Only God Can Do All of This...

 🙌 It's crazy amazing how God is working through Forrest Frank recently. He has given him so much talent and has been blessing his music and it is wildly received. He has been blowing up the charts. His album Child of God ranked #28 on the (all-genre) Billboard's Top 200. His current album, Child of God II, is at #12. And now, there is a new #1

Two weeks ago, he was skateboarding outside his home and actually hit the corner of his house. His back was broken. His tour was interrupted and he has been under a doctor's care. 

I just wanted to highlight this for the glory of God. Only He can do what is being done. This is how Forrest has been handling it all. I'm sorry, not sorry for the list of videos. I think it plays out perfectly and doesn't really need any extra explanation. I hope this blesses your soul as much as it did mine. 💖

This is how you wait well and cast your cares on Christ...

I hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have. It's sort of like being along for the journey, behind the song. 😃 Watch God go. He's showing up and showing off. I love it!! 😍💖 Our Jesus is more than amazing!! 🙌🙌  Have a blessed day! 😊

Even Then by Micah Tyler

Here are a few songs to get you started this morning.  Up first are a couple of new favorites. Then an old favorite. Then, a song by Lauren Daigle. ;)

I hope you have a beautiful day!! God bless you!


Even Then - Micah Tyler



Stand In Your Love - Josh Baldwin


What Do I Know Of Holy? - Addison Road


O' Lord - Lauren Daigle

New songs (to me) but so far I love them.

I ran across these on Youtube. I love Bethel Music. I love most of the voices I hear from them. Steffanie is no different. Just beautiful and the heart of worship, also. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did. God bless and have a wonderful week!


Defender - Steffany Gretzinger

I have heard this song before and absolutely loved it the first time I heard it.
I love the words of encouragement here:

Reckless Love (plus an encouraging word) - Steffany Gretzinger

This was another new one to me. I hope that you will take a listen and be blessed. 💗

No Longer Slaves

This is a favorite song as well. It also does my heart good to see such young hearts singing it from deep within. Praise God!

Worship...

💗 So much on my heart and mind that I may not even truly be aware of. Reaching out to Him this morning in thanks, reverence, prayer and praise.🙌

Fill My Cup, Lord - by Hope Montana

Chris Tomlin - Lord, I Need You

Michael W. Smith - Let It Rain

Open the Eyes of My Heart

Here I Am To Worship - Chris Tomlin (with lyrics)

So Will I & Reckless Love

I was on Facebook this weekend when someone mentioned the song "So Will I."  I had never heard it but they had such a deep, instant connection, that I went to listen to it. It is beautiful.  I happened to click on Amanda Cook from Bethel.  There was another song on after it that I loved just as much or more, called Reckless Love. I love them both so much.  I am sharing them so that you can hear them too. Our Heavenly father is too amazing for words. 💘💗💘  Listen and be blessed.



At 5:33 Cory starts talking about the testimony and story behind the song.
It is totally worth hearing.  The lyrics are in the Show More dropdown.

The chorus: "Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights ‘til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine I couldn’t earn it, I don’t deserve it, still You give Yourself away Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God" 💗

This version of Reckless is more melodious and beautiful on its own.
Lyrics are on screen for this one.

Blessings From Above and Within

I have some stuff on my heart this morning. Some of it I am sure that I am not consciously aware of.  I just know that God is touching my heart.  I was re-reading a previous post and started listening to "Thank You" by Ray Boltz. It is one of my favorites. That led me to think of a couple of others.  I love the words to both.  I feel God speaking to me through both of them.  I won't go into detail but I'm sure that we all have something that draws us to be able to relate to both. I will probably post a third, as well. God bless us one and all. Draw close to Him.

We should always expect to win.
"Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
 ~ Mark 11:24


Expect To Win - Ivan Parker

I like that the next one gives a little backstory of the writer. The first time I heard this, it became a favorite.

"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." ~ John 15:5


I Can't Even Walk - Tony Greene


The last one for now is one from years ago, 1984, to be exact.
"Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all." ~Mark 10:15

The Warrior Is A Child - Twilah Paris

So, I am doing a lot of thinking and praying this evening. There is something that I am waiting for and all systems seem to be a go but the proverbial door is locked somehow. I am not sure why or what is causing it. My mother in law just gave me some real words of wisdom. She pointed out to me that something really and literally seems to be blocking it and I need to pray about what it is and how to get it out of the way.

I am a very spiritual person but in the doldrums of life, sometimes things just are. I was caught up in the worldly thought that things sometimes take more time than we are willing to give because we are impatient. Yet, God is faithful. Sometimes all we can do is praise Him in the hallway until the door opens. I was doing my best to do that because it is all true. At least I was until now.

Now, I am thinking that she is right. Now, I am praying to God to show me what, if anything, that I need to know. Is this a "Be still and know" moment or a moment in which I need to rebuke what is in my way?  It was set forth to be a sure thing. It seemed like it was only going to take maybe a week to work out.  Yet, it is soon turning into a month. I can't keep waiting for nothing. Something has got to give. I am praying over this situation but also trying to have ears to hear and eyes to see what He would show me. 

In the waiting, I have been trying to work on the plans I mentioned yesterday. I have also started germing (my short for germinating) some more seeds. Lord, help me. :D  I am running out of room but I can't help it. They will be so pretty!

I have to get some cleaning done still before I go to bed but couldn't resist the urge to blog. I have so many posts that I have wanted to publish and haven't gotten to. I will try to do a better job of kicking myself in the rear end until they are up. ;)

Blessings to all of you <3  If you are also in the hallway, just know that He's got it. He knew it was coming before it even got to you. He already had it worked out. Just lean into His presence and trust Him. Be prayerful. Do all He asks you to do and what you know you should do. The rest is up to Him. :)  Lay that which you can't control at His feet and just trust Him.

While I'm Waiting - John Waller

I had both songs come to mind and both are great. Sharing. :)

When I'm With You - Citizen Way
