| Keep having FAITH...don't give up.....

| "Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord,
until he comes and showers righteouseness on you. But you have
planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of
deception, Because you have depended on your own strength and on your
many warriors." Hosea 10:12-13
It is time...time to seek the Lord...time to stop putting it off and
making excuses, time to stand firm and be bold! How many time have you
and I depended on our own strength? How many times have you turned away
because of fear? For myself...there are too many times to even begin to
count. I want to do it on my own, because for some reason I think I
have some kinda of control. And then I am reminded of the Lord's
Sovereignty. I fear persecution, and rejection. I fear not being good
enough, and falling short. But Jesus has made both you and I worthy. He
has poured His mercy and grace upon us! Everyday we take His unfailing
love for granted. I challenge you and myself...to abide in the Lord
today, know that He has created you for a specific purpose! You are
treasured and cherished and pursued.....don't ever forget that! Run to
the Father....

| "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his
compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your
faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I
will wait for him.' The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to
the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of
the Lord. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young."
Lamentations 3:22-27

| I know...it's been awhile...but I heard this song on the radio as I was
driving back to school and I had to just stop and listen to the words
and I said to myself..."That is so me...." ..so I thought maybe I
should share the words of this Superchick song with the rest of you
guys....
"Stand in the Rain"
She never slows down
She doesn't know why but,
She knows that when
Shes all alone, it feels
Like its all, coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long
And she fears if she cries
That first tear
The tears will not stop
Raining down
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when its all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain
She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself
And the fears whispering
If she stands, she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through
Everything she's running from
Wants to give up and lie down
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when its all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when its all crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day whats lost can be found
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when its all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day whats lost can be found

Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me one magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You
Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me on magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You
To know and follow hard after you
To grow as your dicsiple in your truth
This world is empty, pale, and poor
Compared to knowing you, my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after you

And to grow as your disciple in your truth
This world is empty, pale, and poor
Compared to knowing you my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after you

Lead me on and I will run after you | | |
