"Be still," I hear Him softly say.
"Be still, lay all aside."
He who mad the universe stoops down,
and gathers up my cares.
"Be still," He chides again.
His work begins within my weary soul.
"Be patient. In quiet stay.
Listen to me."
Though pressed in every side,
I clear my heart and mind.
In timid voice and heart,
I lift to Him my praise.
How quiet, His presence.
How healing His words.
In hushed awe, I listen.
I savor each one.
My will He bends.
My heart, He sweeps clean.
My strength, He renews.
My soul, He fills to overflowing.
He teaches through His word.
I heed what He tells me.
I stand and give Him praise.
Together we go forth and serve.

Mercy Me Concert

Hi Friends,
We attended the Mercy Me concert tonight with Phil Wickham. It was Awesome! They really let go in the spirit and allowed God to use them to be a blessing. If they come to Your area, go and be blessed. In the slide are a few pictures from the concert all photo's are ©. I hope You enjoy them. I love the song playing on my profile so much that I'm posting the lyricks to it. Sometime's We don't have the words that we need to speak to God. Sometimes we find ourselves going through things that we just don't know what to say. Those are the times that we need to listen to what God is saying to us. God bless You..Yvonne



Lyricks I'm finding myself at a loss for words And the funny thing is it's okay The last thing I need is to be heard But to hear what You would say [CHORUS] Word of God speak Would You pour down like rain Washing my eyes to see Your majesty To be still and know That You're in this place Please let me stay and rest In Your holiness Word of God speak I'm finding myself in the midst of You Beyond the music, beyond the noise All that I need is to be with You And in the quiet hear Your voice [REPEAT CHORUS 2x] I'm finding myself at a loss for words And the funny thing is it's okay

God always answers prayer

I found this to be both enlightening and comforting. When the idea is not right God says, "No".
No~ when the idea is not the best.
No~ when the idea is absolutely wrong
No ~ When though it may help You, it will create problems for someone else.
When the time is not right, God says, "Slow."
What a catastrophe it would be if God answered every prayer at the snap of your fingers. Do you know that would happen? God would become your servant, not your master. Suddenly, God would be working for you instead of you working for God. Remember: God's delays are not God's denials. God's timing is perfect. Patience is what we need in prayer. When you are not right, God says, "Grow." The selfish person has to grow in unselfishness. The cautious person grow courage. The timid person must grow in confidence. The dominating person must grow in sensitivity. The critical person must grow in tolerance. The negative person must grow in positive attitudes. The pleasure~seeking person must grow in compassion for suffering people.
When everything is all right, God says, "Go." Then miracles happen: A hopeless alcoholic is set free! A drug addict finds release! A doubter becomes as a child in his belief. Diseased tissue responds to treatment, and healing begins. The door to your dream suddenly swings open and there stands God saying, "Go!"~Robert Schuller

If the Lord has you on hold... hold on! If the Lord has said "NO" to you... thank Him! If the Lords is molding your heart and mind... go with His change! If the Lord opens doors that you have asking Him to open... Praise Him! Be blessed wherever you are in your life today! God has His hands on the situation!

Tempted?

YUMMMMM....HOT! KRISPY KREME THE GREAT AMERICAN DIET (LOL) TEMPTATION IS NOT SIN, YIELDING TO IT IS Regard it all JOY, When you FACE various kinds of TEMPTATIONS; for you know that all the testing of your trust produces perserverence. But let perserverence do its complete work; so that you may be complete and whole, lacking nothing. How BLESSED is the man who perserveres through TEMPTATION! For after he has PASSED the TEST, he will recieve as his crown of LIFE which God has promised to those who loves HIM. No one being tempted should say," I am being tempted by God". For God can not be tempted by evil, and God Himself tempts No one. Rather, each person is being tempted whenever he is being dragged off and enticed by the bait of his OWN DESIRE. That having conceived, the DESIRE gives BIRTH to SIN; and when sin is FULLY GROWN, it gives birth to DEATH. DO not love the world or the things of the world, If someone loves the world, then love for the Father is not in him, because all the things of the world- the desires of the old nature, the desires of the eyes, and the pretentions of life- are not from the Father but from the world. And the world is passing away, along with its desires, But whoever does God's will remains forever. LET US FOLLOW JESUS' EXAMPLE .......WWJD? WALKING WITH JESUS DAILY (thank you M. Rose)

Portrait of a Friend

"Portrait of a Friend" I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers. I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain, nor the future with its untold stories. But I can be there now when you need me to care. I can't keep your feet from stumbling. I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall. Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine; Yet I can share in your laughter. Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge; I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask. I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me. I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you. I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you, But I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself. I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting, But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place. I can't tell you who you are. I can only love you and be your friend.--Unknown

Two women talking in heaven

Two women talking in Heaven 1st woman: Hi! My name is Wanda. 2nd woman: Hi! I'm Sylvia. How'd you die? 1st woman: I froze to death. 2nd woman: How horrible! 1st woman: It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm 'n sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you? 2nd woman: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV. 1st woman: So, what happened? 2nd woman: I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died. 1st woman: Too bad you didn't look in the freezer . . . . We'd both still be alive!!

R U a Bad Fish?

The kingdom of Heaven is a net thrown into the lake, that caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fishermen brought the net up onto the shore, sat down and collected all the good fish in baskets. But, threw the bad fish away. So it will be at the close of the age.
Matthew 13:47-49
