Am I Giving My All

Jaime Wiebel — Thu, 16 Jul 2015 08:03:00 +0000

I want my heart to say…

Nothing
is holding me back from giving God my all.

But the truth is life happens. We get busy. Being a
mom of busy young ones keeps me on my toes. The piles they make seem to get
bigger by the second. I can clean up one mess and a mess is forming somewhere
else.

I have kids to entertain and I don’t want to miss a moment of that. I have a husband I vowed my heart
to and a house to tend and clearly that is not going so well. My heart and my strength begin to grow weary.

Remember that little green Gumby guy you could
stretch in all directions and somehow he would stay in tack. That is my heart
and sometimes my limbs.

The question I keep asking myself is, “How can I
give my whole heart to God?”

It is what He asks of us. To love Him with all of
our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

I wonder if I am doing that right. I wonder if it is
enough. I wonder if I am letting Him down.

I think about God all day long. I wonder how He
could have chosen me. With all my flaws, my insecurities, my lack of godly
virtues at times. Anybody ever sailing this rocky ship with me?

Praise God I am a work of constant transformation.

This
is what I am working on…

I give God – me.
He knows me. He knows my flaws. He knows my insecurities. He knows I am not
always a woman of upstanding character. In Matthew, we are told that even the
very hairs on our head are numbered.

Yet HE chose me.
If you are a believer in Christ, He chose you.
Isaiah 43:1
tells us, “But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob, And He who
formed you, O Israel, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called
you by name; you are Mine!”

So in the midst of all my human ways, I can draw on
the strength and power of a living God. Because my Creator, My Lord, the one
who formed me and carefully knit me in my mother’s womb, Now… He says, I don’t
have to fear.

He has called
me by name. He has ransomed me. He has paid the price for me to be free from feeling like things are holding me back from giving my whole self. He says, “YOU ARE
MINE.”

He wants us in the middle of
where we are right now. A mom, a spouse, a co-worker, a friend, wherever He put you, you are there to give Him your whole heart, right there.

A wise woman recently told me, “I don’t have to
worry about letting God down because I
was never holding Him up.” Thank you
grandma for all you’re guidance.

I don’t need to be super-human. I can’t do this
journey alone. I wasn’t meant to. I can look to God’s Word and draw on the
power of The Spirit and there I can be restored.

When my strength begins to fade, I can remember Psalm 28:7. The LORD
is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.

When my soul becomes weary, I can be sure of Matthew 11:28 Then
Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest.

When my mind
begins to wander, I can be refreshed by Philippians 2:1-2 Therefore if there is any encouragement in
Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the
Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete
by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent
on one purpose.

When my heart feels faint, I can be assured that I
belong to God. Jesus said in John 14:1-3 Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God,
believe also in Me. “In My Father’s house are many
dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare
a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again
and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”

Oh
Glorious Day!

Surrendering our whole heart, our whole life to God,
isn’t always easy. Take heart my friend. He has gone to prepare a place for us
and when He calls us home, He will call us by name.

What will you do until that day? Will you be able to
say, “Nothing was holding me back from being the one He called me to be?”

Anchored In The Cross

Jaime Wiebel — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 07:28:00 +0000

Over the past few days I have been having “one of
those days”. I woke up and just didn’t feel quite like myself. No matter what I
was trying I just couldn’t shake the feeling. I wanted to cry, I felt so
frustrated.

Anyone ever have those kind of days?

Of course, I am not alone in my feelings but that is
exactly how I felt, alone. I felt like everything was coming down on me at
once.

My head kept filling with the lies that I wasn’t
good enough, mom enough, smart enough, tall enough, skinny enough, outgoing
enough, enough of a friend, just purely not enough.

I kept reminding myself that God’s promises are
bigger than I am and I just kept clinging to all that I know. I was crying out
to Him, a couple of times literally, for a rescue from these feelings.

I know when I feel alone, I am promised from God
that He will never leave me nor forsake me. I felt, however, like I was
reaching out and grabbing at nothing.

