch the movie. I haven't seen it, but I heard it is quite powerful.

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin

O love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song

When years of time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men, who here refuse to pray
On rocks and hills and mountains call
God’s love so sure, shall still endure
All measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race
The saints’ and angels’ song

O love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky

O love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song</Font>


The writer of this song does such an amazing job of trying to describe the love of God.



<I>I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:17-19</I>

Those who know Your name will trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You.
Psalm 9:10

<Font color="darkblue">
I am blessed among the people
I am blessed among the nations
I am blessed because I am loved by You
I am loved and highly favored
Saved by the grace of a mighty Savior
I am blessed because I am loved by You

No weapon formed against me will prosper
No curse can ever take His promise from me
When hope is gone and the darkness has fallen
I will still believe
I will still believe

I'm gonna rise up
I'm gonna rise up
I'm gonna rise up and call myself blessed
I'm gonna rise up
I'm gonna rise up
I'm gonna rise up and call myself blessed

<Font color="darkblue">
I want the joy of the Lord to come down
I want the joy of the Lord to fall now
I want the joy of the Lord in my life
I want the joy of the Lord to lift me
I want the joy of the Lord to change me
I want the joy of the Lord in my life

It's time I started dancing over all my graves
It's time I give You oh my God the highest praise
It's time to lift my voice
I'm gonna beg for this blessing to fall</Font>

well, for better or worse, we have changed everything around and now we fly into orl tomorrow night, arrive about 11:15, just decided to get in before it got worse.

this morning after reading many opinions on the boards, i made ressies at cs for fri., just to be in middle of state and ready to go to whereever they take us to load the ship, and i had a email special rate of $79. well this afternoon the quality suites in pc called to say that they were evacing and canceling our ressies there, no surprise there, but then we decided to come in early and i called back to get thurs res and had heard that nothing was available from fri thru sun, well they told me that they had nothing for thurs. i called back later to check on if there would be cancels and how to find out about them, are there 6 pm guars, etc., and gave the girl ny conf #, and she said that we were a group and she would be back. so she came back and had a guy with her who said he was with magic gatherings, so he had three rooms for us and we are in ptl.

my friends couldn't believe it, one said i knew you had connections, i said well someone is throwing pd on us. i know my fil is happy that he won't have the 11 of us sleeping on his floor for the night. :rotfl

Fur, I love the song you posted about the Love of God. Very Powerful.
Sarah, good to hear you watched the movie... I will too, one of these days. I am so very aware of Christ's sacrifice but this will really bring it home, I am sure.
Pogo... GOD BLESS YOU ALL ON YOUR TRIP!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Morning all!

Sarah, I'm glad you got to see the movie. I know it will probably have a big effect on my emotions when I see it as well. It's hard enough sometimes just to think about the sacrifice that was made for our forgiveness and salvation. Seeing it portrayed in such a real and vivid way I'm sure will be difficult but will increase my love and faithfulness to Jesus even more.

Fur, great songs and scriptures! The Love of God is one of my favorites!

Phil, you guys stay safe and have fun!

Hey Jeanne!

Lovely Lord/Petra

You are filled with compassion and mercy and grace
With Your banner of love over me
I am longing to see You one day face to face
And to be with You endlessly
Lord, how lovely You are to me

Lovely Lord
You are all to me
Lovely Lord
Full of purity
Worthy of honor and majesty
Lord, how lovely You are to me

You are bright as the sunrise and fairest of all
Unto You all the glory will be
You are God of creation and Lord of my life
I will worship You faithfully
Lord, how lovely You are to me

Lovely Lord
You are all to me
Lovely Lord
Full of purity
Worthy of honor and majesty

And be thankfully eternally
Lord, how lovely You are to me

Lovely Lord
You are all to me
Lovely Lord
Full of purity
Worthy of honor and majesty
Lord, how lovely You are to me

Lord, how lovely You are to me

Never Been Unloved/ Michael W. Smith

I have been unfaithful
I have been unworthy
I have been unrighteous
And I have been unmerciful

I have been unreachable
I have been unteachable
I have been unwilling
And I have been undesirable

And sometimes I have been unwise
I've been undone by what I'm unsure of
But because of you
And all that you went through
I know that I have never been unloved

I have been unbroken
I have been unmended
I have been uneasy
And I've been unapproachable

I've been unemotional
I've been unexceptional
I've been undecided
And I have been unqualified

Unaware--I have been unfair
I've been unfit for blessings from above
But even I can see
The sacrifice You made for me
To show that I have never been unloved

It's because of you
And all that you went through
I know that I have never been unloved.

