Back Is To The Wall - Blessed Voices

This song says it all.





You've been to the doctor and he just shook his head.

So many nights you've suffered lying in bed.

But you can't seem to make it.

Your body is ill.

Friend God likes to work when nothing else will.



2)

You've been to the banker.

He said no with regret.

You've tried everyway just to get ahead.

But you're hoping and praying for a miracle still.

Oh God likes to work when nothing else will.



Chorus)

God likes to work

When your back's to the wall

When faith's in the balance

And you're just about to fall.

So there'll be no mistaking when He blesses and heals

Oh God likes to work when nothing else will.



ending)

So there'll be no mistaking when He blesses and heals

Oh God likes to work when nothing else will.

The Love Of God

Have you ever had one of those moments when your child said something that just made our heart swell with pride and brought tear to your eyes?  I love those moments!
 My daughter had been longing for a kitten for ever so long. Because we are a liscenced daycare there are certain shots required to own a pet and as anyone knows those shots aren't free! I've spent more money than I care to think about on shots for kittens only to have the kittens mysteriously disappear. It's happened over and over again till I was done with getting any sort of cat/kitten!
 My daughter understood all that but that didn't squelch her desire for a cat. So she decided if she saved up $100 to cover the first shots maybe I would let her get a kitten? I agreed. She changed her mind. "Too hard", she said. After a couple months she changed her mind again and started stashing every bit of allowance she could and selling toys.
 Finally the day came when we could get a kitten. We decided to try the pet store first in hopes of finding a kitten with shots. No luck. All they had were full grown cats for $125. My niece suggested we try a pet store on the other side of town (Thanks Amanda! Smart thinking!) So we headed across town.
 We were overjoyed to find they had three kittens and a sale! Marked down from  $99.99 to $66.99 and that included shots and a free first vet visit!
 After the purchases were made and we were on the way home I looked at my daughter and said, "I think you might want to tell God thank you for making this all work out so good". And with the sweetest smile on her face and a tear in her eye she said,  "I already did".
  The very fact that in the middle of her excitement she had remembered who to thank for how this all worked out filled this mammas heart with joy and thanksgiving!!!


The love of God is so immense that it will even reach to a 10 year old little girl who is longing for a kitten! The love of God cares about the smallest details in our life. He didn't send His Son to die on the cross for us and then forget about us. He is still  paying attention to every detail, every cry of our hearts. My 10 year old has a faith in God that God can work with and He will not leave her stranded. Neither will he leave you or me stranded. He cares!

Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.  Isaiah 49:13

I have always LOVED music. I live, sleep and breath music. I could sit for hours listening to songs, finding new songs, learning songs, singing along with the songs that touch me deeply. Worshiping, raising my hands in praise, being moved to tears.There can be so much encouragement and uplifting of the spirit in the messages.
 Here is a song that has a wonderful message!

Jesus Cries

We're never alone! Jesus is always right with us in our pain and He wants us to know He understands and will help us thru it if we want Him to.
 He's such an awesome friend!!

The Power Of Your Love Song And Lyrics

Oh how powerful His love is!! Nothing compares to it!



~Lyrics~

Lord I come to you


Let my heart be changed, renewed

Flowing from the grace

That I've found in you

Lord i've come to know

The weakenesses I see in me

Will be stripped away

By the power of your love



Hold me close

Let your love surround me

Bring me near

Draw me to your side

And as I wait

I'll rise up like the eagle

And I will soar with you

Your spirit leads me on

By the power of your love



Lord unveil my eyes

Let me see you face to face

The knowledge of your love

As you live in me

Lord renew my mind

As your will unfolds in my life

In living every day

By the power of your love



Hold me close

Let your love surround me

Bring me near

Draw me to your side

And as I wait

I'll rise up like the eagle

And I will soar with you

Your spirit leads me on

By the power of your love



Hold me close

Let your love surround me

Bring me near

Draw me to your side

And as I wait

I'll rise up like the eagle

And I will soar with you

Your spirit leads me on

By the power of your love

And I will soar with you

Your spirit leads me on

In the power of your love

And I will soar with you

Your spirit leads me on

In the power of your love

Thank You Lord!

Matthew 15: 33-38
 And His disciples said unto Him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
And He took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the brokem meat that was left seven baskets full.
And they that did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children.

I find it interesting here that Jesus took the little they had and rather than praying for God to increase it He gave thanks.
I would have taken the food and told God all about my problem and exactly what I needed Him to do then waited for it to happen. After it happens then I would feel surprised and start thanking God for what I just saw! 
This isn't the only time Jesus gave thanks before he saw any evidence of anything happening. In the story of Lazarus ( Luke 11), Jesus said, "Father I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me. And I knew that Thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that Thou hast sent me.
And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus come forth.
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Again, Jesus thanked God and then proceeded to tell Lazarus (who by this time has been dead four days) to come out of the cave.
If I trust that God is going to meet my needs I think I could do a much better job of thanking Him even before I see any evidence. That is a sign that I actually believe He is and will taking care of me.

Walking On The Water

Matthew 14: 24-31
 But the ship (the one the disciples were on) was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves; for the wind was contrary.
 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the wter.
 And he said , Come. And Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
 And immediatly Jesus stretched forth His hand and caught him and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?


Ok, who in their right mind is going to step out of a boat in the middle of the rough sea? Right? Well I ask you this, would you rather step out of the boat in the middle of a calm sea?
 The very fact that Peter stepped out of the boat at all was a great show of faith. You would think that after he realized he could walk on water even "the wind boisterous" wouldn't have been able to shake him but aren't we the same way. When things are going good we think we can "walk on water" and anything seems possible. But let a little (or big) storm come along and all of a sudden our confidence gets shaken and we look away from Jesus. That's when we start sinking. It's not the "problem" that causes us to sink, it's taking our eyes off Jesus. As long as we keep our eyes on Jesus whether we are in the calm of life or in the midst of a tormoil the impossible is possible.
 There is power in looking to Jesus.No matter how insurmountable your circumstances and challenges are, turn away from them and keep your eyes on Jesus.
