Awaken Me

Here is a song that I have been listening to recently by Natalie Grant. It is a very great upbeat song with awesome lyrics to pray for your life. I pray that this stirs your spirit to prayer and that the Lord Awakens your heart to live for him.

"Awaken Me"

Sometimes I feel like I'm just existing

I'm not really living

I'm only watching the time slip away

I've forgotten who I am in youI

'm not who I'm meant to be, no

I'm drifting farther away from my destiny

CHORUS:Awaken my heart, awaken my soul

Awaken your power and take control

Awaken the passion to live for you, Lord

Awaken me

My soul is longing,

my heart is searching

I'm desperate for you to move

Give me a hunger, pull me closer

I'm crying out to you

CHORUS

Open my eyes so I can see your presence

Dwelling inside

Wake me up, 'cause I can't live another minute

If I'm not shining your light

Awaken my heart, Awaken my soul

Awaken the passion in me

Lord, awaken me to live my destiny

Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me

Lord, awaken me to live my destiny

Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me

Give me the passion Jesus, I wanna live for you.

The Blessing of Friends

Matthew 21:22 "And whatever things you ask in prayer believing, you will receive."
Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you."
This is exactly what I have done with friends. Every since I became a mom I struggled with having friends. It's much harder when you are at home to have a friend and find time to get together. I have had playgroups off and on and about the time I thought I found that one great friend it just seemed to crumble. God has made me with a need to have girl friends. I need social interaction outside of my husband, children and family. I have even been very envious of those that have best friends. Well, after much prayer God has opened up the blessings. I have enjoyed becoming closer friends with many women throughout this year. My husband appreciates my friend moments too because it refreshes and renews me. I have even been blessed with a wonderful Best Friend!!!! I haven't had a BFF since highschool!!!! Can you tell I'm excited. I am so greatful to God that he has blessed me with Rashelle. We are able to challenge each other and help each other during this time of parenting(I really mean testing). It is amazing how God hooks us up with the right people to help us through certain times and also to allow us to help them. I have met some other fabulous women friends lately. But Rashelle you're still my BFF!!!! I hope that through this post you will take the time to stop and think of the people God has linked you up with and thank him.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! He's Alive!!!!! Jesus is ALIVE!!!!!! We had a great Easter day. I did not get any cute Easter photos to post. I was too busy enjoying our fun to bother with a camera. After worship we went to "Uncle Mac's" to go fishing and hunt eggs. We had a great time. The boys enjoyed fishing with their new poles. Although we only caught one fish and a big stick. I know many people were upset yesterday with the cold weather ruining their plans to wear their new cute Easter outfits. But, I find it interesting, it's like God's way of reminding us that it's not about the cute clothes you dressed your kids in or yourself it's about Jesus. He's Alive and lives in Heaven. He died for you and me so that we could be in Heaven with him when we die if you just believe in Jesus.
