More Than You'll Ever Know!

Have you ever heard a song over and over again, but never paid attention to the words? I REdiscovered a song today and it made me think of my Bible study sisters! It's by Watermark and it's called "More Than You'll Ever Know:"

Something brought you to my mind today

I thought about the funny ways you make me laugh

And yet I feel like it's okay to cry with you

Something about just being with you

When I leave I feel like I've been near God

And that's the way it ought to be...

CHORUS:

'Cause you've been more than a friend to me

You fight off my enemies

'Cause you've spoken the Truth over my life

And you'll never know what it means to me

Just to know you've been on your knees for me

Oh, you have blessed my life

More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah

More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah

You had faith, when I had none

You prayed God would bring me a brand new song

When I didn't think I could find the strength to sing

And all the while I'm hoping that I'll

Do the kind of praying for you that you've done for me

And that's the way it ought to be...

You have carried me

You have taken upon a bruden that wasn't your own

And may the blessing return to you

A hundredfold, oh yeah...

A hundredfold, oh yeah...

Now go search for it on youtube so you can REhear it!

Happy Thanksgiving Girls!

Remind Us O Lord - Have Mercy

I was listening to this song on the way home last night and it really spoke to me. Even though things are going so well for us with our adoption and Lyndal's job is great I have still been in a bit of a valley like some of my sisters. The words in this song remind me that my valleys or transgressions help me love Him again . . .

SWAK!!

This lovely photo is to let you know we are having a . . . . DRUMROLL PLEASE . . . duh duh DUH!!!  A LIPSTICK EXCHANGE!!!!  Our fearless, mouthy leader decided that SHE needed to work on what comes out of her mouth and that if SHE needed to then maybe the rest of us do too - whatever!  Bible study is going to be a whole lot less fun with all of us watching every word that comes out of our mouths, ugh.  Why don't we all just stay at home?  I mean COME ON!!!  Just kidding.  I know I could definitely use some help in this area, kind of using the whole Thumper theory, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."  So, anyway, NEXT Tuesday, Sept. 22 we will be having a LIPSTICK EXCHANGE.  Here's what you do:

BRING:  Your Favorite INEXPENSIVE tube of lipstick or gloss ($5 or less)

HOW:  We Will Play Like Dirty Santa - So Wrap Your Special Gift With No Name On It.  We'll draw numbers and then go at it like a rat on a cheetoh.

OH!  And one more thing (totally unrelated to our lipstick goodness)!  We need to VOTE on how we want to do dinners on Tuesdays.  It's really important, so don't forget!

God Sees EVERYTHING

Not to scare anyone, but you can't hide your sin from God.  Just not sure if we all knew that.  I'm not sure David realized it or just thought that since he was special he wouldn't be punished very harshly (he was, four times over including the death of a child because of his sin).  The Bible says in Romans 3:23 that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.  The good thing . . . no, GREAT thing  . . . is that we can ask for forgiveness and we are forgiven by His grace, by His love, and mercy.  We can lay it at the cross and it will be as far away as the East is from the West, and He will trade our ashes in for beauty using it for HIS glory.  God is so good.

So, tonight we were talking about how God sees EVERYTHING.  And Trena kept saying that "He sees EVERYTHING!"  And the way she was saying it reminded a few of us of the scene in Toy Story where Woody and the toys that Sid had mutilated were getting revenge on him.  Here is the clip:
