You Can Have Me

"When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me
I want to be where You are
I’m running into Your arms
And I will never look back
So Jesus, here is my heart!"

Look to the Heavens

I look to the sky every night and am filled with inexpressible joy.

It reminds me that the Lord is Almighty, Lord over all Creation, Lord over my life.

It gives me a sense of awe that God created the Heavens and the Earth, all of Creation.

I am filled with a sense of peace, knowing He has my life in the palm of His hands.

That is one way I know if I am on the right path with God. When I am not following His will, I can't feel His presence when I look to the Heavens. When I am disobedient to His Will, I look to the moon and feel nothing. But when I am very close with the Lord and seeking after Him with all my Heart, I look at the moon and feel the Holy Spirit fill me with such JOY! Not joy like happy happy joy joy. Joy as if even if my entire life was falling to pieces, I still know the Lord is Good and His Love endures.

This is a picture of the moon that I took on the night of Good Friday this year.
It was a full moon and so gorgeous.

ROARING like a LION!

I'll Follow You

I first discovered this song at an Orphan Helpers Harvest of Hope evening. Our guests performing artists sang it. It was beautiful. The lyrics were so appropriate for our mission and vision at Orphan Helpers. But they spoke to me for my personal faith walk as well. Check it out.

I'll Follow You by Leeland

"Use my hands, use my feet
To make your kingdom come
Through the corners of the earth
Until your work is done
'Cause Faith without works is dead
And on the cross your blood was shed
So how could I not give it away so freely?

And I'll follow you into the homes that are broken.
Follow you into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God.
Follow you into the World."

Make Your Words Count

In the last month, I or my direct family members experienced three deaths. You can read about it in my blog post here. With death all around, you never know when your last words to a friend or family member may actually be your last. It might sound depressing, but it's the truth. This is why I try to always end conversations with my closest friends with "I Love You." I don't say things if I don't mean it, but I don't want the people in my life to not know that they were appreciated, loved, respected, and cared for deeply.

So make your words count.
