I read a line from Francis Chan's Crazy Love that said, "Joy is something we have to choose and then work for." How true! Happiness on the other hand can be so wishy-washy (it's nice while it lasts though, right?)
Oh, the joy of the Lord!...Check out Susan Ashton's - "What Joy"
Here's a song for a Friday! Deviating from my normal Christian hip hop , here's a Gospel song by the beautiful Karen Clark Sheard. So glad Jesus KNOWS!
"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15 (esv).
Karen Clark Sheard - "He Knows" featuring Dorinda Clark Cole.
When I was a kid, my hero was my dad. Plain and simple. I was a Daddy's girl, I admit it. He seemed to be invincible and the greatest man alive. He was fun, AND I could talk to him about important things in my life as I grew up (like boys. lol). At some point during my teenage years, after I'd begun college, I realized that my dad was simply human - flawed and fallible. I needed a new hero. One who would never let me down. One who was perfect. Didn't know I already knew Him.
Now my Hero is Christ. I'm even reading a book now entitled, So, You Want to Be Like Christ? by Charles R. Swindoll. Great book. It's making me think and reflect on the Savior, my Hero.
Here's one from Trip Lee aka T-Lee..."Invasion" featuring Jai.
Thank You, Jesus for being my Herohh!! "Uh-oh, uh-oh. Ya already saved the day!!"
A line from the song sang by Jai's awesomeeee vocal chords.
So, the "period of pieces" (musical pieces!) continues. Hope you're enjoying Music Mania here at Diary!
I'm so glad that Jesus is my sure thing; that my salvation lies in Him and Him alone. He paid the penalty for my sins once and for all. Because of Him (!!!), I have the opportunity to have life everlasting with Him in heaven forever by placing for faith in Him and living for Him. GLORY!
Happy Black History Month!!! Today is the last day :(
"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" romans 8:31 esv
Shane and Shane. All those guys. What a powerful duo. My high school bestie introduced me to this group around our sophomore year in college. What a pleasure to "meet them!" Check out "Our God is Greater." This is their version of this hit Christian song.
