Confidence

I’m not a warrior
I’m too afraid to lose
I feel unqualified for what you’re calling me to
But Lord with your strength
I’ve got no excuse
'Cause broken people are exactly who you use

So give me faith like Daniel in the lion’s den
Give me hope like Moses in the wilderness
Give me a heart like David, Lord be my defense
So I can face my giants with confidence

CONFIDENCE by Sanctus Real

Last week granddaughter Kaedyn stayed with me a few days. She taught me this new song.

Like the Spring Rain

“So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD. 
  His going forth is as certain as the dawn; 
    And He will come to us like the rain, 
     Like the spring rain watering the earth.”

Hosea 6:3

My Father's World

I have never been to the Grand Canyon, but something tells me, that if I were to ever see it, it would not be necessary to have a sign in front of it that said, "GRAND" canyon, and no one would have to tell me that the one who created this is a GREAT GOD!

This is my Father's world.
O let me never forget
that though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
Maltbie Babcock

I have enjoyed listening to old familiar hymns sung by the students at Fountainview Academy.

Knowledge

This is a photo of hundreds of thousands of stars taken from Hubble.

My grandparents remembered as children, being in awe the first time they saw an airplane fly over their little north Georgia town. I marvel at how rapidly knowledge has increased in my lifetime. How amazing it must have been to Daniel when God revealed in a vision the events of the last days.

Daniel 12

And the teachers and those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness (to uprightness and right standing with God) [shall give forth light] like the stars forever and ever.

But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God’s purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased.

Kids Say the Cutest Things

I was an elementary teacher and I love the original answers kids invent -

You can listen to thunder after lightning to tell how close you came to getting hit. If you don't hear it.... never mind.

Australia has cold summers and hot winters, but somehow the people seem to adjust.

Many dead animals in the past changed to fossils, while others preferred to become oil.

Some people can tell the time by looking at the sun, but I have never been able to make out the numbers.

I am not sure how clouds get formed, but the clouds know how to do it and that is the important thing.
