The Next Chapter - September 30,2012

The Next Chapter

Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, NLT


Almost everything is out of your control....you can only control yourself and how you react or don't react to something! When we take it in stride we can face anything. Pray for everything and everyone. Sometimes we struggle in private and when we share our struggles with God we grow stronger in our faith in whatever outcome. We can overcome....


"Overcome"- Jeremy Camp

Seated above, enthroned in the Father's love
Seated above, enthroned in the Father's love
Destined to die, poured out for all mankind
God's only Son, perfect and spotless one
He never sinned but suffered as if He did

All authority
Every victory is Yours
All authority
Every victory is Yours

Savior, worthy of honor and glory
Worthy of all our praise, You overcame
Jesus, awesome in power forever
Awesome and great is Your name, You overcame

Power in hand speaking the Father's plan
You're sending us out, light in this broken land

We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony, everyone overcome

The Next Chapter

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. ~
1 John 2:15

The world we live in is toxic to our faith and spirituality..... "May we listen, Lord, to You as You speak to us today
Through Your Spirit and Your Word—
Help us follow and obey." —Sper
I struggle to hear you today, I pray for clarity in your path. I mustn't let the noise of the world keep you from hearing the voice of the Lord.

Building 429 ~ You Save Me

Hold your breath, take a step it's gonna be your day
They're asking you to speak the truth but you don't know what to say
Feel the fear creeping up like you were on a stage
You've had enough you're stepping up to say what you came to say
Say it just say it just say it
Say it just say it just say it

It's in my heart, it's in my soul, it's something that I can't let go
I come alive every time, I can feel You
All I am and all I'll be is different since You set me free
I come alive every time
Cause You save me, Lord You save me

You're feeling good just like you should but now you can feel the weight
Of people's eyes they pass you by hoping that you will fade
So live it just live it just live it
So live it just live it just say

It's in my heart, it's in my soul, it's something that I can't let go
I come alive every time, I can feel You
All I am and all I'll be is different since You set me free
I come alive every time
Cause You save me, Lord You save me

Cause this is not what we thought it would be
And this is why we gotta speak
Cause there is love oh there is hope
We gotta live it out, live it out so they will know

Just say it's in my heart, it's in my soul, it's something that I can't let go
I come alive every time I can feel You
All I am and all I'll be is different since You set me free
I come alive every time
Just say, just say
It's in my heart, it's in my soul, it's something that I can't let go
I come alive every time, I can feel You
All I am and all I'll be is different since You set me free
I come alive every time
Cause You save me, Lord You save me
You save me, You save me yeah

Hold your breath, take a step, it's gonna be your day

The Next Chapter

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. ~ Isaiah 41:10

I went to a wedding this weekend in VT, I loved my time, meeting great people. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by Christians who truly love the Lord.
Remembering to trust his path even when it feels shaky, I can only control myself, I continue to make good choices.

Weekend in New England - Barry Manilow

Last night I wave goodbye, now it seems years
I'm back in the city where nothing is clear
But thoughts of me, holding you
Bringing us near

And tell me when will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when will I hold you again

Time in New England took me away
To long rocky beaches and you, by the bay
We started a story
Whose end must now wait

And tell me when will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when will I hold you again

I feel the change comin'
I feel the wind blow
I feel brave and daring
I feel my blood flow

With you I could bring out
All the love, that I have
With you there's a Heaven
So earth ain't so bad

And tell me when will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when will I hold you again, again

The Next Chapter

Then when you call, the Lord will answer. 'Yes, I am here,' he will quickly reply. ~ Isaiah 58:9, NLT

Who am I Lord, I am yours. I will serve. Continue to mold me as you wish and use me for your glory. As I ponder my future and wonder (not worry)where you will use me I wait for your guidance. I call out in prayer and continue to make changes in my life for your glory.

"Learning To Be The Light" - Neweorldson

When the stars came crashing down
In tiny pieces to the ground
I was all alone down here
Trapped beneath the atmosphere
Then I, thought somebody called my name
I spun around and caught a flame
I gave into a God I didn't know
And now everything is falling into place
A brand new life is calling and I owe it all to grace

It's so much brighter living in Your world
Savior, what You did for me
You gave me something I want everyone to see
When we struggle and it all goes wrong
Only You can make it right
So I say
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa, whoa

When a heart is cold as ice
You can't melt it with advice
No one wants to listen to
A list of things they shouldn't do
So I build a city on a hill
And I light a candle on the sill
Knowing You'll be always knocking at the door
Oh God I just want to love on everyone
All I have is Yours to give so let the people come

It's so much brighter living in Your world
Savior what You did for me
You gave me something I want everyone to see
When we struggle and it all goes wrong
Only You can make it right
So I say
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light

That makes the shadows hide
The light that breaks the curse of pride
The light that takes the weary in its arms

When it all came crashing down
There was only darkness all around
But in the distance I could see
A flame

It's so much brighter living in Your world
Savior what You did for me
You gave me something I want everyone, I mean everyone to see
When we struggle and it all goes wrong
Only You can make it right
So I say
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light
Whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light!
