Won't Let Me Go

O Love That Will Not Let me Go ~ Incredible Grace Music

1. O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

2. O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores it's borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

3. O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.

4. O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

"Do You Trust Me With Your Heart?"

This is something that has been heavy on my heart and mind. Like really  on my mind. It has to do with our personal desires and what we think we want, and what the Lord actually wants for us.  Granted, knowing God's exact plan for your life is pretty much impossible.   But I'm not talking about figuring out our life schedule. So let me begin... I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, (maybe I am, I seriously doubt it though) But have you ever had a desire for something, thought you needed something SO badly that it almost consumes you? I'm talking about those things you think you need to be "happy" or "satisfied'. The thing that you think about 24/7. The thing you start making up little scenarios and conversations about. The thing that you want so badly, that the thought of not having it is like a heavy burden on your mind. The thing that makes your heart burn within you.  Of course this "thing" will be different ...

I Can Just Be Me

I just recently heard this song and I fell in love with it! The world constantly tells me I need to be something I'm not. That I need to have a perfect complexion. Have perfect hair. Own the latest style of clothes. Act a certain way. Say certain things. Be up to date in the latest gossip. Be popular. Watch the TV shows that everyone rave about.  Do what the world does. Then I heard this song, and it was a wonderful reminder that my identity needs to be found in Christ. I can chase after this or that. Try and be someone I'm not. But at the end of the day, God is the only one who matters. He is forever.   "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." Isaiah 40:8 "As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is ...

2015

It's that time of year again! I can hardly believe we're at the beginning of a new year already! It's bound to happen... people will make posts; (wait, isn't that what I'm doing...) either with a list of all their resolutions, or condemning resolutions with an "I'm too good for that" attitude. I'll admit for a while I was one of those "Resolutions are dumb, why would I make any?" kind of people. And now? Well, I guess it really doesn't matter to me whether someone wants to make resolutions or not. There's definitely always room for improvement. We'll never "arrive" or be perfect in this life on earth, (which by the way isn't a good reason not to try.) What I'm not a huge fan of, is the joke about how "no one ever stays committed to their goals so don't expect to make it very far". And then the whole mentality that you can only make changes for the better at the beginning of the year, or at the...