I asked God why I was feeling alone and told Him I
knew this was not true and knew He was by my side.

I began to pray for God to rescue me from these
feelings and I was sure that He would. I continued to however, perpetuate these
thoughts. They began to pull me down like a heavy weight.

Sometimes the assurance doesn’t come so quickly or
as easily as we would like. Sometimes we get caught up in the whirlwind of our
emotions and they begin to take over.

The fact is,

I can
choose to be anchored to these lies…

I can continue
to sink into a downward spiral until I am in over my head…

I can
choose to drown in my self-doubt…

Or…

I can choose to be anchored to the cross.

At the cross, I receive the grace and mercy of a
loving Father. At the cross, I receive the promises Christ has given to his
children. At the cross, I receive the rest I need for my weary soul to be strengthened
for the next step in my journey.

Hebrews 6:19 says: We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It
enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain

The hope in the salvation of cross is real. It is
what we can stand firm on when our hearts and our heads begin to get weary and
all of life comes pouring in on us.

This hope is more than I hope it doesn’t rain
tomorrow or I hope the grocery store is having a sale on strawberries.

This hope is grounded in something sure, certain and
secure. This hope is standing firm in the Salvation of Christ and being able to
approach His throne with confidence.

Psalm 62:5-7 Yes, my
soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my
salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor
depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

This Psalm is a beautiful reminder or our Great and
Mighty Lord in the midst of our weariness. In the middle of life’s
complications we can be assured that our hope comes from God alone.

I am not my feelings today. I am not the
circumstances that surround me. My anchor is set outside my rocking ship.

I can pour out my heart to God and there I will
find shelter. I can expect Him to be a solid ground to rest my feet upon.

He is my
rock, my fortress, my refuge, my defense, my salvation,
my honor depend on Him alone. With
God, I will not be shaken.

Does anyone need that reminder today like I do?

Does anyone have a weary heart or head that could
use a little rest and assurance?

Jesus says in John 15:26
says: I will send you the Advocate
– the Spirit of Truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all
about me.

I often times have songs in my head, but only a
couple of lines and I sing them all day. Yesterday, I asked God for help.
Today, I had this song play over in my head, “Holy Spirit, You are welcome here. Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere.” This beautiful song is by Francesca Battistelli.

God has sent help, the Advocate, the Spirit of Truth,
the Holy Spirit. If you have accepted Christ, He has come to intercede on your
behalf.

He will give you a renewed strength. He will comfort you, encourage you,
and give you counsel in those times when life hurls all it has in your direction.
He
will testify to the truth that Christ took it all at the cross. He will testify
to the truth of God’s promises for His children.

What or Whom will you choose to be anchored to today?

Expecting the Unexpected

Jaime Wiebel — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 16:48:00 +0000

“I
was expecting this to happen but I never expected this to happen.”

Six years ago I was
expecting. At twenty-one weeks we went to the doctor for our ultrasound. I was expecting everything to be great. We
would see pictures of the baby, everyone would smile and we would go on our
way. What I wasn’t expecting was twins. And to add even more to the situation,
I wasn’t expecting the ultrasound tech to tell me she couldn’t find either of
their heartbeats.

Eleven years ago my grandpa was having trouble swallowing.
He went in for surgery and when the surgeon came to talk to us we were
expecting him to say that everything went well.
What we were not expecting was for him to tell us that he had cancer,
they could do treatments, but the cancer was not curable.

We have a lot of expectations in life. Sometimes
good expectations that turn out seemingly bad and bad expectations that turn
out better than we could have imagined.

Although in these stories we were expecting the best
and they seemed to not turn out so great let me explain them more closely for
you.

God desires a
relationship with us and uses things in our lives to draw us closer to Him. We
have two choices we can draw near to Him or turn away from Him.

In the first story, when I was actually expecting, God used that experience to completely turn my
life around. You can read more of the story in He Can Move Mountains.

