His Footprints, My Heart...

At least you are keeping your head above water, you know? I wish the answers were easier, but sometimes I think we jsut have to wait and listen for the Lord...

Rejoice in singing to the Lord always. Do it when cleaning, driving, let it be an expression of your soul to the God who made it.

I have a sister in law who is a Christian but due to a bad choice found herself in jail for a few months. Her whole family has been praying lots and lots. She is now back on track with her relationship with God. She is a singer.

She was in jail (of all places!) making her bed and singing. A guy was there to fix the heater and came back after he was done and said, "I never do this so it must be God. Who was singing in here?"

All the girls pointed to my sister-in-law. The guy works with a Christian label and is going to put something together for her.

How like God is that?

Hi Cindy, this is Jen, you stopped by my blog yeseterday. Thanks so much for your comments! You've got a great blog, too. I think you and I have a lot in common-- I'm newly married (6 months,) I sing in church, but also feel like I'm "doggy-paddling." Would you please e-mail me? I'd love to chat with you more beyond the blog.

Hi Nettie! It's funny how we find the same people reading the same blogs without telling each other about it... tee hee! *grin*

Paula,
Thanks, Sis... and you're not the least bit biased, are you..lol! I love ya, you're the greatest! I'll do an audioblog soon.... Thanks for always encouraging me

Barbara,
Thanks so much... I don't know why I "worry" about it... He's always cleared the path at just the right time..."He's an on-time God, yes He is!" Thanks for your prayers...

Nettie,
I know you're right... I'm just restless, like my spirit is restless. Maybe that just means that God's about to do something. I was listening to Charles Stanley last night and he was asking "what God is doing in your life?"... he went on to say that we may be tempted to say "nothing" because we don't see it yet, but God's always working in our lives. Thanks for the encouragement!

Amber Lynn,
Thanks for that reminder that we can't put limitations on God... that He's going to get the glory and will work in spite of what we do :) Thanks for visiting my blog! I'm going to check yours out!

Jen,
Hey! I'll email you... does sound like we have alot in common! I really enjoyed reading your blog so I added it ;)

Miss Irene,
Thanks for stopping by! I'm on my way to check yours out! My husband and I were just talking this weekend about how we wanted to get involved with helping the youth. We've both been involved in that type of ministry before. I've been in a couple of groups that travel around singing and ministering before... I think that longing in my heart is something that God put there... :-)
