Dearest Lover of my soul, thank You so much for choosing to use Bethany Hamilton to inspire me through the movie on her behalf, Soul Surfer (the below lyric was featured in the movie and I thank You for it as well). I pray You will continue to use her for Your glory and may she continue to embrace Your very best for her. In Jesus’ name, amen.
“Set The World On Fire” by Britt Nicole
I wanna set the world on fire | Until it’s burning bright for You | It’s everything that I desire | Can I be the one You use? ||
[CHORUS]
I, I am small but | You, You are big enough | I, I am weak but | You, You are strong enough to | Take my dreams
Come and give them wings | Lord with You | Nothing I can not do | Nothing I cannot do ||
I wanna feed the hungry children | And reach across the farthest land | And tell the broken there is healing
And mercy in the Father’s hands ||
[CHORUS]
Take my dreams | Come and give them wings | Lord with You | Nothing I cannot do | Nothing I cannot do ||
My hands my feet | My everything | My life, my love | Lord, use me ||
I wanna set the world on fire | I wanna set the world on fire, yeah ||
Take my dreams | Come and give them wings | Lord with You | Nothing I cannot do
Take my dreams | Come and give them wings | Lord with You | There’s nothing I can’t do
Nothing I can’t do ||
I’m gonna set the world on fire | Set the world on fire
LORD, You are the LORD of my life and I thank you for meeting me as always by filling my senses with Your sweetness and helping me to do what You willed. I found myself in Your embrace, a place like no other. Thanks for this song that You used to minister to me in addition to countless others. May I put You first always, continue falling in love with You…I pray to be after Your heart not only in word but in deed and not in the way the world would expect me but in accordance to Your expectation. I love You, Daddy.
Jesus Culture – Your love never fails
Nothing can separate
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails
I know I still make mistakes
But You have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails
Chorus:
You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don’t have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails
Verse 2:
The wind is strong and the water’s deep
But I’m not alone in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails
The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I’d reach the other side
But Your love never fails
Bridge:
You make all things work together for my good
…that only what we do for Christ will last. We are about to celebrate our son’s first birthday, I pray his life will be about Christ so help us LORD. I pray we will represent Christ-like legacy for him when it’s all said and done by His grace alone.
As I sit to write before I go about the rest of my evening which I give to You, the below song was brought to mind…You see, I am not a writer, a painter, etc. I am special because You loves me! I am so thankful for Your love that is like no other. Thank You, Papa, for loving me so. Thank You so much for knowing best even when I see things through thick fogs–I would not trade this season for another. Thank You for my son. Indeed, he kept me busy today while your son, my hubbie, was at the men’s conference, yet I thank You for who You have made him (and will continue to make him) to be! Now that he is sleeping like a baby, I thank You too. He is our treasure. I give him back to You as You well know. May he grow to be a man after Your heart. Thank You for choosing us to be his parents. Help us to be good stewards on his behalf. Thank You for the wonderful of it all. Thank You for Your love!
O, THE WONDER OF IT ALL
(George Beverly Shea)
There’s the wonder of sunset at evening,
The
wonder as sunrise I see;
But the wonder of wonders that thrills my soul
Is
the wonder the God loves me.
Chorus:
O, the wonder of it all! The wonder of it all!
Just to think that God loves me.
O, the wonder of it all! The wonder
of it all!
Just to think that God loves me.
There’s the wonder of springtime and
harvest,
The sky, the stars, the sun;
But the wonder of wonders that
thrills my soul
Is the wonder that’s only begun.
I thank God for life. He gives and He takes. This evening I received the news of a baby who died a week shy of estimated due date due to cord that suffocated him or her. As we pray comfort for his or her parents, I thank God that they can rest in His love in His everlasting arms because God is faithful and sovereign through it all whether pain or not. Lord, thank You for the opportunity to thank You and to continue to choose Life so that we may live.
This is not the first time that my baby, God’s gift, had fallen
But today’s reminded me of God’s love to me even when I fall.
He warns me but I get to make the choice.
He directs me yet I get to choose to obey or not.
Today, we are thankful for God’s continued
Love, guidance, provision, grace, peace, mercy, faithfulness
But we know we are all about to embark on a new season.
My hubbie and I received this text from our friend and brother:
“God Will OPEN the DOOR! And No man will be able to close it-
a step of faith, that’s all it takes!:)”
I echoed amen because it is true!
Just as I was hurt to see my baby’s tears/blood upon falling,
Our Lord hurts for us too
But the great thing is as we continue to take steps of faith,
He will never leave nor forsake us, He will never tell us
I told you so, and He will forever take us in His embrace
Wiping away our tears while cleaning our blood stains, and
Consoling us with His gentle touch until we are ready
To continue to press on!
Lord Jesus, we look to You and thank YOU for every
Season that You sovereignly bring before us.
I love who You are and look to the providence
You have set before each of us.
We will not fear but continue to walk by faith
And not by sight! Amen.
We mountain. Shooting stars. Missions conference. Those are some of the words that are as pieces of puzzles that was pieced together by the Lord to lead me to marriage. Before I continue, tonight, God blessed me by this very inspiring movie: Straight From The Heart. I am very picky about my movies but this one became one of my favorites thus far. It contained certain elements that I love and cherish–Music. Country music. Dancing. Mountains. Pictures. True love. Shooting stars. Being real. New beginnings. Being able to love again. Forgiveness. Learning from the past, letting go of it, and embracing the present while looking to the future. Making most of every moment. Cherishing the simple things of life. Horses. Laughter. Beauty. Elegance. Marriage. I am glad my hubbie and I gave the movie a chance even though we thought it would be horrible. Thank You, Jesus, for the way You continue to orchestrate my life. I pray Your perfect will in my life continuously. You promise and do keep. Thank You for prayer. Thank You for calling me into marriage and motherhood. Thank You always for all things. I look to You and I know this is only the beginning to You amazing me by who You are to me and all You do not only in me but through me. It is not about me but You and You alone. May my life bring You glory. By the precious grace of God, Daddy, please use me to radiate Your compassion and love to the dying world because You are God–my heart is forever and always Yours, O LORD.
