Carry me.

My eyes have been so focused on me not God..that doesn't song like a christian at all. It is so hard because when your focus shifts it feels like you are in sinking sand and can't get out, you want to know why? Because we are putting our focus on ourselves again, we are relying on ourselves to carry us out of our sinking sand when we should be relying on God, I know for a fact he is stronger then I'll ever be. Here is a song I really like, it makes me know I can get on track and God will carry me. ♥



Carry me, carry me, carry me now
From my sinking sand to Your solid ground
The only way I'm ever gonna make it out
Is if You carry me, carry me, carry me now
God carry me, carry me, carry me now

God Carry me now......

Oh Geez! Words are so powerful. Are you going to let your words speak life or death, truth or lies?

We've all experienced being hurt or hurting someone else we need to remember,
Job 27:4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. KJV, You-version.

It's so hard, I found my self in a horrible situation the other day I just wanted to scream at the person but I didn't, I took a deep breath and thought what would Jesus do? He wouldn't yell, I walked away from the situation feeling like the bigger person....its nice feeling(knowing) your the bigger person :) I love this song so here are the lyrics, the URL is located at the bottom.

They've made me feel like a prisoner
They've made me feel set free
They've made me feel like a criminal
Made me feel like a king

They've lifted my heart
To places I'd never been
And they've dragged me down
Back to where I began

Words can build you up
Words can break you down
Start a fire in your heart or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

You can heal the heartache
Speak over the fear
(Speak over the fear)
God, Your voice is the only thing
We need to hear
(We need to hear)

Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Let the words I say
(Let the words I say)
Be the sound of Your grace
(Sound like Your grace)
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

I wanna speak Your love
Not just another noise
Oh, I wanna be Your light
I wanna be Your voice

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Let the words I say
(Let the words I say)
Be the sound of Your grace
(Sound like Your grace)
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts
Or put it out

I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

Faith can move a mountain.

My sister and I have been on a songwriting frenzy lately! I love it! It's clear to me that  singing and songwriting  are the ways I express a lot of things to the Lord, but sometimes I feel like that's it. Whenever I start to do something a lot, it seems like that something is what my focus is on constantly! I mean I can just be talking with God and say something and immediately think  I COULD USE THAT IN A SONG! Not that that is bad but it doesn't make me feel connected to God like it used to.
  Last night I was praying and saying just that, how I feel like I've taken something that potentially is good (music), but have turned it into my focus, when my focus should always be on God , which makes me start to feel, well horrible. I hate it whenever I feel like He is not near, and it makes me begin to doubt, and that doubt makes me feel like He doesn't hear my prayers, when the evidence throughout my life shows that He does! I wanted this to change so badly! A picture came to my mind, if I'm depending on myself, then when I fall I would have to catch myself. I don't think that is even possible! You can stop a full face plant with your hands but you can't catch yourself, you can't carry your broken body to a place of peace and comfort. If I depend on other people it is possible that they could fall with me, but if I let God be my Savior, like he intended, I have nothing to fear! His arms will never tire, His love will never fail me.
Once again I had to say, Lord forgive me for taking my eyes off of you. Like Peter as soon as I take my eyes off of you I start to sink!  Although I don't like the pain that comes with it, I do love it when you realize that He is right there, that He has been there all along, you refocus and you can get back up! It shows just how real my God is! I long for a more intimate relationship with the Lord, that doesn't sway even for a second!
Dani (me) wrote a song yesterday and starting from the bridge it goes like this," when I forget how to believe, would you show me...You are there in the rain, you are there in the storm. When I feel so afraid you are there to keep me warm. You are my life, you are my love, you are my Lord. You are my life, you are my love, you are my hope." It is really beautiful!
I heard a new song from Shane & Shane, and I feel like it is a really good thing to remember. So as I continue to write songs, to speak boldly to people, or whatever I'm doing I need to remember...

Just three chords and a melody
Won't leave you a living legacy
Without Jesus
Just four songs and a parable
Might leave you something terrible
Just five bucks in an offering
Won't buy you some prosperity
Just a sixth sense of morality
Won't get you out of your depravity
Without Jesus, oh, without Jesus

You could memorize
Become a Mennonite
You could speak in tongues
And raise the dead to life
You could build a big church
Call it ministry
Teach 'em all they need to know to run a family
You could sell it all
Be burned at the stake
But what in the world have you to ever gain
Without Jesus, oh, without Jesus

If all I ever get out of laying my life down
Is thorns in the shape of a crown
On the brow of a man from Nazareth
And if all I get is what Jesus did,
And said, and put within my heart
Then I get it all
I have it all
Oh, I have it all
Everything is mine
Oh, I have it all
I have it all

Confused

God..I'm confused, I'm confused with life. I'm just..confused.
Ever find yourself praying that prayer like life is so hard you get stuck it is like someone glued you to the ground and you can't get free. Oh, I hate that feeling. Well someone that is very close to me is at that point of life, and they don't even know it. Sometimes when we are stuck we are so focused on  helping our selves out of that mess that we don't let God work through us, we don't let him help us through these difficult times. We wander aimlessly like a lost sheep and the world is like a mountain lion, when we are at our weakest its the easiest for that "mountain lion"  to come attack us 'till we have lost all belief and it makes me so sad to see loved ones who are attacked and wounded who are glued to the ground. Guess what...

