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.

Fought the good fight

Forgive me for not being as faithful this last week about posting as I should have been. It has been a crazy last couple weeks. As much as I hate to say this, I am returning to the States unexpectedly in two days. God has brought circumstances into my life at this time that make it best for me not to stay. I am praying that the time I was here, God will use what I did to be a blessing to those that I came in contact with. Please pray for me as I travel, it is going to be a LONG trip. I am going to returning to my home in CO for the remainder of the summer, and Lord willing will be back at Northland in September. Thank you for your prayers during this time. I will let you all know how the trip goes!!

Love from Japan,
Jenn

    Jenn,
    God's will is always perfect. He has a reason and it is good. Sometimes we do not understand. His thoughts and His ways are higher than ours, but we KNOW that He knows the future, and as Your SHEPHERD, HE knows where His lamb is to be at all times. Be thankful for His divine protection over you. He has another job for you and has called you home to do it! You will know when He shows you! I have been praying and I am continuing to pray.
    Love and Hugs to you.

    I continue to pray and I know that God KNOWS all things, and The GREAT SHEPHERD is always directing the steps of each of His lambs, protecting them, feeding them, taking them to green pastures! You are following Him faithfully and therefore your cup is filled and running over!