You see until that moment I was living the “good
girl” Christian life meaning I was playing it safe. I was going to church on
Sunday and I could talk a good game but I was really living life for myself and
the way I wanted to live.

God used this experience completely for my benefit. Through
His Word so many realities sank straight into my heart. Here are just a few.

Jeremiah 10:23 reminds
us: I know, LORD, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to
plan our own course. I was planning how many kids I wanted. How far
apart I wanted them. How everything was going to go according to my plan. As a Christ follower I wasn’t
doing much following. I was not consulting God in my life and He knew He needed
to redirect my course.

I praise God for drawing me closer to Him and
producing a more steadfast faith. James 1:2-3 Count it
all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that
the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

My faith was shaky and wavering at best. This trial brought me to my knees. It brought
me to my face. It brought me to the point of surrender that Christ knew I
needed in order for Him to use me.

I know it is often difficult to count your blessings
when you are in the midst of trials but James tells us to count it ALL joy because
the result is a firm, determined faith. The
kind of faith that requires submission to a God who is Greater than all our
trials.

In all my shock I kept saying why did this happen, I
don’t understand. I thought with all of the modern technology, why couldn’t
anything have been detected before this point. James 4:14 reminds
us: Why, you do not even know
what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a
little while and then vanishes.

Some lives end sooner than we expect or than we
want. Our days are numbered and not by our own calendar. We are but a breath,
but a vapor, but a mist, and then our life is over. The choice then lies with
what we are going to do with this time.

In those
moments I realized all God has given me. So I give it all back to him in every
way I can.

My grandpa was amazing man. You can read more in a
tribute I wrote for Father’s Day in A Life Like His.

My grandpa was a WWII veteran. He was stationed on
the aircraft carrier the USS Lexington. The Lexington was stationed in Pearl
Harbor. Two days before Pearl Harbor was attacked they went out to sea to do
practice exercises and the Lexington missed all the attacks on that dreadful
day.

Lexi, however, didn’t escape the war unscathed. She
was later attacked, was sunk, and the men had to abandon ship. My grandfather
told how he floated in open water for hours before being rescued by another
ship.

At the time my grandfather was not a believer but
God had plans for him that he could not have seen. My grandfather came home
from the war, later met my grandma, and they both became saved. My grandpa
spent his life serving the Lord even to the end.

Four weeks after my grandfather passed away, my
soon-to-be husband accepted Christ. He saw the life my grandpa had lived but
more importantly he saw how my grandpa died with an overwhelming peace and the
security that he would soon be home in the loving arms of his Father.

My husband wanted that kind of peace. While my
grandpa would be dearly missed, God changed the course for my life with my
husband. I wasn’t expecting out of his passing my husband would gain life.

This has made all the difference in our marriage. We
expected on our wedding day to vow to each other through it all. Beyond our
expectations, our marriage covenant with God has become the glue that binds us
together.

Life doesn’t always go the way we expect. Not many
people need to be told that.

With Christ we can expect the unexpected because he can do far more than we ask or can imagine.

The real question is, what are you going to do in
life’s unexpected moments?

Please encourage others in the comments below with your unexpected moments.

SHARE with friends so they, too, can journey with us.

Who Is? I AM!

Jaime Wiebel — Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:48:00 +0000

I can’t do this.

There must be someone better than I suited for this job.

I am not tall enough…pretty enough…skilled enough…experienced enough…worthy enough… the list goes on.

Does anyone relate to those statements?

You want to take a new step in your life but you feel (fill in the blank) holding you back. Maybe one of the above statements fill in your blank.

Often times we try and build ourselves up. Maybe we talk ourselves into being better. Maybe we look ourselves in the mirror. Like the SNL sketch: I am smart enough. I am good enough and people like me.

I love the story of Moses because I am assured of God’s greatness not my own.

Many of you may know the story of Moses from the popular movie The Ten Commandments.

Moses was a Hebrew baby boy and in his time the Pharaoh commanded all baby boys to be killed. His mother, however, saw that he was special and hid him for three months. When she could no longer keep him hidden she put him in the reeds along the bank of the Nile River.