Power in His Blood/ FFH


I lie awake hoping that I will hear
Your voice inside my ear
Telling me you're near
But I know I'll find my precious peace of mind
When you speak to me just in time
Let me know you still care


(Chorus)


There's power in his blood
Forgiveness in His hands
A peace in His love that we can't understand
There's joy in His spirit
There's power in his blood
Forgiveness in His hands
A peace in His love that we can't understand
There's joy in His spirit
Sufficient and full there's power in His blood
His love is all we need
There's joy in the spirit of the Lord


You are the one who has made me complete
Now I'm kneeling at your feet
Knowing only you can lead me home
I'll stand through it all
Waiting on Your call
Knowing that you hear my every prayer


(Repeat Chorus)


I know there's strength in His everlasting word
And I know I'll find my love in His arms


(Repeat Chorus)

There Will Never be Another/ Amy Grant


Chorus:
There will never be another who will love me like You
There will never be another who could hold me, mold me
There will never be another who could love me purely
No there will never be another who has loved me like You.


And I know that there will never be another love
Who could ever be the love that You are
Cause You had so much to lose but still You gave it up for Your scars- But that's the way you are.
And if I spent my life attending universities,
Educated in the wisdom of men
And if I could even quote a guy like Socrates,
even then I couldn't comprehend.
Repeat Chorus
And I know I'll never understand this mystery
If I live to be a hundred and three
How You died to live the love You give to me
Repeat Chorus
There will never be another who has loved me like You.

I'm Speechless/ Avalon


Some can write a sonnet
To describe in silvery words
The rising and the setting of the sun
Some can paint a picture
In shades of vibrant color
It almost looks like heaven when they're done
Lord, when I try to speak from my heart
I don't know where to start
When it comes to You I'm speechless
Nothing holds a candle to the wonder of Your love
I'm amazed by Your grace
Your forgiving embrace
And I'm finding words could never be enough
I'm speechless
I've tried to write the song
I've searched my heart for phrases
But they only catch a glimpse of all You are
If I lived a thousand lifetimes
I'd never come close to saying
Enough about the hope that I found in Your arms
'Cause when I try to speak from my heart
I don't know where to start.

What, Sarah, no MercyMe? Guess you don't want me to come out and sing with you. Just kidding! Hope you have a wonderful day, and I want to say...almost Happy Birthday! Hugs to you.


Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Oh my soul rejoice
Take joy my King in what You hear
May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear</Font>

Sorry Jeanne for the no MercyMe songs, but I do want you to come out and sing with me( I love it when you do)! And thank you! Hugs to you too.

Hey Jen, I love that song!

Just got this in an email... hope it is okay to share!

Mary had a little lamb,
His fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go.
He followed her to school each day,
T'wasn't even in the rule
It made the children laugh and play,
To have a Lamb at school.
And then the rules all changed one day,
Illegal it became;
To bring the Lamb of God to school,
Or even speak His Name ;

Every day got worse and worse,
And days turned into years.
Instead of hearing children laugh,
We heard gun shots and tears.
What must we do to stop the crime,
That's in our schools today?
Let's let the Lamb come back to school,
And teach our kids to pray

 

[Otto's Doll]

Take this world from me
I don't need it anymore
I am finally free
My heart is spoken for

Oh and I praise you
Oh and I worship you...

[Chorus]
Covered by your love divine
Child of the risen Lord
To hear you say "This one's mine"
My heart is spoken for

Now I have a peace
I've never known before
I find myself complete
My heart is spoken for

Oh and I praise you
Oh and I worship you...

[Chorus]

By the power of the cross
You've taken what was lost
And made it fully yours
And I have been redeemed
By you that spoke to me
Now I am spoken for
