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.

One Year on Blogger

Yes, yesterday marked my one year anniversary with this blog. Things have changed since I started it, but as I think back to last year, a lot of things changed in my life too. I think of the verses in Jeremiah, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
(Jer 29:11-13) God knew exactly what he was doing when he sent me to Japan, he knew exactly what he was doing when he sent me back home from Japan, he knew exactly what he was doing when he allowed changes to happen at Northland, and knew that I would make the decision to not remain there. Maybe all along, God was trying to show me that I was not trusting him as much as I should have been.  I knocked and another door was opened, and I found what I had been searching for with all my heart. It took trials to cause me to search with such diligence, but God know what the results would be from the beginning!! :D
