A song that's on my heart..

VICTORY IN JESUS

I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory.


Chorus
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.

I heard about His healing,
Of His cleansing pow'r revealing.
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus,
Come and heal my broken spirit,"
And somehow Jesus came and bro't
To me the victory.

Chorus
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.

I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory.
And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing,
And the old redemption story,
And some sweet day I'll sing up there
The song of victory.


Chorus
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.



HOW BEAUTIFUL AND TRUE! THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR CLEANSING POWER! PRAISE THE ALMIGHTY GOD!!!!!!

Prayer Life

I will be the first to admit that as a young Christian my prayer life isn't that great. But for the first time I've really seen the truth is God's prayer promises.

Psalm 6:9 "Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will recieve my prayer."

Psalm 66:19 "But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer."

Jeremiah 33:3 "Call unto me, and I will answer the, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."

Jeremiah 29:12 "Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you."


These are just a FEW of the promises that can be found in HIS word! Our LORD is so faithful, loving, and just that HE offers Himself to us endlessly. It feels so amazing to KNOW that I have a GOD that I can depend on, that will comfort me when I need it, give me strength when I need it, and love me ALWAYS! I've found when I pour my burdens out to the LORD HE is faithful to lift them from me and give me rest. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." -Matthew 11:28

It took me awhile to really develop good prayer habits, and I still have A TON of room to grow. But I went from barely praying at all to praying daily multiple times when the mood strikes! I purposed to pray more and now it seems second nature. I spent days here and there devoting the entire day to prayer. I would pray before every move and then thank God immediately after. Other days I would purpose to pray continuously about a certain topic. I basically DRILLED it into myself to pray! I pray for my church, my church family, my friends, unsaved family, my fiances family, and then what ever needs I have. I thank God continuously for all His MANY blessings! Now with the help from my wonderful SAVIOR praying isn't a chore anymore! I love to have that one on one time with God, to just let Him know what I'm happy about, what I'm sad about, and what I'm needing His help with. I know He already knows, but it feels good to be able to vent to an always listening ear! What's better than being able to freely speak to God??????? I can only think of one thing; Him speaking to us! But then again that's what out Bibles are for!

In HIM always,

A Ribband of Blue...




On Easter Sunday my pastor gave a wonderful sermon that I've been meditating on for some time now. The sermon was on remembering and keeping God's commandments. Not in order for us to obtain and maintain salvation but rather to show our love for our savior and creator! I've been going back and forth on what God's will is for me and not being sure if I am clearly "hearing His voice", but sitting in church with my fiance by my side I realized that my WONDERFUL SAVIOR has been placing a burden on my heart to follow the things He has laid out before me.

"37And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

38Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:

39And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them ; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:

40That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

41I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God." -Numbers 15:37-41


I will be keeping a "ribband of blue" on my blog to remind my self and others of the commands that our wonderful and loving God has given us. The commands aren't to hinder us but rather to help us grow. He knows what's best and I am striving to trust Him in ALL areas. I find when I'm reading my Bible that I am searching for what it is that God wants me to do. I'm constantly searching for direction. I am still a new Christian and I know that it will take a life time to even learn what all of the commands of God are. But there are areas in my life where I can firmly stand and begin my obedience.

I think it's only fitting that I start with learning and preparing myself to be a submissive wife. I'm currently studying this, reading and reviewing scriptures. I know that since God said it in His word He means it.

Another area that I've been focusing on is praising God. I want to be certain that I am honoring Him in all that I do and that I am properly showing Him praise. Past studies have shown me that there is an incorrect way to praise Him, and that's not a mistake I want to make!

This journey has taught me SOOOO much and I'm so excited to keep learning. I know I've been away for awhile but I'm back and even more hungry for my Lord than before!

Yours in Christ,
Tee

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!!

Praise GOD! the weather is finally warming up! I love spring! It's such an awesome time to sit back and reflect on the love of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST! This Resurrection Sunday I have a lot to be thankful for! Not only am I thankful for the work that was done on the cross but I am thankful for being ENGAGED! I am very pleased to announce that S/O is now my Fiance! We have set the date for October 2, 2010. This is such a joyous and busy time for me. I'm trying to train my daughter and teach her about why this time of year means so much to us as Christians and also not rob her of the fun of the season. She is only 16 months so she doesn't understand it all, but I think in the future we will focus on the beauty of spring and how God created it all! Also planning a wedding is A LOT of work! So much has gone on and I want to fill you in on every little detail but its too much to even begin. Although I haven't been posting I have still been loving the Lord. my only access to the Internet is through my Blackberry so unless I can get on to my moms it will still be a bit difficult to post but I'll be working on it. Until next time.
