I've shared how blogging has opened up so many doors for me. It has led to countless connections and new friends. I've been able to share my life, my faith and family, but I also have learned about
your struggles and hardships too. Lately I'm
overwhelmed by the amount of letters and prayer requests I've been receiving. My heart is burdened by the stories of cancer, job loss, big moves, spiritual challenges, financial burdens, sickness, depression etc... It makes my worries and fears seem so
small in comparison.
I find myself lacking in the advice and wisdom department. I want to have all the answers, but my only advice is to pray. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we serve a BIG GOD. He is able. He is willing. Just lean into Him and trust. Thank you so much for confiding in me and sharing your lives with me. If this blog is for nothing more than to be an encouragement and to lift others up in prayer than so be it...what an honor!
My honey shared a song with me the other day at the gym. When I heard it I immediately felt the anointing. With all the troubles that swirl around us...these lives that are sometimes hard and imperfect, we have one thing to be most grateful for... that we are ALIVE.
*Mute my playlist at the bottom, then Click here to go to GS Megaphone's myspace page. Click on the ALIVE song to listen. It's such a powerful song. I hope it speaks to you as much as it did to me.
Alive by GS Megaphone
For some reason poor
I felt depressed As I talked to the guy with the hole in his chest
Where his heart used to be
He's dying from the inside out
Why, why?
'cause a youth without God
Is like a painting in a world with no light
Oh, Oh
So sad to see
He's barely alive
Gonna live my life like I was
70 yesterday and
God let me go back to relive
All my younger days
One thing, for sure, this time I'm
Gonna do
Man I'm not gonna wait til my life's half-spent
Before I give my life to You
I'm just so glad to be (x3)
I'm glad to be
ALIVE
Jesus when I'm with You
Every next day is the
The greatest day I've ever known
With God I'm alive
I've seen God take the craziest storms
And turn them into the bluest skies
But before He could change my world
I had to give Him and make Him my life
And I just gotta say
Have a blessed day.
