Just a side note: Last night was so fun! My voice has been going in and out all day cause I sang to hard last night.

Do you this there is such a thing as dancing too hard?

Yeah...didn't think so...=>

A Song of Hope...A Song of Strength

This week I have really been stuggling with school and my future. I am so sick and tired of waiting and I want answers to my life...I am being so impatient! But God is so good...I bought Lincoln Brewster's new cd tonight and they sing "Everlasting God" on it. I have heard this song so many times but as I listened to it tonight it brough new hope and a refreshing breath. That no matter what I am going through, no matter how weak I am from being distraught over my future...my strength will rise as I wait and HAVE FAITH in God! Because he IS the EVERLASTING GOD!

At the end of the song a little girl recites Isaiah 40: 28-31...hearing this powerful verse from the lips of a child made me break down...it's a beautiful verse.

"Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not grow faint or grow weary;
no one can measure the depth of
his understanding.
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he
increases strength.
Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
but they who wait for the Lord shall
renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like
eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint."


Our God...You reign forever...
Our Hope...Our strong deliverer...
You are the everlasting God...
The everlasting God...
You do not faint...
You won't grow weary...
You're the defender of the weak...
You comfort those in need...
You lift us up on wings like eagles...


Lord I pray for Faith during this time in my life...Faith like I have never had before. Let me not be anxious about the future...there are so many things running through my mind that I know I don't need to worry about! As Your Word says in Matthew 6:25,27 "Do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not like more than food, and the body more than clothing?...And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?" Father let me not worry about what you have for me...I want your will for my life! Give me faith...give me strength. Amen

It's almost over...

So I'm on the countdown: 18 days until school is over with!!!
(I have to count in the weekends because of my online classes)

I am going to be so busy getting ready to finish up with my five classes (prayers would be awesome) but I will try and post when I can. My posts will be more frequent once summer starts!

So until my next blog...au revior! (and I leave you with this)

"But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, domination, and authority, before time and now and forever. Amen"
Jude 1:20-25

I see the King of gloryComing on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes
I see His love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing

Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the Highest

I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees

Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the Highest

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You
Have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Why me...why now?

So it's 3:00am...and I'm still up...
Actually I did go to bed at 12:30ish...but I just laid there...I can't fall asleep!

>I had to make a really hard decision this week...with everything that going on in April and May I have to take a break from the worship team. It was so hard but I felt like God was saying to take a break because of how my life will be in the next two months. I will miss it...=<
