Thank You (It's that simple)

I was listening to this song this morning (one of my favorites) and I felt it necessary to share...

What if in morning when I wake up
Even before I fill my coffee cup
I said thank You
Thank You

What if I look at the day and the hours ahead
And before I move forward I bowed my head
And said thank You
Oh I said thank You

What if I looked at my life in a different way
Took a little more time to stop and pray
I know it would change all the moments in between
So here I go

Thank You for everything
Thank You for loving me
It don't even matter what tomorrow brings
Well I will sing my

Thank You for sun and rain
For what You give and take away
For all Your goodness I will always say
Thank You
Oh I'll say thank You

What if I lost everything that I had
I could smile and somehow still be glad
And say thank You
Thank you

Cause life is joy, life is pain
But the prayer on my heart will never change
I say thank You
Oh I'll say thank You

This song really makes me think because how many times do I just stop and thank God for everything He has done for me, instead of being angry with what He hasn't done? This past week I definitely gave praises to Him because He has done a lot for me just in the past week. Given me things that I worked for, shown me things that I was doing right, and other things. So let this just be a reminder to me, and to all of us, to not forget to thank Him for EVERYTHING; not just the big stuff. Its about the small stuff, too.

Work it Out

So i dont have a lot of time to write, or make this long....but i just wanted to remind everyone that even though things might look like they are headed for the worst, if you rely on God, He will definitely provide =] He works it out!

That situation just happened to me =]

YAY!!!!

Rescued

I'm new to this whole thing. Bear with me =]

So lately I've been struggling a lot.
There's been so much on my plate,
and it seemed like everything was falling apart.
Could anything else go wrong?
This song is how I was feeling for a while.....


RESCUE ME

I've drifted so far
Can't even see the shore
I've been lost in the waves
But haven't been fighting
I'm sinking fast
Oh is there an end to this
I can't breathe I'm in too deep
But You can save me
I'm crying out to You

I'm drowning in my decisions
And I'm frustrated and I'm disappointed
It's my world You see and I want out

So come and rescue me
I'm here on bended knee
And I'm crying out to You
All I really, really want is to be free
So take my hand here I am
Oh come and free me
So take my hand here I am
Oh come and rescue me


Buttttttttt, this morning, God totally broke me down. I was listening to this song and I started crying. Heres part of it...


Jesus if you're really there,
I need you now cause no one cares
Is anybody even listening

God will never walk out on you
He'll be the Father that you never knew
He loves you, more than words can say
He won't leave you when you need Him the most
His love is unconditional
And you know, you put a smile upon His face


=]

I've realized why I've been the way I was...I was drifting...but the coolest thing about God is that He wants us. And He was trying to break me down so that I could see that. And it worked. I was letting other things occupy my time, and I was definitely stressed with finishing school and IB exams. I tried to do it alone, and figure things out on my own, but God showed me that I cant. I need to trust in Him, and allow Him to guide me. What JJ said a while ago: if you are close with God and stay with Him, He will make your path straight. That is extremely true. We have an awesome God, who desires to have a relationship with us; we must always remember that!!!
