Some GOOD News!!!

I was kinda "down" on our return form vacation in FL. We still hadn't found a house and it had almost been a year since we moved to denver CO (thanksgiving day to be exact!). I was seriously not looking forward to another FREEZING winter in a no heat, dark basement. I was longing deeply for a house of my own. I was angry with God that he wasn't/had not worked things out yet for us to be in our own place. But i finally =) through HIS grace able to surrender to HIM...it was hard and i can't say i didn't have "annoyed moments" after wards but i was feeling more content in Him! Which brought (belive me) MUCH more peace and security! All this went on in my heart for about a month...
A few weeks ago we went to see this Fantastic house that was for rent! We all loved it! It fitted most all our needs and felt like home! At first my Dad didn't like how far away form his work it was but the Lord seemed to close every othe opportunity and say to us THIS IS YOUR HOUSE!
We are ALL very excited about it! Although it is sorta far for my dad he feelds that this is were the Lord wants us to be! So we are moving this Saturday! HURRAY!
Please pray that everything goes smoothly!
Although God has givin us a lovely house i know there will still be MANY things to not be content with! (There is always something!=)
SO pray that i trust in HIM for my daily needs and not in earthly things!

p.s hopefully i will do some more pasting in the future!!! =)

God is Great he gives me Chocolate Cake...

Have you ever caught yourself saying if only God would give me this or; God why can't I be or do that thing I want to do.
These kind of phrases keep coming to my mind.
I want what I want and, I expect God to give it to me.
But, often even if I fight super hard for what I want I usually don't get it.
So, by God's grace he is slowly teaching me to give up those selfish wants and, to rely on Him
and, his will for my life.
He reminds me daily that his plans are good and, that He shall never leave me or forsake me!
this brings tears to my eyes, that I have God who loves me enough to give me the things that I should have not what I want.
"So now, oh Isreal, what does the LORD your God require of you?
Only to fear the Lord your God, to walk in his ways,
to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and, with all your soul."
Deuteronomy 10:12

Well, I have written a song that is really all praise to God.
It is funny because some of the songs I've wrote come to me all in one piece and I quickly dive for pen and, paper to scratch it down! Yet, others take awhile to write.

v1. I stand with my hands held high and,
my voice raised my voice raised up to You.
How awesome and great you are.
Maybe Lord it is that I will never get over the fact.
That you died for me because you loved me.
And, opened my eyes to see.


chorus: That you are worthy of all praise
and, in worship I will thank
the everlasting father
the prince of all my peace
the rock that I cling to
YOU are... you are He.


v2. So Lord I lay me down in you.
Knowing it the only place I can rest.
I offer all I have to you and you alone.
Because you died for me because you love me.
And, opened my eyes to see.

Life in Colorado!

well, it has been quite an adjustment moving across country yet, I have to say that it is quite gorgeous here in Colorado! Although I do miss my dear church family back in Athens GA...

I truly see Gods Sovereign will in the move! For instance it has drawn me closer to my family and, is drawing me closer to my dear Savior!

Our home in GA is still for sale yet, my Dad's childhood friend here in Denver has graciously opened up his home to us until our home sells! So, please pray!!
I hope to be blogging more frequently than I have of late Lord willing! = )
Happy new year!
