I WILL PRAISE YOU IN THE STORM

ABSENT FROM THE BODY....PRESENT WITH THE LORD... "I was sure by now that You would have reached down and wiped our tears away, stepped in and saved the day. But once again, I say, Amen and it's still raining As the thunder rolls I barely hear Your whisper through the rain, "I'm with you". And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away. And I'll praise You in this storm and I will lift my hands. For You are who You are no matter where I am. And every tear I've cried You hold in Your hand, You never left my side and though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm."

Life After Delivery

In a mother's womb were two babies. One asked the other: "Do you 

believe in life after delivery?" The other replies, "why, of course. There 

has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare

ourselves for what we will be later.

 "Nonsense," says the other. "There is no life after delivery. What would that life be?"

 "I don't know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths."

 The other says "This is absurd! Walking is impossible.

And eat with our mouths? Ridiculous. The umbilical cord supplies

nutrition. Life after delivery is to be excluded. The umbilical cord is too

short." 

"I think there is something and maybe it's different than it is

here." the other replies,

 "No one has ever come back from there. Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery it is nothing but darkness and anxiety and it takes us nowhere."

 "Well, I don't know,"says the other, "but certainly we will see mother and she will take care of us."

 "Mother??" You believe in mother? Where is she now? 

"She is all around us. It is in her that we live. Without her there would not be this world."

 "I don't see her, so it's only logical that she doesn't exist." 

To which the other replied, "sometimes when you're in silence you can hear her, you can perceive her." I believe there is a reality after delivery and we are here to prepare ourselves for that reality....

Psalm 46:10  “Be still and know that I am God.... 
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”

Word Of God Speak

Finding myself at a loss for words
 and the funny thing - it's okay.

The last thing I need is to be heard-
   but to hear what you would say.

Word of God speak-
Would you pour down like rain?
Washing my eyes to see your majesty,
 to be still and know that you're in this place.
Please let me stay and rest in your holiness.

Word of God - speak..


Bart Mallard - Mercy Me

Depression-A Study In The Scriptures

"Nothing puts everything into perspective like gazing upon the majesty of the Almighty. Make melody to God, or listen to some anointed music: that's what Saul did, when depressed: he called for David, the minstrel, and the anointing on David's music caused the evil spirit that depressed and harassed him to depart. "

Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again (original version)

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about, God in His mercy
Oh, if he really does exist
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
