The post in which I don't know what to say or how to say it - maybe I shouldn't post anything at all

Maybe, another video would be better...



MAKE MY LIFE A PRAYER TO YOU (by Keith Green)

Make my life a prayer to you
I wanna do what you want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise

I wanna shine the light you gave
Thru your son you sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know you're really there

Chorus
Well I wanna thank you now
For being patient with me
Oh its so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I'll have to trust
And just believe what you say
Oh you're coming again
Coming to take me away

I wanna die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope you gave me
The love that set me free

I wanna tell the world out there
You're not some fable or fairy tale
That Ive made up inside my head
You're God the son and you've risen from the dead

Chorus

I wanna die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope you gave me
The love that set me free

***

I hadn't been the wife that God would want to be tonight. I guess I'll just have to sing the chorus one more time:

Well I wanna thank you now
For being patient with me
Oh its so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I'll have to trust
And just believe what you say
Oh you're coming again
Coming to take me away

Your Grace Is Enough - Video and Lyrics

As I shared the other day, I am starting a new endeavor. I know starting a business is not easy. I know that there will be times when I would be discouraged. And in those times, I would remember this song and my passion will be renewed. God's grace is enough. That's all I need. He will lead the way.

You Are Mine (By Third Day) Video, Lyrics and Musings

It doesn't take much
For my heart to break
And you have done it
For what's seems the millionth time

Whenever I hear
Of your saving grace
And how you gave your life
In exchange for mine

Sometimes I wonder why you even love me
And why you ever chose to call me child
Then I remember
It's by your sacrifice
I can say that
I am yours and you are mine

It doesn't take much
For me to shed a tear
And you have done so many things
To make me cry
Whenever I think
Of all that I've done wrong
And everything that you have done
To make it right

It doesn't take much
For my heart to break
And you have done it
For what's seems the millionth time

*****

I woke up in the middle of the night with such anxiety in my heart. And I felt really discouraged. What do I keep on worrying about things I do not even know about .. about things that I do not have control of. And then I wondered, is this lack of trust? Do I really trust my Lord and my God? If I do, then why do I worry? Why do I worry when I know in my heart that nothing is impossible with God. Why am I anxious when I believe in God ... when I know and believe that God is able, and that He exceedingly provides to those he loves. And that I know that nothing... nothing could separate me from the love of God...

I do not know the answer. But God does. And He is patient. He is patient with me more than I can tell.

I wondered around Facebook and Allison's twit/post caught my eyes. She said she's loving the song "You Are Mine" by Third Day. I love many of the worship songs sang by Third Day, and so I clicked her link to listen to it (as I had not heard that one before). The rest of the story is a precious reminder that God meets us where we are. He met me, right here...right now...and my heart is broken. So here's goes the lyrics that makes my soul sings:

Sometimes I wonder why you even love me
And why you ever chose to call me child
Then I remember
It's by your sacrifice
I can say that
I am yours and you are mine

It doesn't take much
For me to shed a tear
And you have done so many things
To make me cry
Whenever I think
Of all that I've done wrong
And everything that you have done
To make it right

Let's watch and listen to it one more time:

I Believe

Sunday Scribblings' prompt this week is "I Believe". Two memories immediately popped in my head when I read it. One is the Apostles Creed, which I had memorized in my childhood and still know it by heart to this day. Second is the song by Tom Jones titled "I Believe". I must have listened to that song a hundred times while I was growing up. My parents must have liked Tom Jones because I remember we have a "record" of that at home and it gets played over and over again. Along with the Apostles' Creed, the lyrics of this song is also engraved in my brain. Just for the fun of it, I googled the words "I Believe By Tom Jones" and I actually found a You Tube video of it!

Before I share the video, I just want to testify that I am a believer. Are you? The chorus in the I Believe song goes like this:

Every time I hear a new born baby cries
or touch a leaf
or see the sky
then I know why I believe.

This coming year 2009 is a year of challenge. With America's economy being as unstable as it is, it is easy to be discouraged and depressed. But let us not be discouraged. I believe that we will get through this hard times. It will teach us important lessons we would never have learned if we're always on affluent state. I believe the hard times bring something good. I believe. The bad times will not kill us - it will make us stronger.

And so, here's the song for us:
