Praise Him and Worship Him In Song

 
 
You Laid Down Your Life So That I Would Be Set Free! 
What Brings The Chaos Back Into Order? 
The King of Glory! 
Who Rules The Nations? 
The King of Glory! 
This Is Amazing Grace
This IS Unfailing Love
That You Would Take My Place
That You Would Bear My Cross
You Lay Down Your Life
That I Would Be Set Free
Jesus All You've Done For Me
Worthy IS The Lamb Who Was Slain
Worthy IS The King Who Conquered The Grave
Phil Wickham
This Is Amazing Grace
 
Listening to Christian music is so uplifting
Not sure if you listen to it at all
But I took a challenge on my local radio 
about 4 years ago to try it for 30 days
and I haven't changed the station since! 
The only other music I listen to is 
Michael Buble and that type of stuff
(you can dance so well to that stuff) 
But what we put in our minds
reflects who we are.
(What goes in comes out) 
If I listen to stuff that swears all the time
Talks about things that I don't want to do
Let alone my son or husband to do
Why would I want songs about it coming into my home and car?
By listening to Christian music 
I am bringing Christ into my home, car and life~ my heart

After my beloved Brother-in-law died
I had a hard time with some of the songs and would turn the dial down
until I knew the song was over. 
That didn't last to long, only a few weeks. 
It was to hard. 
And it was a safety issue, 
I didn't want to be driving and bawling my eyes out! 
I'm better now
Now God speaks to me through those songs. 
The one above is a catching tune. 
God set down HIS life so that I may have mine. 
That amazes me. 
 
I wonder, If asked, would I set my life down for someone? 
I want to say yes, but would I really? 
Hope I never have to find out. 
But I sure am happy I believe in a Christ who died for me
And that I KNOW with certainty that I WILL have eternal life in Heaven 
because I believe. 
 
If you don't believe in Christ
What he did for ALL of us
It doesn't matter who you are
Where you are
What you did
God loves you
He wants you to spend eternal life with Him and His Son
All you have to do
Is believe that Christ died for you
Ask forgiveness
Tell Him your a sinner
Who needs a Savior
Pour your heart out to Him
Tell Him to fill it with His Grace and Mercy
 
There is no other feeling like belonging to a God who loves you
No matter what
I AM a child of God 
And always will be His!

Summer

I haven't written in a month!! 
This is what happens when you live in the mid-west and have the winter we had. 
Summer comes and you don't want to be inside
or if you are you are being creative with something summer! 
This is my newest creations
Flip Flop Wreaths! 
I LOVE flip flops
After all, Jesus wore sandals, right?
I want to believe that he had a pair of flip flops! 
He needed his toes out, feel the sand and sun! 
Yep, that's the best part of summer, flip flops! 
Psalm 74:17
You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter. 
Well, winter is not one of my favorite seasons
but I do appreciate it in some respects. 
I don't like bugs and there are no bugs in winter
so that is one good thing about winter. 
And snow can be beautiful
as long as I don't have to drive in it
(which I always do, but) 
But nothing screams living like summer!
The Sun is out, its shining, its warm
Birds chirp, The ducks make families, the geese mate
we see turtles in our pond, the muskrats get busy
Its fun watching God's animals from my balcony! 
(I am a 110% city girl) 
I live in the suburbs, but have a bit of country out my window 
and in the summer, it is perfect! 
The sun stays up longer, so its lighter later. 
ahhhhhh
Summer
Flip Flops
Yep, God knew what he was doing!