Along came the Pharaoh’s daughter, she found him, took him into the palace and eventually adopted him as her own.

Moses was raised with all the advantages. He was wealthy. A trained warrior. He was educated. He had all the benefits a man could have.

At this time the Hebrews were slaves to the Egyptians. Moses was out among the people and noticed an Egyptian beating a Hebrew man. Moses stood up for the Hebrew and killed the Egyptian and thinking no one was looking buried Him in the sand.

The next day Moses saw two Hebrew men fighting and tried stepping in but one of the men asked Moses if he was going to kill them like he killed the Egyptian. The pharaoh found out what had happened, tried killing Moses, so Moses fled to the wilderness.

If you are wondering if God can use you at this point in your life consider Moses’s training. Moses spent the next forty years in the wilderness before God would appear to him in a burning bush. Forty years.

When God appeared to Moses in the burning bush He told Moses he had seen the oppression of His people and He wanted Moses to go to Egypt and lead His people to their own fertile and spacious land. The land “flowing with milk and honey”.

10 Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You must lead my people Israel out of Egypt.” 11 But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?” 12 God answered, “I will be with you. And this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very mountain.” 13 But Moses protested, “If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what should I tell them?” 14 God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.” 15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh. The God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.

This is my eternal name,
my name to remember for all generations. -Exodus 3:10-15 (NLT)

In verse 11 Moses protests with God. Who Am I? I am not… and he immediately tries disqualifying himself as a candidate to do God’s work.

Wonder what Moses was thinking. Well, I know I was a prince and have had training, but you know God I killed a man and then they tried killing me… and… well uh… Who am I?

Can you see Moses trying to talk God out of this task? (Even if he didn’t say it out loud) Sound familiar to anyone?

God doesn’t try to give him a pep talk here. He doesn’t try telling him all the ways he is qualified for the job and how amazing he will be at it. Look back at verse 12 God answers, “I will be with you.”
Again Moses protests to God. He tries again. Well uh… if I say this then they will say, who is it that is sending you?

First of all, Moses sees a burning bush and it is not being consumed by the fire. Secondly, the VOICE OF THE LORD is coming from this bush. I don’t know about you but I tend to think I am going to act on that command from the Lord.

But would I? Do I tend to um well um… around the things God asks me to do, big or small?

Do I start to list all my shortcomings and my inadequacies? Do I start to tell God all the things that make me not worthy to do His work?

God answers him in the most amazing way. Tell them I AM WHO I AM.

He is telling Moses I have always been, I will always be.

What I don’t see is how I am able or worthy to do God’s work. Honestly, I am not.

God is not asking me to go do his work alone. He is not asking me to come with all my super talents and try to impress the world with all I can do.

God answers Moses and He tells us simply, saying I AM.

God wants us to come with a willing obedient heart. Not the best resume.

He will use us for His will and for His purposes and He will equip us to do the work that He asks us to do.

When I come to Him saying I am not… GOD reminds me it’s okay because… I AM.

When They Look At Me

Jaime Wiebel — Thu, 28 May 2015 19:29:00 +0000

The Jesus They See In Me

Driving down the road, I glance in the rear-view mirror.

The little guy I dropped off at
the beginning of the school year is now a whole year bigger.

I can’t believe a whole school year
has passed. I can’t believe my guy is getting so big.

He is so sweet. I turn around to see his beautiful face that
is now almost a third grader and give him a great big smile. I keep sneaking
peeks of him in the mirror and he just laughs and looks away like he doesn’t
notice. Being my first born and the only one in school I can only hope that
this gets easier.

The end of the school year is hardest for me. I know some
people struggle at the beginning of the year but I spend the last few days of
school sad about another year passing by.

As the tears stream down my face, I quickly search for my
sunglasses to keep him from seeing me melt right in front of him. As I force a
smile through my sadness, he just giggles. Thank God for those angel smiles
that He sends through our little kids when times are tough.

As I look in the rear view mirror at my guy, I wonder what
he sees when he looks back at me.

