Along The Way

I Won’t Give Up

I won’t give up when I face opposition

I won’t give up in the worst of conditions

I won’t give up cause I’m fighting a battle that’s already won

You’ve already won

It’s already done

Glory to God

We serve an amazing God who is up to something great in our lives. He is working through the death of our sweet Lily to bring life, restoration, and hope to so many. Our Hope is Jesus who has already conquered death. He is the first example of death no longer bringing death, for those who love Him, but life and life ABUNDANTLY. He is up to something great in our lives through this. You will begin to see it happen, and you will stand amazed, and when you look back at this post and as you watch our lives may you give glory and praise not to us but to the living God who is actively at work in us right now! If you have not yet may you give your life to Jesus so that you may experience everlasting BLESSING and JOY and HOPE and LOVE even in the midst of temporary suffering! Glory be to Jesus!

THE HOUSE

I’ve built a house I can’t keep clean
Large rooms filled with needs I can’t sustain
Rusted frames and dusty floors
I act like the rich but remain the poor

Yet out I go and loudly I speak
Telling all to come and see
Everything I’ve done
Everything I am
me me me

Then to the house I return
With much more than I’ve earned
Only adding to this cluttered space
That which could never fill this selfish place

I’ve worked and I’ve built this house to be
A house of self and a house of me

So tear down these walls and rip up these floors
Destroy this house till I remain no more

Then Lord build again a house that’s new
A house of Love and a house of You

The Call

It’s not so you can support yourself or your family.

It’s not so you can get more stuff.

It’s not for comfort. 

It’s not for your image. 

It’s not for accomplishments. 

It’s not just so you can say you are busy. 

It’s to make Him known. 

How are you doing with that?

"Thine own Self forever filling
With self-kindled flame,
In Thyself Thou art distilling
Unctions without name!
Without worshipping of creatures,
Without veiling of Thy features,
God always the same!"
