To Be...Singing Hallelujah

March 30
Recently, a friend gave me the book, A Holy Roar, Seven Ways to Worship. It was a 70 degree February day and I sat on the patio, read the whole book and had a praise party!  
Just Jesus and me!  
Worship it transforming. Like whistling, it's difficult to be depressed or anxious when you are in praise mode!

 I used to struggle with our remembrance of the crucifixion being called Good Friday, but I've come to grasp it was the "goodest" thing Christ could do for us!

 "We despised him and rejected him-a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by.  He was despised, and we didn't care. Yet is was our grief he bore, our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, for his own sins!  Isaiah 53:3-4 TLB


 Take four and a half minutes to sing praise to our holy, holy God.

Great I AM by Phillips, Craig and Dean
I want to be close, close to your side So heaven is real and death is, a lie
I want to hear voices of angels above  Singing as one
Hallelujah, holy, holy God almighty, the great I am
Who is worthy, none beside thee God almighty, the great I am
I want to be near, near to your heart Loving the world and hating the dark
I want to see dry bones living again Singing as one
Hallelujah, holy, holy God almighty, the great I am
Who is worthy, none beside thee God almighty, the great I am
The great I am The mountains shake before you the demons run in fear
At the mention of the name king of majesty There is no power in hell
Or any who can stand Before the power and the presence of the great I am
The great I am, the great I am yeah Hallelujah, holy, holy
God almighty, the great I am Who is worthy, none beside thee God almighty, the great I am
Hallelujah, holy, holy God almighty, the great I am
Who is worthy, none beside thee God almighty, the great I am The great I am
The great I am The great I am

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat...

Toe Sucking

June 13 If I keep my eyes on God, I won't trip over my own feet. Psalm 25:12 …or allow them to be sucked off by carp!  For as long as I've been on this lake (49 years) we've gone to feed the carp at various marinas.   I have a bag of old bread waiting to be tossed to the carp tomorrow by our grandchildren!   There's a new adventure at a couple of the marinas.  Toe sucking!   For 25 cents you can buy a small scoop of peanut butter to go on your toes. Then the carp suck it off!   I just got a pedicure, so I have an excuse not to participate! What we do need to participate in is keeping our feet on the paths the Lord sets before us. Give careful though to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Proverbs 4:26

Remember Your Story

Our oldest granddaughter made this bouquet and hand painted card for me.💖 Nothing touches our lives that God doesn't allow.  He has a plan and a purpose, sometimes far into the future, that can be used for His glory. (Jeremiah 29:11) Flash back 40 years and I approached life's downs with an "I can't believe this is happening." and truth be told "How can I fix it?" attitude.   Now that I am older and wiser I see that God truly works all things together for good for those who are called according to His purpose.  (Romans 8:28) I thank God for the stroke 8 years ago and how it mellowed me out (okay some of you are laughing, but it really did). And honestly,  I like getting old. Sure, there are regrets, but there is also value in being able to pass along the wisdom learned from those regrets. God CAN use everything for His good. Mentoring moments are what I feel called to at this stage of life.  Working on a talk for a women's retreat weekend, I came ac...