My inner struggle lately has been with second guessing my
thoughts, actions, and reactions to my children. My greatest desire is that my
kids will grow up to love Jesus with all their hearts. I feel this pressure as
being the person that they look at and see the genuine love of Jesus. I just
wonder who the Jesus is they see in me. As mothers we have a great influence on
our children that we should consider carefully.

One of our favorite things to do is sing. We spend every
morning driving to school singing to the tunes of our favorite Christian radio
station. We crank up the radio and sing loudly, well okay maybe just I sing
loudly. But I can see their little mouths ready to break out in song any day
now.

I often times get strange looks as I am driving down the
road because I have one hand on the wheel and the other hand lifted to the heavens
praising my Lord. I usually get funny looks because people are not sure if I am
waving at them or yelling at them (I do sing loudly in my car, not well, just
loudly). Don’t worry I focus on my
driving.

My kids know that I love Jesus. We talk about Him at every
opportunity. He is a part of who we are but my desire is that He is not just a
part of who we are or just pieces of us but that He defines all our actions,
thoughts, and ways. We Praise Him for constantly transforming us and making us
more like Him every day.

Paul gives us great direction for our personal
responsibility in Romans 12. In verse 1 Paul tells us that we are to give
ourselves to God because all He has done for us. This means that daily we have
to consciously and intently give up our own desires to follow Him.

In verse 2 Paul
continues, Don’t copy the behavior and customs
of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way
you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and
pleasing and perfect.

If I want to be able to look at my kids in the mirror and
wonder what they are seeing when they look back at me I can always look to the
instruction manual that God gave us for daily living, His Word.

Don’t copy the behavior or customs of this world. That is
hard. That is why we have to be intent about our choices. Proverbs
3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean
on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will
make your paths straight.

How many of us often times turn to the people around us for
counsel on our daily lives. We turn to our significant others, our family, our
friends, and social media. What is the problem with that? Some of you may be
thinking, nothing. Look at these two verses.

Proverbs tells us to trust in the Lord
and not in ourselves and our own understanding, Romans 12:2 says Let God transform you and your thinking, not
to conform to the thinking of this world.

What is the harm with turning to others? What is the problem
with going for advice or help with our kids, family, marriage, jobs, and
finances, to other people?

My thoughts and your thoughts are limited to our own
understanding. We are finite. Limited to what we can see and understand.

Psalm 147:5 says,
Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit. (NIV) Other
versions use the word infinite. He can see it all, past, present, and future.
He can see the whole picture.

If I want my kids to see Jesus in me, Proverbs 3:6 says, In
all my ways, every situation, the Good, the bad, and the often times messy, I
turn to Him. I acknowledge Him first. I
go to Him first to teach me to be the mom He wants me be and to be like more
like Him.

His promises are He will guide my paths, He will make my
paths straight. He will guide me and transform me to be more like Him. I have
to let God transform me into a
new person by changing the way I think. Changing the way I act. Changing me
from the inside out.

Am I In the Way? and Family Fun Friday

Family Fun Friday

Jaime Wiebel — Tue, 26 May 2015 16:54:00 +0000

I had the amazing opportunity to go to my son’s classroom for Family Fun Friday. I was actually going to have my sister go and talk about her job as an ecologist but it turned out that she was sick and I had to go in her place.

I love how God changes our plans in unexpected ways. Since last minute is my specialty, I decided to go and talk about my current pursuits in serving God in my life.

I had a great afternoon talking to the students about writing, blogging and loving my Lord. What an amazing opportunity to mix things that I love most. My children, my opportunities to spread the Good News of the Gospel through writing, and talking to the students about how much God impacts my whole life.

I extended to the students an opportunity to guest blog on my page. This was voluntary (and meant extra homework), so I am glad to have received an entry.

This entry is from Olivia. I asked the students to draw a picture and write about how God affects their lives and gave them several writing ideas.

Thank you Olivia for your entry. Great Job and thank you for sharing your beautiful heart.

