I Feel LIke Singing

 Ephesians 5:19

19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

My friend and sister in Christ sent me a song this morning.  "Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross."

(Traditional rendition by the Mississippi Mass Choir.)  I am listening now, and I feel like singing. The thing is once I get started on one song my mind wanders to others.  "I feel like going on. Though trials come on every hand, I feel like going on."  I feel my help coming on and I start to hum: "I don't feel no ways tired come too far from where I started from. Nobody told me the road would be easy, but I don't believe He brought me this far to leave me."  The Holy Spirit reminds me: "The Lord is blessing me right now.  Lord right now.  He woke me up this morning and started me on my way."  Glory to God!

I feel like singing. I am having a concert in my heart.  Later on, it's likely I will have a full concert via YouTube.  Some days I take out my tambourine and invite anyone in earshot to the praise fest.

I feel like singing: "Lord, Lord, Lord you sho been good to me."  "When I look back over my life and when I think things over, I can surely say that I've been blessed.  I've got a testimony."

Singing. "Why should my heart feel lonely and long for heaven and home.  When Jesus is my portion. My constant friend is He...I sing because I'm happy.  I sing because I'm free."   Kirk Franklin wrote: "Someone asks the question why do we sing?  When we lift our hands to Jesus what do we really mean?"   Singing is a gift from God.  It refreshes the soul.  It calms the mind. It instructs the spirit.  Oh yes.  I feel like singing.

Sing! I encourage you to sing today.  Don't be shy.  Open your heart and your mouth.  If you can't sing out loud right now, get a melody going in your head.  Sing! You will feel better! Sing and find your hope renewed.  

 I feel like singing.  "God has smiled on me.  He has set me free.  God has smiled on me.  He's been good to me."

God bless!

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
