Absolutely no more night

The timeless theme, Earth and Heaven will pass away. 
It’s not a dream, God will make all things new that day. 
Gone is the curse from which I stumbled and fell.
Evil is banished to eternal hell.

No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying again. 
And praises to the great "I AM." 
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.

See all around, now the nations bow down to sing. 
The only sound is the praises to Christ, our King. 
Slowly the names from the book are read. 
I know the King, so there’s no need to dread.

No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying again. 
And praises to the great "I AM." 
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.

See over there, there’s a mansion, oh, that’s prepared just for me,
Where I will live with my savior eternally.

No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying again. 
And praises to the great "I AM." 
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.

All praises to the great "I AM."
We’re gonna live in the light of the risen Lamb.

My mom

I just know my mom is singing at the top of her lungs right now!

I love you, Mom!

my bottom line

I opened my devotional and His Word this morning (first time in a long time) and wouldn't you just know the topic of the day had to do with giving up all of my possessions and following Him. It was about the "stuff".  It was about making sure money isn't my god. I better not be making any of my decisions based on the wrong "goals" or "production". When it comes to "bottom line" I want it to be all about Him and eternity.

Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." (Luke 18:24-25)

Lord, please keep my eyes on You!

my heart is set

Like Incense

May my prayer like incense rise before You
The lifting of my hands a sacrifice
Oh Lord Jesus turn Your eyes upon me
For I know there is mercy in Your sight

Your statutes are my heritage forever
My heart is set on keeping Your decrees
Please still my anxious urge toward rebellion
Let Love keep my will upon its knees

Oh God You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God You are my God
And I will ever praise You

To all creation I can see a limit
But Your commands are boundless and have none
So Your Word is my joy and mediation
From the rising to the setting of the sun

All Your ways are loving and are faithful
The road is narrow but Your burden light
Because You gladly lean to lead the humble
I shall gladly kneel to leave my pride

Oh God You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God You are my God
And I will ever praise You

I will seek You in the morning
I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

I went to church this evening for the first time since I can remember.  I haven't been getting out of work in time with all of the changes in my office and it felt great to be "home" tonight.  I was a little bummed  at first when the worship leader said he wanted to teach us a new song.  As it turns out, the lyrics were exactly what I needed to hear.  I'm ready to get back on track.  I'm not going to start my day by reading e-mails or facebook anymore.  I'm going to start my day with Him.  I wish I had some old-fashioned incense to light. 

By faith... I'm still learning.

missing blogging

I miss the days when I had time to blog. I know it's just me and my time management.  I'm trying to find some balance in my life.  I'm enjoying my face to face friends and family but there is something sweet about the world of blogging. I miss the depth on here. 

Lord, help me intentionally look for You in the midst of every person and every situation I encounter today.

My cousin Kim

God is capable of doing anything He wants.   I'm still Believing God for the impossible!

Please pray for my cousin, Kim Snow.  She feel off a horse five days ago.  She is unconscious.  She responds to light. They have turned off life support.  Pray for her family while they wait, that they feel His arms wrapped around them.  If He decides to take her home, I know that I know that I know exactly where she is going.
I'm so grateful and sad.



My sweet, sensitive brother, Dave has posted this song on fb twice.  He said he loves all of his sisters.  He posted it again yesterday for our cousin.  I Believe she's saying, "Don't worry about me"!

Love,

only a dental hygienist would post this

So... I have this friend who had some "elective" surgery.  It wasn't necessary, but to her it seemed the right thing to do at the time. She was a little vain in my opinion, but since the price was right and it was important to her,  I thought I should support her decision. Well, wouldn't you just know it. It became way more involved than she had expected. Actually she was (is) downright miserable while it took (takes) time for her to heal. She's hoping and praying it's going to feel better with a little more time and perhaps an adjustment tomorrow. At the moment she wishes she could go back to the way it was before the surgery. It really wasn't that bad, right? Who would have even noticed (unless she opened her mouth)? I mean, what ever happened to the old, "If it's not broke don't fix it" theory? Was it worth it? Please don't ask her today.

Lord, please give me compassion for those who make stupid decisions (like I did) and do things they wish they hadn't. I know you don't punish, but help me trust that you don't when it certainly feels like you do. Forgive me for not coming to You first.

With love from Your friend,
xoxo
