The Next Chapter - November 5, 2012

The Next Chapter

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. ~ Psalm 138:8

Steadfast love......  Endures forever....  Sometimes we all feel down, and while today it is not me, I still managed to yell at my kids for just being kids.  Yesterday I felt like "I got this I can do this" I can change this part of me I do not like, and be a better Mom.  And it was going great, even better than expected.  But kids will be kids, and they need to test the "new" you and see what your breaking point is.  And when you ask for quiet to get your homework done, it definitively means start a ruckus and fight with each other.
Now I blame myself for trying to do homework before bedtime.  Which I promptly corrected with a book and prayer time with them, and without another word I have 2 sleeping kids.  And my homework is done..... Amen to that!


"Christ Is Risen" - Matt Maher

Let no one caught in sin remain*
Inside the lie of inward shame
We fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely you bled, for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave!

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave!

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bow to none but heavens will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold you down
In strength you reign
Forever let your church proclaim

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave

Oh death! Where is your sting?
Oh hell! Where is your victory?
Oh Church! Come stand in the light!
The glory of God has defeated the night!

Oh death! Where is your sting?
Oh hell! Where is your victory?
Oh Church! Come stand in the light!
Our God is not dead, he's alive! he's alive!

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave

Rise up from the grave...
