Dearest Blog

Dear Blog,

I have missed you! I am so glad to be back, it has been way too many days. When I first got this full-time job I was able to keep up with writing, and posting pictures, and all those little things. But now, those little things are piling up. I get up, leave, come home late, eat, and go to bed. End of my life. And on top of that, all of the half-written articles and writing ideas I have typed up are on the other computer, which I haven’t seen in weeks. Then I started classes to get certification for my work, and had to finish ten hours worth of classes by, uh, Monday! Praise the Lord they are all done, and submitted. This weekend is crazy, considering it’s my birthday. One of my best gal pals Allie, is coming to help me celebrate. As I leave this non-stop year behind, I wonder what God holds in store for me. Whatever He has for me, I know that His dreams are far beyond anything I could ever dream. I am SO sorry to all my readers for not writing much this last month! Hopefully things will slow down a bit and I can get back to that. If not, oh well! Life is meant to be lived, and there is life outside of my computer. “Live, laugh, love!”

The Treasures of the Trial

“Jesus draw me ever nearer,
As I labor through the storm.
You have called me to this passage,
and I’ll follow, though I’m worn.

May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;
And at the end of my heart’s testing,
With YOUR likeness let me wake.

Jesus guide me through the tempest;
Keep my spirit staid and sure.
When the midnight meets the morning,
Let me love You even more.
 

Let the treasures of the trial
Form within me as I go -
And at the end of this long passage,
Let me leave them at Your throne.

May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;
And at the end of my heart’s testing,
With YOUR likeness let me wake.”
- Keith and Kristyn Getty

I’ll Never Miss Heaven for the World

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beyond the borders of time there’s a beautiful land
Where the word of God is glory unfurled
And by the grace of God, I someday will call it my home
I’ll Never Miss Heaven for the world!

I’ll never miss seeing Jesus,
I’ll never miss seeing loved ones who’ve gone on before
I’ll never trade forever for a few days down here
I’ll never miss heaven for the world.

 As for me and my house we will serve the Lord
Though the things of earth may try to allure
For the smile of God means more than sin’s brief glittering days
I’ll never miss heaven for the world.

I’ll never miss seeing Jesus,
I’ll never miss seeing loved ones who’ve gone on before
I’ll never trade forever for a few days down here
I’ll never miss heaven for the world.

 When we get to that place, it’ll be worth going through
All the trials and afflictions down here
I’m going to finish this race, going to see Jesus’ face
I’ll Never miss heaven for the world!

I’ll never miss seeing Jesus,
I’ll never miss seeing loved ones who’ve gone on before
I’ll never trade forever for a few days down here
I’ll never miss heaven for the world.
