"It Is Well With My Soul"

Isaiah 48:10-22
Vr 18 "O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea."

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrow like sea billows roll,
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

It is well with my soul;
It is well, it is well with my soul.

And, Lord, hast the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll.
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend;
"Even so" -it is well with my soul.

God gives us His peace when we meet His requirements. Many times He sends unusual circumstances into our lives to make us more like His Son. If all things are accepted as from Him, then His peace is the result.

"My Faith Looks Up to Thee"

Hebrews 11:1-6
Vr 1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not see."

My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!

Pray believing and have Faith that God will answer your prayers. I love watching my children as their prayers are answered! Just recently my daughter, age 19, was praying about a situation. The Lord gave her a job that was wonderful for college, then he took it away. Tabitha was not understanding why this happened. The day she lost the one job, along with 70 some other people, she gets a call from her former job in KY. The Lord took care of her even though it meant she was going back to the college she had attended last yr. He provided her a full time job that will care for her bill and other needs while away from home!! Have Faith in God that he will take care of you!!

May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!

When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll,
Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!

You can experience things in life that yes, you may not ever become famous from but allow the Lord to use those experiences in your life to change you! Let your Faith look to God! Don't do in doubt what you would of done in Faith!

Reflection of this song: Ray Palmer's faith was not in himself or some "higher power," but in Christ. Our faith also must be in Him. The Bible says that Christ "was in all points tempted like as we are, yet [He was] without sin" Hebrews 4:15. In every situation that we find ourselves in, remember, Christ has been there too. 

"All Hail the Power of Jesus Name"

Philippians 2:1-11
Vr 9 - "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name."

All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all.

Let ev'ry kindred, ev'ry tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all.

I Love this song! In a book I was reading here is what the author said about this song.
" Christ left His majestic position and condescended to provide salvation for lowly human beings. May He enjoy an exalted position in our hearts today. He and only He is worthy to be Lord of all."

WOW!! what a thought!!! Do we give the Lord the exalted position in our hearts? Something to think about and put into action.

Do you worship, praise and give the Lord power in your life and heart?

Good Morning!

Well, we are moved, not settled in by a long shot but I should be able to post a little more. I will be homeschooling so I don't know how much exactly I will get on but I'll get more than I was.

Rejoice in the Lord alway and again I say rejoice.

Living by Faith....

Oh my I have lived by faith in the past but I tell you what, the last wk has been a real test of my faith. For those who may not of known, our life has literally been turned upside down. We started 2 mo. ago planning on a possible move to Maine, packing, letting people know that we may be leaving and so on and so forth.
About a wk after we start this plan, we are told we have to move out of our home because they want to sell and that we have 30 days. OH boy! So we are thinking ok the Lord is leading and things are happening in such a way, it must be God's will.
Then a wk ago yesterday (Friday) we learn we are NOT going to Maine! Now we have no home, thankfully Bill still had his job, but we had ONLY 2 wks to find a place a live. Well we now have 5 days and NOTHING!!
This ole gal's faith is wavering, even though I know through faith God will take care of us.
I just keep trusting my Lord as I go along....
He will never leave me nor forsake me..... this includes he won't leave me homeless.
My faith looks up to Thee,

Are you living by faith? Do you allow God to do with you what is best?
You know, the last 2 months I have cried alot, I have prayed alot and YES I have doubted. You say, You doubted? Why?
I'm human just like you. I doubted that we were really seeing what God wanted us to see. Now though I see it as God wanted to see if we were willing to the comfort we are in. If we were willing to go to another church, and serve as we do here. Once we ALL, myself included said, "Ok Lord wherever you want us we'll serve." Everything changes and we are staying right here where we are a BIG part of our church. I don't understand why things happen the way they do, but I do know by putting my faith in God and letting go of my life, He knows what we need.

As I close I have a prayer request, we literally have 5 days to find a place to live and thus far nothing has opened up. We do have 1 home that is a possibility. Please if you would join us in prayer that we can find a home within our budget and that it's what God wants us to have.
