No Matter What

This song has been on my heart for several months now and each time I hear it I am pleasantly reminded of God's faithfulness and His promise that He's always with us. Often times when I throw a little pitty party for myself when life trials come my way, I forget that God already knew way in advance that I'd be faced with each and every one of them. As this song states - "Before a heartache can ever touch my life it has to go through Your hands..." How encouraging to be reminded that God already knows what's coming and He promises to enable me with what I need to go through each and every circumstance that I face with His help if I'm willing to let go and let God. Why can't I just rest in that when life drama seems completely overwhelming? This song also says - "I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain, But if not, if not - I’ll trust You..." It would be nice if everything turned out fine like we want it to, WHEN we want it but God certainly knows way better than we do or ever will. His timing is perfect. Even though the pains may come, I am praying that I can continue on this journey of life being reminded that God is in complete control of my life and all the circumstances that surround me on a daily basis. I'm so glad I don't have to carry the weight of all those burdens and cares on my own! Thank you, Jesus! :)

Romance

Music speaks to me. I have always been fascinated with various styles of music and have a very diverse range of musical interests. Sometimes when I find a song that speaks straight to my heart, I listen to it over and over so much so that it would probably be annoying to most people. Thank God for headphones. :) Several weeks ago a friend from church posted the following video on her Facebook (Thanks Heather!) and while I'd heard of "Jesus Culture" before I hadn't really listened to much of their music. This song mesmerizes me and I love it. 

Won't you dance with me

Oh, Lover of my soul

To the song of all songs

With You, I will go You are my Love

You are my Fair one

The winter has passed and the springtime has come

Won't you dance with me

Oh, Lover of my soul

To the song of all songs

Romance me

Oh, Lover of my soul

To the song of all songs

I just love the above lyrics that are brought out in this song. It's no secret that women love to be romanced and I'm no different than any other woman on the face of this earth. I have an amazing husband who loves me more than I could ever imagine any single human being loving me and even better, I have a Heavenly Father who loves me even more!! How awesome is that?? I have a deep desire to be romanced by the ultimate Lover of my soul and I'm so thankful God has placed me where I am today. While some days my human nature questions why I have to face the things He lays before me, this song and many others remind me that I'm not alone and while I'm on this journey with family/friends who are very dear to me, I have the greatest promise of a wonderful Savior and the best friend I could ever ask for. Thank you Jesus for offering me the gracious gift of eternal salvation that can only be found through YOU.
