This is Amazing Grace

Goodmorning my dear brothers and sisters,

I pray that this Wednesday morning finds you all filled with joy, peace, and the wonderous love of the holy spirit!

I must say, these past few weeks have been rather difficult for me. In SOME ways. My family is going through a lot right now, and i'm sure you all know how exhausting it can be when someone you love deeply is in trouble. But I will tell you all something else, I have never been filled with greater joy than I have for the past two weeks. They have been spectacular for no real reason, other than the fact that our GOD IS GOOD AND HE BRINGS JOY!


The past few weeks, The Lord has been renewing me, breaking places in my life that needed to be washed clean and redeemed. Things I had been holding onto, unwilling to let him purify them. But I urge you now brothers and sisters, let him do the same in your life! Oh, NOTHING is sweeter than his presense, his love is greater than anything you could ever imagine! I am so hungry for him, that I find myself in constant worship. Singing praises to his name, reading his word, IT IS LIFE! And it makes me remeber the one thing I need to remember most. HE HAS ALREADY WON! HALLELUJIAH! Oh, that fills me with SUCH hope and JOY! When I look at my present circumstances, I know that there is already VICTORY in the blood of Jesus over everything going on. And just the FACT that God would send his SON down to redeem us all is still....just beyond me. I've never been able to comprehend it. And to be quite honest, I hope I never can. Because I don't want to lose this fierce adoration for my creator, and my redeemer. I look around our broken world, and see so many people who mock him, trash his name, declare everything BUT love against him. Believe me brothers and sisters, I have done my share of wounding our precious Savior. Yet his love is unfailing and ongoing. HOW GOOD IS OUR GOD?!?!?

I haven't slept well the last few nights. My thoughts have been jumbled with worry. And though i've prayed through each restless night, I still felt a sort of...desperation I guess. Last night I was wrestling with truths and lies, and I finally just got up out of bed, had my headphones in, and started dancing around my room praising Jesus! I wanted to shout, but I didn't want to wake up the rest of my family! HAHA how wonderful! I went to sleep finally at some point, full of God's promise! How is it that he chooses to fill US when we praise HIM?!? WOW he is good!

I pray today that you all take time to just love on our dear Savior. I pray embarrassment doesn't even flood your thoughts. Because WHO CARES?!? What else MATTERS besides our Savior?

If ya'll need some inspiration, i've been listening to Bethel Music's Live Album non stop for, I don't know how long. It's incredible. Totally anointed!

Last night, the song I was praising Jesus with was "This Is Amazing Grace." On repeat for I honestly don't know how long! HAHA I'll post the lyrics here!

BE BLESSED!


This is Amazing Grace
Josh Farro, Phil Wickham, Jeremy Riddle

Verse 1:
Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
Who leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Chorus:
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You would lay down Your life
That I would be set free
Jesus, I sing for
All that You've done for me

Verse 2:
Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Bridge:
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
