Deeply



i'm an emotional cutter.

Truth

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.

Colossians 2:2-4

Truth

Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me. The Lord will work out His plans for my life ~ for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don't abandon me, for you made me.

Psalm 138:7-8

Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."

Truth

I have given you the authority to trample snakes and scorpions and to destroy the enemy's power. Nothing will hurt you.

No weapon that has been made to be used against you will succeed. You will have an answer for anyone who accuses you. This is the inheritance of the LORD's servants. Their victory comes from me," declares the LORD.

Now You See Me...

Now you...

DON'T mind if I do...

To Me, From Me

Have you ever been listening to a song you've heard several times, but that day you hear it in a fresh way? That happened to me today.

This song is a great one to send to the love of your life, but what would happen if you sent it to yourself? As I listened to the lyrics, I realized that I need to sing this to myself. We must love ourselves before we can ever truly love another.

As you listen to this song, I challenge you to hear with different ears.



Go to the ends of the earth for me? Don't mind if I do...

All This Time



Pick myself up? Don't mind if I do...

Isn't She Lovely?



This is for my East Coast soul sista...and me!

Don't mind if we do...

This, I KNOW!!!



I have been given a challenge. My friend has set a goal for me to wake up every morning, look into the mirror, and sing "Jesus Loves Me", before I do anything else. Seems simple enough. The difficult part is believing and KNOWING that it's true.

Jesus loves me. He created me to be the person that I am. He loves me no matter how many times I mess up. He loves me regardless of the mistakes I make. He loves me when I don't feel lovable (which is often). He loves me when I don't deserve it (which is all the time). HE LOVES ME!

This song is one I learned when I was young and have been singing it ever since. Such a simple song that can have such an impact on our lives.

"We are weak, but He is strong! YES, Jesus loves me..."

The reminder of being loved, always and completely, is an important step to being who God designed us to be. I'm taking that step, every morning, in my mirror.

KNOW that Jesus loves me? Don't mind if I do...

I've Opened The Box



I have discovered the greatness of Pandora Radio. If you have not tried it out, YOU MUST!!! Best of all, it's totally FREE!!

The great thing about Pandora is that you can put in a song or artist, and they create a channel showcasing not only that artist, but similar artists as well. It's such a great way to introduce yourself to new music that you may not have had access to or even known to look for. I'm a huge fan. I have a couple of my Facebook friends to thank for suggesting some wonderful music to get me started. I have found some new favorites. Put in the name of any of these artists and create a channel of your own...you won't be sorry.

Here are a few that I have discovered. Please do enjoy!









and of course...



Now that I've peaked your interest,  go to this link immediately and feast your ears.  ~* open the box for yourself *~

Open Pandora's box of music? Don't mind if I do...
