If I worked all day, every day, for the rest of my life, it would never be enough. I, in my imperfection, my sin, my absolute ‘humanness’ could never do enough. No matter how pure my intentions, or how true my heart, I can never reach this pinnacle I thought I had to reach in order to be able to serve the Lord. I can’t wait until I’ve finally reached this level of Nirvana, that does not exist, to serve God. I have to serve Him now. Continue reading “Just Do It!”
It’s Your breath in our lungs,
So we pour out our praise,
We pour out our praise.
Great Are You Lord!
These words from one of my favorite praise and worship songs pretty much sums up how I feel this Thanksgiving. I fall on my knees in praise of the Lord, thanking Him for all He has blessed me with. I will thank the Lord with all my heart; I will declare all Your wonderful works. Psalm 9:1 Many could look at my life and ask why would I thank Him. That always makes me grin just a little because I realize they just don’t get it. Then it makes me sad because I realize, they just don’t get it. Whatever you have been dealt in life, you cannot forget that God is still on the throne, and everything is part of His great plan. Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 Continue reading “Thanks Be Unto The Lord”
When I was five years old I fell into a fire. Most of my family was at my mamaw and papaw’s house in rural southeastern Oklahoma. We had built a fire out in front of the property. When the adults had retreated back towards the house, my older brothers and male cousins began jumping over the fire. It was exciting to see them run and jump with the flames seemingly engulfing their legs. Continue reading “Every Scar Tells A Story”
So many things have gone on in my life in the last several days. Seems like the devil is working overtime to try and steal my joy. But, that is life, and it’s hard to have a message if there isn’t a mess to go through, or a testimony if there aren’t some tests along the way. “Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.” James 1:2-4 So…bring it on Satan! I’m not done yet. Continue reading “I’m Not Done Yet”
“I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I live.” Psalm 104:33
Music has been a very important part of my life always. It started with my mother’s lullabies, then my father’s folk songs, and then gospel music. Continue reading “Sing Unto The Lord”
I am so excited to finally be starting this blog! What a wonderful endeavor it has been, and I’m finally here. I hope you join me as I share my creative insights on life, love, and most of all…Jesus Christ. The good Lord has blessed me in so many ways.
