I've been doing a lot of thinking, praying, crying, and generally feeling pretty upset lately.
Last night I took a walk and prayed the whole time I was out for some guidance. I told God I needed something good to happen because I was having a lot of trouble finding anything good to hold on to. What I just discovered is that God has been giving good things in abundance lately and I've just been in such a negative place that I've been refusing to see them. Tommy's new song that I've posted above really helped me when I stumbled on it hiding on my desktop as an un-named file. Although there is a lot of crap hanging around my neck right now I have to try and look at the bigger picture. Sunday morning we were blessed to participate in a homecoming service at Richland Baptist Church that saw some folks come forward and rededicate their lives to Christ. Five hours later we were behind bars at Riverbend Maximum Security Prison worshiping with a group of men who literally have nothing left but when they hit bottom they looked up and found their salvation through the love of Christ and God Almighty. Next Saturday we see one of our own, Mark Mills become an ordained minister then on Sunday we get to worship with our family at New Beginnings then later that afternoon take part in a praise concert at Word Of Life Christian Center. My faith is strong, my family has their health and I believe that God is at work in this world and we have nothing to fear.
Are there going to be bumps on my personal road? Sure. But if I can keep my eyes focused on THE ONE who made me,THE ONE who saved me and THE ONE that will lead me home then those bumps will not seem as bad and there will always be a bright horizon ahead.
GOD BLESS
