Hello Friends,

I know it has been a long time since my last post and I'm sorry for that.  However, sometimes life seems to fly by and this past year has been a roller coaster of spiritual, emotional, physical and mental rides :p  I can now say they have all been for a purpose (although I don't think I'm done with them :]).   I may not know why God has worked these different things in my life, but I can trust they are for His glory and that is why I am here.

The echo of my heart this morning is found in the following song.  I heard it for the first time this summer at The Wilds of New England and it is has stuck with me since then.  I know you can't here the music that goes with it, but the words are so beautiful in themselves that I think you will be blessed just by reading them :)

Settled At The Cross by Cliff Duren

 How I love to read the book You wrote for me
You loved the world so much You gave Your Son
Written there in crimson, You told me I'm forgiven
It is done, it is done

chorus
So if you never speak another word of blessing
And the silence leaves me with a sense of loss
I'll remember when my heart begins to question
Any doubt that You loved me
Was settled at the cross

I would be the first to admit I don't deserve
The kind of favor You have always shown
But You don't have to tell me
You proved how much You loved me
And I'll know, I'll still know

That If you never speak another word of blessing
And the silence leaves me with a sense of loss
I'll remember when my heart begins to question
Any doubt that you loved me
Was settled at the cross

Every drop of mercy
Every breath forgave
Every drop of blood
Testifies of grace!

If You never speak another word of blessing
And the silence leaves me with a sense of loss
I'll remember when my heart begins to question
Any doubt that you loved me
Was settled at the cross

Any doubt that you loved me
Was settled at the cross.

  2. Thanks Melinda :) Life is life...Our gracious, patient and loving heavenly Father has been teaching me so much in so many areas through some many different circumstances and situations.

    I think you can fully understand how sometimes it's really hard to trust God knows what He is doing and that whatever is happening is for the best....some things he has allowed me to see the reason for it later on in life and other things he may not allow me to understand until heaven.:) But either way, He has filled me with a peace I haven't had in a while and I think that is why I haven't been able to write on my blog. If my heart is restless, it's hard for me to put words on paper (or in our case type words on the screen) :} Praise Him for His mercies are new every morning!

    1. Yes! I can understand very much. The past 2 years have been so challenging. Like you, I've had many things in my life recently that I would really love explained, but probably won't know the whole picture until eternity.
      Anyway, good to hear from you! I'm so grateful the Lord is giving you peace...that's something I'm sooo grateful for every day. :-) <3
