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.

The Prayers go up, the Blessings come down...

I just had to post my most recent blessing. As many of you know, I have been needing about $1700 to complete the support needed to pay for living expenses and insurance. Yesterday my mom called me after she got home from church. They had a business meeting last night, and had also read my most recent letter updating everyone on the status of my trip. I had a little bit of money sitting in an account set up for my Japan trip, but during the business meeting, they voted to give me the remainder of what I was needing for living expenses. Now all I need is money for personal expenses during my 6 months in Japan!!!

God is GOOD!!!

Luke 11:9  And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

  1. Wow! Praise the Lord! So glad your home church is going to get behind you that way! The Lord will continue to provide. Now we just keep praying that paperwork through.
