Oh sweet Jesus. You are my wonderful counselor. Guide me. Cause me to know your will. Live through me. Purify me, make me wholly yours. Help me to daily, live out the fruit of the spirit and show your love to everyone through how I treat them. God you are the almighty one. You so amazingly blessed me yesterday in the car on the way to work. You speak to me through music. You filled me up with you. A peace washed over me and I wept in thanksgiving and excitement over you. I was overwhelmed with an uncontainable joy about meeting you face to face one day.

Earlier I was reading Come Thirsty and Max Lucado was talking about Lazarus and what he might have been doing while in heaven before Jesus told him, "Lazarus, Come out!". It was really cool thinking about how amazing it will be when that time comes when He comes in the clouds and takes his children back with Him. How great is His faithfulness! I'm so at peace to know that my mother is in the company of The Almighty, the great saints, the disciples, hangin out with Elijah and Elisha... taking rides in the fiery chariot... Discussing things with Moses and Jacob and David and Esther. Ah! how cool is that. It's like there's a cool book that you're reading and finally, you get to jump into it (like in the show reading rainbow) lol... and experience being with the characters. Meeting all of them and at the same time, hanging out with the author. The perfecter of time, the potter and creator of a masterpiece so unfathomable, we just have to experience it to truly know what it's like. Until then we wait in excitement like little children, trusting that Daddy will come through, because he always does.


My toes are cold...




This is the song that is so ministering to me right now...

It’s the song of the redeemed
Rising from the African plain
It’s the song of the forgiven
Drowning out the Amazon rain
The song of Asian believers
Filled with God’s holy fire
It’s every tribe, every tongue, every nation
A love song born of a grateful choir

It’s all God’s children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
It’s all God’s children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns

Let it rise about the four winds
Caught up in the heavenly sound
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
To the faithful gathered underground
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
Some were meant to persist
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
None rings truer than this

And all the powers of darkness
Tremble at what they’ve just heard
‘Cause all the powers of darkness
Can’t drown out a single word

When all God’s children sing out
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
All God’s people singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
