What it Takes

What it takes to know you
What it takes to love you
I give myself as an offering to you

What it takes to praise you
What it takes to honor you
You are the way the life and the truth

When the storm clouds roll
Colliding in the air
Your peace surrounds me
Guiding every where

I want to know you
I want to live for you
I give my life as an offering to you

What it takes to know you
What it takes to love you
I lay my life down before your feet

What it takes to praise you
What it takes to honor you
You sacrificed your life to set me free

When the fire fights
I know you're in control
I hear the thunder crash
But I know it's well with my soul

I want to know you
I want to live for you
I give my life as an offering to you

A Wonderful Revelation

Wow. What a day. I got majorly attacked. Ever had people accuse you of things you didn't do?
I thought I had seen it all until now. So out of desperation I asked my roomate to pray for me.
And less than a minute later God gave me the wisdom to deal with the problem.
So I learned two things. Number 1- The devil will never give up attacking Christians. Number 2- the only way to ward off these attacks is to surrender human pride and trust God for the outcome.

God Bless,

the Solution

i hear the sound of splinters
every faithful arrow hitting the center
fear is not an option
when the shield is raised high
the war is never over
but the mature know who is in control
Give God all the Glory, Praise, and honour
and be made whole.

What leaves you broken- In the end it makes you..

Better - Plumb

You live inside a dream
Everything tastes so sweet
As long as it agrees with how you feel
You're dancing in your sleep
'til all the eyes that look at me
Awaken your anxieties

You're so afraid, so you try to break me
Yeah

I don't want to care
And I don't want to hate
And I don't want to see you fall too far away
Oh because of fear.
'Cause when you're afraid
You lash out and blame
And you say all the things that you never meant to say
And try to break me

But in the end
What leaves you broken
In the end it makes you better

Yeah

Your face it looks so green
When the sun is shining differently
And you're standing in the shade
'Cause face to face you're sweet
Like candy sticking to my teeth
Underneath so damaging

There is no strength in trying to break me
No

I don't want to care
And I don't want to hate
And I don't want to see you fall too far away
Oh because of fear.
Cause when you're afraid
You lash out and Blame
and you say all the things that you never meant to say
And try to break me

But in the end
What leaves you broken
In the end it makes you better

Yeah

I don't want to hate
I don't want to be broken
I don't want to hate you
I don't want to hate
I don't want to be broken
I don't want to hate you

I don't want to care
And I don't want to hate
And I don't want to see you fall too far away
Oh because of fear.
Cause when you're afraid
You lash out and blame
And you say all the things that you never meant to say
And try to break me

But in the end
What leaves you broken
In the end it makes you better

Yeah

Follow Me

A Short Devotion :)

When I hear the words "Follow Me" what comes to mind is complete trust.

When Jesus said these words to the disciples he gave them one foreshadowing to what they were in for. It wasn't, "You guys will help write the new testament -the second part of the bible and 2000 years later the best selling book of all time. No it was much more simple and to the point.

"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." (Mark 1:17 NIV)

They're new purpose was to catch people for God's kingdom. May I encourage you to trust God. Follow him where ever he is calling you to go. Say whatever He is putting on your heart.

So many times we get stressed because we focus on a small part of the frame when we should be trusting God for the completion of life's painting." His word promises the faithfulness of this completion.

..being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6

But notice this is all about God's timing not ours. That is why it's important we trust God and follow him. Not tell God to trust our decisions and follow us. Again scripture is very clear to what happens when we execute this fully dedicated heart of trust.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:4-6

God Bless

"Quiet in your Arms"

"Small" Amanda Falk

I just need to get away from me
I just need to find some peace of mind
Caught in this game of unmet expectations
I want to leave it all behind
I want to be small
I want to be just like a child
I want to be quiet in your arms
I want to be just like a child
I want to be quiet in your arms
So in that moment when I lose myself
Let the world fade away from me
Give me a moment just to seek the silence
I just want to be set free