Olivia wrote “When God Helps me!” Inside with her picture her quote says, “God help me, now I am not scared.”

Thank you Olivia for sharing a simple yet profound truth. How many times do we try to do things in our lives through our own strength? We sometimes even let our fears get in the way of God doing His work through us. Read Am I In the Way? for more on getting out of God’s way so He can do His work in us.

Once we submit our fears to the Lord and rely on Him, He is free to release our fears.

Olivia, remember this amazing promise that Moses gave to Joshua before entering the land God had promised to His people, from Deuteronomy 31:8. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you. (NLT)

We are told time and time again, DO NOT BE AFRAID! I love this promise. We are told that the LORD will personally go before us. How awesome He is! With that amazing promise we don’t have to be afraid. We can embrace our fears and in His presence we can be Fearless.

Enjoy this beautiful new song called Fearless by Mia Fieldes.

Friends, Please Comment below to encourage Olivia in her walk with Christ. Thank you!

Am I In the Way?

Jaime Wiebel — Fri, 22 May 2015 01:54:00 +0000

My family and I have recently been going through a bit of a
transition period. My husband and I have talked about this, prayed about this,
and mulled the conversation over and over again.

Every time we wanted to go through with “next step things”
we always had a “but what if” pop into our conversation.

“But
what if the kids won’t be okay…”

“But what if it doesn’t work out…”

“But
what if the kids don’t behave…”

“But what if we don’t have a peace about it…”

“But
what if the change is too much”

But what if… But what if… But what if… Became our song. It became our family anthem.

On and on this went for about three years. Until one day I
was listening to a preacher speaking on the subject of change. They said,
“Today is a new day, you need a new song.” Psalm 40:3 says
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God, many will see and
fear and will trust in the Lord.

My husband came home from work that day and I said to Him.
“We need a new song. We need to turn the page.”

What we needed was to stop embracing the “but, what if’s” in
our lives and completely turn them over to God.

What it came down to was our underlying fears. Isn’t fear
often times the driving force behind our hang-ups. We say, “I would do that or
I want to do that next thing but what if… something doesn’t go right. What if
something happens that we are not prepared for?”

We
fear the change. We fear the unknown.

We decided to hang our “but what if’s” up. We decided it was
time for a new song. We decided it was time to TRUST GOD and HIS PLAN, not our
own. Proverb 3:5-6 says, Trust in the
LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His
will in all you do, and He will make straight your paths.

We decided to go for it. We decided to jump in with both
feet and land on the solid foundation of a GOD who is the rock of our
Salvation. Psalm 62:6 He alone is my rock and
my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.

We turned our song from but what if… it
doesn’t work out

to… GOD WILL WORK IT OUT AND IT WILL BE
GREAT.

Romans 8:28
says and we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,
for those who are called according to His purpose.

So we turned our, “we can’t figure this out” over to
God. We trust, if we seek His will, and
ask Him to serve His purposes through our lives knowing that for Him nothing is
too hard, that he will straighten our path.

Sometimes we have to get our excuses out of
God’s way so He can do His work through us.

We had to ask ourselves these great BIG questions.

DO WE TRUST GOD? DO
WE BELIEVE HIS PROMISES TO US? DO WE BELIEVE THAT HE IS FAITHFUL?

YES! YES! YES!

Then what if’s became… God is faithful. God blesses us for
being obedient and trusting Him. God leads the way. God equips us for His work
no matter where or what He is calling us to do.

Our problem with fear does one thing, it wraps around us. It
grips us. It even sometimes paralyzes us from moving forward.

When we release those fears to God and let Him take them.
Let Him free us from the bondage. We have the open arms to embrace the next
thing He has for us.

Now we move forward, not because of what we have done but
what He has done through us and in us. Not because of our strength, but His
strength being perfected in our times of weakness.

Today we sing a new song, a song of praise to the One who
puts a song in our heart.

Psalm 98:1a A Psalm. O sing to the Lord a new song; for He has done
wonderful things.
