In the account of Noah's Ark, found in Genesis 5-10, God gives Noah a sign; a rainbow, His covenant to all men that he would never again flood the entire earth. The word covenant is used in scripture over 270 times, the word promise is used over 100 times. When we are in the midst of a trial in our lives, sometimes it is the hardest time to recall the promises of God; however, this is the time when it is most important to remember what God has promised to us, especially if you are His child.

Something I have found to be a huge blessing to me, is really studying the message of hymns or biblicaly inspired songs that we sing, or hear on the radio on a daily/weekly basis. It is my hope to use this blog as a way of sharing the lyrics to songs that have been a blessing to me, and how they have blessed me and reminded me of a promise given by God, and in turn be a blessing to others.

Spring Break, not going according to plan!!

Hello everyone, from bright, sunny Minneapolis, MN! At least it is sunny today, I has rained, snowed, and been in general, really cold this week...not what was in the forecast last week. I am spending the week at my aunt and uncle's house in Champlin. It has been a wonderful week, I am sad that it is almost over. But I did not come prepared for the things that have happened. With the weather, I was ready for a week of 50* temperatures, it has been in the 30's or lower all week I think...All the plans I had for friends & family o see, places to go, and things I wanted to do that all just ended up not happening the way I wanted them to. It reminds me of the verses in Isaiah 55 where it says 'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.' The things I planned for this week apparently did not fit in with what God wanted me to do. I still got to see the family & friends that I wanted to, just not in the time-frame I would have chosen. But God's ways are better than mine, and He knows what is going to happen tomorrow.

With Love from Minnesota,

Jennifer Sandahl
