Quotes

You've got to sing like you don't need the money.
You've got to love like you'll never get hurt.
You've got to dance like there's nobody watching.
You've got to come from the heart if you want it to work.

song ~ there will be a day

THERE WILL BE A DAY
composed by Jeremy Camp & Jeremy Thomas


I try to hold on to this world
with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings,
and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end,
His word declares this truth
That we will enter in this rest
with wonders anew
But I hold on to this hope
and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place
Will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we'll hold on to you always



I know the journey seems so long
You feel you're walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you've walked out all alone
Troubled soul don't lose your heart
Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that's in store
Outweighs the hurt of life's sting
But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place
Will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we'll hold on to you always



I can't wait until that day
where the very one
I've lived for always
will wipe away the sorrow that I've faced
To touch the scars that rescued me
from a life of shame and misery
O, this is why, this is why I sing

There will be a day with no more tears
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place
Will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face

There will be a day with no more tears
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place
Will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
There will be a day
He will wipe away the tears
He will wipe away the tears
He will wipe away the tears
There will be a day

song ~ God loves you

God Loves You
by Jaci Velasquez

In the quiet, love is reaching.
It's yours to hold,
Be still and know that
Even when you're lost and lonely,
And hope is gone, you're not alone.
Far beyond the understanding,
There's a hand that leads,
If you believe.
Through the darkness, see the light.
Remember God loves you.

The road ahead is long and winding.
With eyes of faith, you'll find the way, yeah.
And when the journey leaves you weary,
You can rest in the comfort of heaven's arms -
Sweet loving arms.
And peace will follow.
Peace be with you always,
As you go.
For now you know that...
Through the darkness, there's a light.
Remember God loves you.

When you open up your heart,
His love will meet you where you are.
He will always be a part of everything you do.
He is here to set you free,
And give you all the strength you need
To carry on, to carry on.
Through the darkness, see the light.
Remember God loves you. (remember, remember)
Remember God loves you.

What is Faith???

I have been reflecting lately on Faith

What is faith?  How do you have it?  How do you know it is real?  Do I truely believe that all things work together for good to those that love God?  and that God really does have my best interest at heart?  If you are like me, you have to remind yourself of the truth...because life sends you blows that sometimes make you question and ask why. 

A friend wrote me a note via email recently: 
"Please don't take this the wrong way but after all you've shared about past, present & future even it amazes me that you have such strong faith..."

But if I knew Gods plan for my life, then I wouldn't be walking by faith...right?  I would be walking by sight because I could see the plan laid out clearly.  That is why God says we walk by faith not by sight.  II Corinthians 5:7.  If you think about it, you know without a doubt that not all the heroes in the bible always felt capable, up to the job, full of faith and believed that God would provide a way.  Even if we do not know what is in ahead for us, what valley we will walk thru, what mountain we will have to climb, He still is our guide.  It is interesting to reflect that even if we are without Faith in our hearts, he still holds true to His word:  If we are faithless, He remains faithful.  II Timothy 2:13.  God gives the strength. God gives the words. God gives the wisdom. God gives the power to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.  Ephesians 3:20.  That is true, IF we have FAITH.  

Please share your thoughts on Faith...
