Discovering True Intimacy with Our Savior

Music Monday: The Great Awakening

//  1 Comment

“Awaken” is the name of the conference in January.  I had a nice blurb written all about why Jamie & I picked that word, but I trashed it when I ran across this video by Leeland Mooring.  This is EXACTLY what I feel like God wants to do in His Church today.

 

The Great Awakening

One man wakes, awakens another
Second one wakes his next door brother
Three awake can rouse a town
And turn the whole place upside down
Many awake will cause such a fuss
It finally awakes all of us
One man wakes with dawn in his eyes
Surely then it multiplies
Surely then it multiplies

Today, I am grateful…

…for the 26 years I got to spend with the best dad a girl could ask for.  14 years ago today, he got to see the face of Jesus.  My life and the world was a bit better because Billy Whitten walked the face of the earth.  I miss you, Daddy!

…the joy that follows every act of obedience to God’s call even though, at first, it’s uncomfortable.

 

…for a great group of Sophomore girls that I have the privilege of teaching each week.  These girls are smart, kind and an unbelievable joy to me.

Tell me.  What are you grateful for?

Happy Monday! I am grateful…

…for my brother whom I love dearly (but don’t tell him that).  Always the little sister, one of the greatest joys of my life is to bug him.  He’s so easily bug-able.

…for leather furniture so the dog hair doesn’t stick.

…and for the many, many, many things God shows me through Zephaniah 3:17.

The Lord your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you.
He will quiet you with His love.
He will rejoice over you with singing.

P.S. My brother requested that I let everyone know that I am standing on an ottoman so that you don’t think he is 5’0″ tall.

Day #4. We are rockin’ it out.

I’m grateful…

…for a wonderful mom. How do I even begin to list all the things that she has done for me and the things that she has taught me? There are no words.

…that Ellie has now had all of her shots and she is free to go walking at the park or on trails.

…for the Sabbath. Who doesn’t love a day of rest?
