Ok so… the strangest thing just happened to me about an hour ago. I was on my phone and a message popped up that said “If you need me, I’m here for you.” That was all it said and then my phone shut off and wouldn’t turn back on for about 30 mins. After finally getting my phone to work again, the message is nowhere to be found. I have checked all my emails, messages, all my apps, and there is simply no message saying that anywhere. The craziest thing is, I have been really down in the dumps lately and feel like I don’t always have somebody who I can immediately turn to. I know I can always turn to God, but sometimes it’s so hard for me to want to turn to somebody who I can’t see, feel, or talk to face-to-face. So honestly, even though I know God is always there, I need human contact! A true living breathing friend who wants to know me and listen to me when I need them. And yet I have a feeling that God was trying to get my attention tonight. Are you really there God? And if you’re listening… I really do need you… Love, ~Me

Give a smile… God knows somebody probably needs one right now.
So after spending the majority of last night in the ER with my daughter Amy who was ill. Here’s all I can really think of to say….
“The most attractive thing in the entire world, is when someone smiles.” ~M
We were blessed by the many wonderful smiles we received by the hospital staff last night. It really made a difference! Also, thank you to those rare but true friends of mine, the ones who never cease to make me smile. I am truly blessed because of you! ❤
In Over My Head – Jenn Johnson
Beautiful words…. Enjoy! ❤
“In Over My Head”
I have come to this place in my life
I’m full but I’ve not satisfied
This longing to have more of You
And I can feel it my heart is convinced
I’m thirsty my soul can’t be quenched
You already know this but still
Come and do whatever You want to
I’m full but I’ve not satisfied
This longing to have more of You
And I can feel it my heart is convinced
I’m thirsty my soul can’t be quenched
You already know this but still
Come and do whatever You want to
I’m standing knee deep but I’m out where I’ve never been
And I feel You coming and I hear Your voice on the wind
Would you come and tear down the boxes that I have tried to put You in
Let love come teach me who You are again
Would you take me back to the place where my heart was only about You
And all I wanted was just to be with You
Come and do whatever You want to
And further and further my heart moves away from the shore
Whatever it looks like, whatever may come I am Yours
And further and further my heart moves away from the shore
Whatever it looks like, whatever may come I am Yours
Then You crash over me and I’ve lost control but I’m free
I’m going under, I’m in over my head
Then you crash over me, and that’s where You want me to be
I’m going under, I’m in over my head
Whether I sink, whether I swim
It makes no difference when I’m beautifully in over my head
Whether I sink, whether I swim
It makes no difference when I’m beautifully in over my head
I’m Beautifully in over my head
I’m Beautifully in over my head
Third Day – Revelation
I was fortunate enough to see Third Day in concert before they became a well-known band. They were opening for Michael W. Smith on the night I saw them and I haven’t stopped listening to them since. Today has been a bit frustrating; I had a vague idea of what I wanted to write about and yet the words just aren’t flowing. This song started playing tonight as I was getting ready to attempt to write for the hundredth time today. So I’ll leave you with this amazing song, which contains the kind of words which I wish I had been able to write myself. May all of you have a very blessed day! ~M
My life has led me down the road that’s so uncertain
And now, I am left alone and I am broken
Trying to find my way
Trying to find the faith that’s gone
This time I know that You are holding all the answers
And I’m tired of losing hope and taking chances
On roads that never seem
To be the ones that bring me home
Give me a revelation
Show me what to do
Cause I’ve been trying
To find my way
I haven’t got a clue
Tell me should I stay here
Or do I need to move?
Give me a revelation
I’ve got nothing without You
I’ve got nothing without You
My life has led me down this path that’s ever winding
Through every twist and turn, I’m always finding
That I am lost again
Tell me when this road will ever end
Give me a revelation
Show me what to do
Cause I’ve been trying
To find my way
I haven’t got a clue
Tell me should I stay here
Or do I need to move?
Give me a revelation
I’ve got nothing without You
I’ve got nothing without
I don’t know where I can turn
Tell me, when will I learn?
Wont You show me where I need to go?
Let me follow Your lead
I know that it’s the only way that I can get back home
Give me a revelation
Show me what to do
Cause I’ve been trying
To find my way
I haven’t got a clue
Tell me should I stay here
Or do I need to move?
Give me a revelation
I’ve got nothing without You
I’ve got nothing without You
No, oh no, oh no
Oh, give me a revelation
Oh Lord, oh no
I’ve got nothing, now, without You
I’ve got nothing, now, without You
Keep Making Me – Sidewalk Prophets
I love how music can really uplift and encourage us, especially when we are going through tough times. This song has been on my mind all week and the words seem to be exactly what I need to hear right now. I hope this song will speak to your heart and be a source of healing and inspiration as it has been for me. Love you guys! ~M ❤
Make me broken
So I can be healed
‘Cause I’m so calloused
And now I can’t feel
I want to run to You
With heart wide open
Make me broken
Make me empty
So I can be filled
‘Cause I’m still holding
Onto my will
And I’m completed
When you are with me
Make me empty
[Chorus:]
‘Til You are my one desire
‘Til You are my one true love
‘Til You are my breath, my everything
Lord, please keep making me
Make me lonely
So I can be Yours
‘Til I want no one
More than You, Lord
‘Cause in the darkness
I know You will hold me
Make me lonely
[Chorus]
Putting My Feet in the Dirt
