My Story For His Glory

'Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood

Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love

This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long

Oh what a Savior, wonderful Jesus

Death could not hold You, You are victorious
Praise to the risen King
Death could not hold You, You are victorious
Praise to the risen Kind

Oh what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
Oh what a Savior

Wonderful Savior
'Blessed Assurance', Fanny Crosby, 1873'

If I could tell my story in a song this one would. If I could sing my story, it would be a song of hope just like this one should. The lyrics to my story would tell of a life of submission. How I submitted and He encouraged me and filled me with His goodness. His goodness was just enough to cover all the bad. It was His goodness that lead me from gala to gala, and helped me as I danced across the stage, even when I forgot the steps or threw the sticks. It was His goodness that lead me to a great man and helped me, as I walked hand in hand down the isle with the love of my life, even when I was unlovely. It was His goodness that helped me and transformed me into a mom of three, as I pushed the stroller for my amazing children, even when I wasn't so amazing to them. It was His goodness that helped me and that never left me alone, as I met some of the most interesting people along life's way, even when I was a bore to them. I laughed when times were funny. I cried when times were sad. No, depression never overtook me. No, divorce had no claim on me. Yes, I knew pain when death reached my door at a young age. Yes, I struggled to find the balance between work and family. Yet, even during those times, I knew You. I never took my eyes off of You, Lord. I never doubted You for even one moment. I could see that life was a whole lot of bad news, but that you were good. I always knew that You were there for me, through the struggles of life. It was Your struggle to live and to die for me and You did. But death could not hold You. You did it all for me and now it's our story. Praise to the risen King. It was Your act of love that lead me to You, my Savior. Here I am Lord. This is my story. Blessed assurance. Filled with your goodness. Lost in Your love.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
