You Are God Alone

I have been singing this song in my head the last few days, in times when I feel uncertain about the future of our country and of our freedoms as Christians...This song means so much!

You are not a god
Created by human hands
You are not a god
Dependant on any mortal man
You are not a god
In need of anything we can give
By Your plan, that’s just the way it is

You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
Your are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone

You’re the only God
Whose power none can contend
You’re the only God
Whose name and praise will never end
You’re the only God
Who’s worthy of everything we can give
You are God
And that’s just the way it is

Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That’s what You are

My Dear Friend...

A very good friend of mine from High School passed away yesterday. She found out in January that she had a tumor on her brain. Over the last few months she had 2 surgeries. She never fully awoke from the second one.

She was such an amazing example of Jesus Christ. Her and her family have been so strong and faithful.

Ramey had a beautiful voice. You can hear some of her stuff here

There is more about Ramey and her journey here

Yesterday our Lord called her home.
Please pray for her husband and her 7 year old son.
She was only 33 years old. But she leaves behind a legacy of beauty, sharing Jesus UNASHAMEDLY, and honesty and love.

This song has encouraged me through this time.

Books

I haven't been a big reader since I was a kid. But right now I'm working on 2 books. One is a devotional/pray journal type book, and the other is a marriage book.

Life is too short to have a so-so marriage, in my opinion. I can guarentee, for those of you who have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, that if you take the first steps to bettering your marriage, you will begin to see changes and feel changes. But you have to have patience to stick it out. God will WORK OUT what you WORK IN! :-)....I heard that from Beth Moore.

So here are the books:
The Joy of a Promise Kept: The Powerful Role Wives Play


Whispers of Hope


So there is my unsolicited 2 cents for the day.
:-)
Blessings to you all!

Remember When?

Remember when I would write on my blog daily? Several times daily? Now I don't even do it once a month.

Part of me misses the blog world....but I have to say....my house is now USUALLY pretty clean....I've gotten more involved in things here in the real world....

But still...there is something so special about all of you that I've never 'met' but formed such great friendships with.

I just want you to know I am still here...

I will eventually change my slideshow and add some new pictures....eventually.

For now, here are some recent ones....relatively recent I suppose....

Can you believe how my girls are growing up? Where on earth does time go?

Expelled - The Movie...Check It Out

She's 14

When I became mom, she was 7 (almost 8)....holy cow. She's grown up right in front of my eyes. She's 5'8 (I'm only 5'4 mind you)....beautiful, smart, Christ-centered, respectful, considerate, motivated.....WHEN? Tell me where the time has gone!

I'm looking for a pic of her right now....it's tricky to find one...she tends to hide from the camera FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON....most pics are ones with silly faces which would TOTALLY embarass her..

Pic from our wedding, she was almost 8

Last 2 years of posts about her bday with pics...
12th Bday
13th Bday
Just wanted to share!
