This rock is permanently cleft in two.
However broken we may become, God can repair us.
We only have to ask and trust in Him.

I am broken, Lord, I am broken
I totally surrender to You
I give it all to You
When the future seems "foggy" read the "God's Word" for guidance.
It has all the answers
God will speak to you in ways you cannot imagine
and give you peace.

My pride is gone
My spirit is broken
My spirit is broken
There is only You
And that is enough
You empty me out
And that is enough
You empty me out
I trust You to take me around the blind bends of life
and know You will take me to safety.
You guide me along the right paths and restore my soul.
And then fill me up with Your love
You mold me into a new person
Your person
and know You will take me to safety.
You guide me along the right paths and restore my soul.
And then fill me up with Your love
You mold me into a new person
Your person
My way is gone, broken, laid aside
I surrender to Your will and Your love
Thy will be done, not mine
And it will be perfect
The snow covered path is not easy
but with God as your guide, the destination will be wonderful.
Surrender yourself to the Lord,The snow covered path is not easy
but with God as your guide, the destination will be wonderful.
and wait patiently for him.
Psalm 37:7 God's Word Translation
When you surrender to God, He makes all things beautiful.
I Lay It All at Your Feet, Lord
I give You all our problems
We are all broken, Loving Father
Only You can mend us
Only You can take all these issues,
all these problems,
all this pain and make it right
all these problems,
all this pain and make it right
God's love and blessings will break through the ice of life's troubles
and flow upon us if we only look to Him who is reaching out to us.
and flow upon us if we only look to Him who is reaching out to us.
I give it all to You
I lay all of us at Your feet, at the foot of the Cross
I give You our talents and shortcomings
I raise our joys as well as our sorrows to You
I give You everything about us
We are weak but You are strong
We cannot handle our problems on our own
You can overcome them all
I lay them all at Your Feet, at the foot of the cross
You sent Your only Son to free us
from the power of sin
and to give us life everlasting,
to give us life in the fullest
from the power of sin
and to give us life everlasting,
to give us life in the fullest
I offer us to You and humbly ask Your forgiveness
for all our sins
for all our sins
I ask for You to take us, all that we are
and make us into the children You want us to be
and make us into the children You want us to be
I humbly ask for that life in the fullest for us
now Lord
now Lord
I humbly ask You to help us now,
in the time of our great need
in the time of our great need
The clouds in this sunset seem to reach out to us as do the hands of God.
We only have to hold out our hands
and He will take us and hug us in His loving arms.
We only have to hold out our hands
and He will take us and hug us in His loving arms.
Thank You Loving Father for loving us so much,
for listening to our prayers
and for coming to help us
for listening to our prayers
and for coming to help us
Blessed be Your most holy name. Amen
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10
I am nothing compared to the glory and majesty of our God.
But He loves me so much
that even the hairs of my head are numbered
and He knows that number so well.
Book Reviews
Why I Am a Christian by John Stott
Rev. Stott discusses why God who is "the hound of heaven" pursues us and why He values us so greatly. Rev. Stott says that Christianity explains who Christ is, what He achieved on the cross and explains who we are and much more.. Jesus never stops inviting us to come to Him. This is a very interesting and compelling book. I heartily recommend it.
Billy Graham God's Ambassador by Russ Busby
God put it on my heart to check out Billy Graham. When was he born? What did he do? What did he stand for? This book is full of helpful information and pictures that give a brief overview of exactly that. It has been in the back of my mind to learn about him for a long time. The first time I experieneced the Holy Spirit was during one of Billy Graham's televised crusades. I borrowed this book from the Knapps Station Church Library.

These little footie prints were in the mud outside my house the other day.
I think they might be from the skunk who gets under our porch
and "perfumes" our house.
