I'm Baaaaack....with a song in my heart!

 

Hello my little blog...

been away too long...

was it July?

seems so long ago,

oh how we've grown...

 

 

hurts so deep,

broken hearts,

shattered dreams

patient hearts,

knees bow down,

faces looking heavenward,

faith is tested,

forgiveness flows,

grace received,

hope is restored,

joy awaits,

For those that truly TRUST OUR LORD

 

heard this song while pounding away on the treadmill today,

and knew it was time to come back,

I do believe our hurts sound 'better than a hallelujah' to our Father

My Patio Prayer....

I am sitting on my patio, 7:01 am on Sunday morning. This is the 2nd Sunday morning in a row that I have taken that first (and 2nd) cup of  freshly brewed coffee...turned on the Pandora Instrumental Praise station...and spent time on my patio. Seems 'simple' enough, right?  Especially for a girl who LOVES all things simple...and placed that word in her blogs's title Ü 

This is my 5th summer here in Star and the very first year that my backyard is 'ready'....fencing completed, a beautiful patio table with Lazy Susan in the middle...a new 4 burner  grill...and some simple landscaping. It took this long to get 'er done...inside of house had to  be finished first.... then more time to  save up and pay for the the 'outside'.  It has been worth the wait! Friends and family have sat around the table...I'm learning to grill again..LOL...and I love looking out at it from my kitchen window.  I feel so blessed at His Goodness to give us the desires of our hearts...even if it takes a long time....and of course, we must do 'our part'.  My God has called me to 'wait' on Him throughout my entire walk with Him.  He Is Never Late.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, as I look down upon the ever growing list of needs on the paper on this patio table, my prayer is that I would trust YOU with those I love. They are hurting in body and spirit. Some need relationship with YOU, and  we all need a deeper relationships with each other. I pray YOUR will in our lives, knowing in YOUR time,  your are faithful to complete a good work. Help us all to do 'our part'.  Love, your Daughter

  God Gave me this song the summer of '07

It is every bit as meaningful and powerful today,

It is My song...may it be ALWAYS!



Happy Independence Day!!!

Wishing  you a safe and happy holiday!

How blessed are we?

To be free...

As a country....

And free from sin through Christ Jesus!

So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.

--John 8:36, NLT
