In Christ Alone


I just needed a word from God, and He gave me a song this time. I absolutely LOVE this song, so I copied the two verses that speak the most to my heart, and on a separate page I journaled the significance of this song in my life. I got the picture from the internet (from Flickr).
This is what I journaled about this song:
These lyrics are a soothing balm to my soul
when I need God’s touch. They comfort me
like little else can when I’m struggling on
some level.

These words are truth, they are life, and
they bring an immediate peace to my spirit.
When everything else seems to be falling apart
around me, He is the solid ground upon which
I know I can stand firm. Nothing can destroy
me because He is stronger than anything I face.
And I know that with God on my side, all will
be well, whether I understand how or not.

I am so very grateful for His constant presence
in my life. I am so thankful that He brought me
to the place of total surrender several years ago.
and for using each difficult circumstance that I
have since faced to increase my faith. When the
going gets tough and I begin to reflect on the
many times and various ways He has seen me
through each one, I am able to trust Him
completely to see me through the trial I
currently face.
I chose this picture because this
is how I feel when I’m able to completely trust Him
in spite of my circumstances. It's like He's hugging
me and whispering, "It's going to be okay."
Ta Ta for now, y'all :) I have more to post but I don't have the time now.

Favorite Things

Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh: my family Starbucks with friends reading blogs :) parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh? bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!) My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!) breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!) my new XTi :) Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!) scrapbooking (digital and regular) Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it) women friends in general the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourag...

"Cool" Lunch

I usually make Ashley take her lunch three days out of the week (she "gets" to buy on the other two days, even though she doesn't actually eat the food--part of the whole "fit in with the crowd" issue) . I was having a SERIOUSLY hard time getting her to bring her lunch, and it occurred to me one day that if she took "fancier" sandwiches, she might not fight it so much. So ... I started making Chicken Salad and getting various toppings (she likes the jars of roasted peppers, pepperoncinis, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, etc.) as well as buying bolillos or other fancier sandwich breads. That went over well. It went over so well that her friends would ask for a taste, and rave about how yummy the sandwich was. They were actually jealous of Ashley's lunch (yeah! now she won't be the "geek" who brings her lunch; she'll be the girl who brings cool lunches--mission accomplished and then some!) . One of her friends I know rather well, because...

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...