Philippians 4:13

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

¹³ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

 This is the truth so open your eyes and realize you are not alone..."I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength, I don't have to be strong enough. Strong enough. Yahhh!♪" God will heal the broken lamb, God will pull you out of the sticky mess you made, have strength, seek God, and God will strengthen you. 

xoxox, Dani

Do you ever feel like that connection with God, that spark of joy is gone? I know I have and it was a terribly depressing time of my life where I just wanted to shut the world out, or maybe I was to focused on pleasing the world rather than God. Anyway...what I was focusing on was how I felt only how I felt and I forgot what really mattered , I got so obsessed and paranoid with this feeling I didn't have that I stopped reading my bible and praying all the time. Hmm... wonder why I didn't have this feeling. Well this answers it for me.

 

Malachi 3:7-12

English Standard Version (ESV)

⁷ ... Return to me, and I will return to you....

Wow it finally hit me if I wanted God to return to me..I HAVE to return to him he is always with me. I just need to seek him.

If you have a problem with reading your bible everyday.  Then make a goal.


 Month One

Jeremiah 29:11

New International Version (NIV)

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Matthew 6:34

New International Version (NIV)

³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.



Mhmmm

Joshua 1:9

New International Version (NIV)

⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”


And that is the truth Ruth.

In peace I will lie down and sleep for you alone Lord make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8

Return to me, and I will return to you," says the LORD Almighty. Malachi 3:7.

While I sit here crying and feeling sorry for myself I have a song going through my head, Hello, my name is regret I'm pretty sure we have met Every single day of your life I'm the whisper inside That won't let you forget
Hello, my name is defeat I know you recognize me Just when you think you can win I'll drag you right back down again 'Til you've lost all belief
These are the voices, these are the lies And I have believed them, for the very last time
Chorus: Hello, my name is child of the one true King I've been saved, I've been changed, and I have been set free "Amazing Grace" is the song I sing Hello, my name is child of the one true King I am no longer defined By all the wreckage behind The one who makes all things new Has proven it's true Just take a look at my life
Chorus: Hello, my name is child of the one true King I've been saved, I've been changed, and I have been set free "Amazing Grace" is the song I sing Hello, my name is child of the one true King
Bridge: What love the Father has lavished upon us That we should be called His children I am a child of the one true King
What love the Father has lavished upon us That we should be called His children
Chorus: Hello, my name is child of the one true King I've been saved, I've been changed, and I have been set free "Amazing Grace" is the song I sing Hello, my name is child of the one true King
I am a child of the one true King

The words in red are the lyrics that really stand out to me , I feel defeated, attacked, and depressed...a lot.

But this is not what should stand out to me these are, Hello, my name is child of the one true King I've been saved, I've been changed, and I have been set free "Amazing Grace" is the song I sing Hello, my name is child of the one true King I am no longer defined By all the wreckage behind The one who makes all things new Has proven it's true Just take a look at my life

 

These lyrics are pure truth. We are never alone we are children of the one true king. 

DON'T LET DEFEAT RULE YOUR LIFE! 

ALWAYS REMEMBER GOD IS WITH US HE HAS OPEN ARMS HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU HE WILL NEVER FAIL YOU!

 

You know, I am not sure who all reads this but lets make a deal, you pray for me I'll pray for you!

 

 

  xoxoxx, Dani. 

What would Jesus do...what would he do? When you are in a tough situation, were you are peer pressured, where your bullied, when a cute boy is flirting with you. What would Jesus do? I have to ask myself this all through out my busy day. Many of us might think" Jesus didn't get peered pressured, its different now a days." Well Jesus did. He got tempted in many different situations. He also got bullied and persecuted, to the point of death. We cant fathom what He went through.

Jesus Delivered to Pilate

1When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. 2And they bound him and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate the governor.

Judas Hangs Himself

3Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, 4saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself." 5And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself. 6But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is blood money." 7So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. 8Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, 10and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."

Jesus Before Pilate

11Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You have said so." 12But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he gave no answer. 13Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?" 14But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.

The Crowd Chooses Barabbas

15Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted. 16And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?" 18For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up. 19Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much because of him today in a dream." 20Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21The governor again said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas." 22Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!" 23And he said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified!"

Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified

24So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves." 25And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!" 26Then he released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.

Jesus Is Mocked

27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. 28And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 30And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and led him away to crucify him.

The Crucifixion

32As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this man to carry his cross. 33And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), 34they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots. 36Then they sat down and kept watch over him there. 37And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews." 38Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. 39And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads 40and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross." 41So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42"He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, "I am the Son of God." 44And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

The Death of Jesus

45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" 47And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, "This man is calling Elijah." 48And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink. 49But the others said, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him." 50And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.

51And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. 52The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, 53and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. 54When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

55There were also many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him, 56among whom were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Jesus Is Buried

57When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus. 58He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. 59And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud 60and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away. 61Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.

The Guard at the Tomb

62The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63and said, "Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, "After three days I will rise." 64Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, "He has risen from the dead," and the last fraud will be worse than the first." 65Pilate said to them, "You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can." 66So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.

God put us on this world to be disciples, and make disciples. So get off your phone, laptops, tablet. And go change the world before you do something ,..think what would Jesus do?

Start a Holy Revolution! This earth is only temporary!

Opening Remark...

Oh yeah...enough said.
