Due to overloaded workload

Feel Good Wednesday will not take place today.

I'm sorry.

Blessed #7

I love my husband!

I don't share a lot about him because he is very private.

He doesn't get this blog stuff I do.

He would rather me not do it. But he puts up with me.

And I thank him for that.

We are celebrating our 7 year anniversary today!

God has blessed us so much through the years.

I just know God's got something up His sleeve for us this year.

Thank you God for my husband.

Thank you God for 7 years with him.

Ooooh, what a good verse!

I just had to share this verse I just got emailed from KLOVE.

I LOVE IT!

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act.
~ Psalm 37:7, NLT

Isn't it difficult to be patient? But the Lord is with us, trust in Him!!

Feel Good Wednesday #31

Today I'm featuring one of the songs from Leeland. When I heard Leeland sing this song during the concert this last weekend, it really touched my heart. The words are so true. "There are schools full of hatred. Even churches have forsaken love and mercy." Just last week there was a story of a young boy who had been set on fire by fellow classmates. Do we even know what our children are facing in the school systems today? I bet our minds couldn't even wrap around what all the children face today. So different than when we were in school. We really need to pray for our children and school systems...even the teachers. Then there are churches. Churches having too much politics. Churches forgetting why they were even established. Lord, help us!

Leeland
Tears of the Saints

There are many prodigal sons
On our city streets they run
Searching for shelter
There are homes broken down
People’s hopes have fallen to the ground
From failures

This is an emergency!

There are tears from the saints
For the lost and unsaved
We’re crying for them come back home
We’re crying for them come back home
And all your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

There are schools full of hatred
Even churches have forsaken
Love and mercy
May we see this generation
In its state of desperation
For Your glory

This is an emergency!

There are tears from the saints
For the lost and unsaved
We’re crying for them come back home
We’re crying for them come back home
And all your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

Sinner, reach out your hands!
Children, in Christ you stand!
Sinner, reach out your hands!
Children, in Christ you stand!

There are tears from the saints
For the lost and unsaved
We’re crying for them come back home
We’re crying for them come back home

And all Your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

Concert recap and a giveaway!

Well first let's start with the concert recap. We got front row!!! It was a wonderful concert.


Francesca, Brandon Heath and Leeland started the concert out by singing together. It totally threw me off when they finally introduced the girl singing with them as Francesca! I should have known that was her.




I love Francesca's entire cd and was excited to hear her sing her songs live. I even teared up as I listened to her sing and thought back to the previous months of me singing them in my car. Her songs really helped me during my loss. So I was moved to tears.
Then Leeland sang a few of his songs. I would say his pants were a little too tight but he sang really well. Haha! He did a great job.

Next was cutie patootie, Brandon Heath. My favorite song of his is Give Me Your Eyes. He gave some wonderful testimonies before a few of his songs. He was great!

Brandon said he has been working on a Christmas album. One song will feature him with Francesca! He wasn't sure when the album would be out but I hope it's SOON! This was the two of them performing the song.

While at the concert I bought a cd pack. In honor of it being a Monday I am having a giveaway. My first! We'll see how this one goes and if it goes well I may have another one in the future.

What you could win:

Francesca Battistelli's My Paper Heart Cd
