Be Adventurous!

Follow our family on our daily adventure on this thing called "life" as we try to be God's hands and feet to the world around us. Matthew 28:19-20

I have been really debating what I was going to put up here all week. This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions and questions. I have really had to be on my knees in prayer for direction. Part of me wanted to curl up in HIS lap and just rest while the other part of me wanted to shout from the rooftops, "THIS WILL NOT MAKE ME STOP! I AM NOT DEFEATED! I WILL NOT CURL UP AND HIDE! I AM NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT!"

I think these two songs show both sides of me this week! Both of them are from a great worship band we had at Acquire the Fire. They are called Unhindered and they are awesome! They are true worshipers.

Father will you come




Father will you come
There's a love forgetting my failures
There's a hope that's setting me free
There's a light defeating my darkness
There's redemption calling all to sing

Father will you come
open up our eyes
Fill us with your heart
Renew us with your life
Consume us with your majesty
Consume us with your majesty

Glory Honor and Power Belong to you





We Shine

We shine, we shine the light of God
And when we speak, we speak with words of Love
And when we dance, we may get a little wild
Cause we’re the people of God, yeah the people of God
And when we sing, we sing the angel songs
The worlds been singing around the throne
Yeah, yeah, we’ll worship the King with everything that we are
Cause we’re the people of God, yeah the people of God, yeah

And now is the time for the people to rise
Lift up a shout, everybody cry out
Raise your voice, and shout out a noise
Dance the dance of joy!

We are the redeemed
We are the ones who are free
And we belong to Jesus
We are now alive
And in this world we will shine
And we belong to Jesus

And where the spirit of God is freedom rings
And come, come on, throw off your prison chains
We’re liberated by a King, only freedom remains
For the people of God, yeah the people of God, yeah yeah
We’re living in a Kingdom that will never end
We’re living in a power of defeated sin
So come on everybody, let’s praise the King
Jesus is alive, and he’s coming again!

And now is the time for the people to rise
Lift up a shout, everybody cry out
Raise your voice, and shout out a noise
Dance the dance of joy!

We are the redeemed
We are the ones who are free
And we belong to Jesus
We are now alive
And in this world we will shine
And we belong to Jesus

We’re going into to all the world
We’re carrying the light of Jesus
And we shine, we shine
In the darkest place, we shine

Yeah, we’re going into all the world
We’re carrying the light of Jesus
And we shine, we shine
In the darkest place, we shine

And now is the time for the people to rise
Lift up a shout, everybody cry out
Raise your voice, and shout out a noise
Dance the dance of joy!

We are the redeemed
We are the ones who are free
And we belong to Jesus
We are now alive
And in this world we will shine
And we belong to Jesus

Sweet sister,

I've had the same sort of week!

Isn't it better when we put on the garment of praise and offer a true sacrifice of worship to our Savior!!

Praying that you are overwhelmed by His goodness and love for you....

Blessings,
steph.
