3 - Carrie Underwood w/ Vince Gill How Great thou Art - Standing Ovation!

A dear friend sent me this video of Carrie Underwood singing "How Great Thou Art" at the special Girls Night Out: Superstar Women of Country, which was taped at the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards weekend earlier this month.

Just beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. You may need a kleenex. Enjoy!

4 - For the Heart of the Storm is the Center of Calm...

If God brings you to it, He will get you through it. Do you believe that? Do you really believe that?

“Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me.

The Lord will work out his plans for my life--for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.

Don’t abandon me, for you made me.” Psalm 138: 7-8

5 - Keep Holding On!

Hi, just wanted to quick touch base here and let you know I won't be posting anything new here until after Easter. Very busy. It is 1am here on Good Friday. Something to think about... the Crucifixion comes before the Resurrection! Keep holding on. THE RESURRECTION WILL COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us. " Romans 8: 18

God bless you!

7 - God's Anger at Sin...

"But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them.

8 - The Power of the Resurrection

“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” Philippians 3: 10 (NKJV)

The power of His resurrection. These are the words that have been flooding my heart lately.

9 - Coming to the end of ourselves...

Here'a a thought we can really meditate on...

When we are at the place in our lives where we come to the end of ourselves, it is then we are able to take a step back and see how sufficient and faithful God is! Because we turn from our circumstances to God, we realize that our circumstances are vessels for blessings. It is then we see evidence of Him working in our lives!

10 - Perseverance taught by Taz...

How incredible... part of my prayer this morning was asking God to open up my understanding to the things unseen. He just did! How? Through my cat, Taz!

11 - Cherokee Legend... the Cherokee Indian youths' rite of Passage

Cherokee Legend
Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youths' rite of Passage?

His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.
He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone.

12 - Disappointed in God?... you're not alone

Are you disappointed in God? Many times I am. I’m tired of being sick and tired. I’m tired of crying, tired of beating my head up against the wall. Sometimes I feel like I’m only existing, while others who don’t even give God a scrap of time in their busy days, seem to flourish. I don’t get it. I’m just plain weary.

13 - “There is no pit so deep that God isn't deeper." ~ Corrie Ten Boom

Although Muscular Dystrophy was the catalyst helping me to see my need for God, this book is not just about physical suffering. It's for precious souls who are just plain weary... souls who simply feel beaten down by life. In this 2nd volume, I share wisdom and insights I've learned on this journey.

I've prayed over every page, asking God to give you hope through my words. Most of all, I asked Him to make His love abundantly apparent in your life.

Both Volume One and Volume Two are now Published in Paperback and in Multiple Ebook formats! (Links on Sidebar)

God is so good!

15 - Thou Art a Shield For Me...

“But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
I cried to the LORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill.
I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around.” Psalm 3: 3-6

16 - Psalms... from the Depths of Despair to New Heights of Joy

The LORD is near to the brokenhearted

Hi friends! The next thing we’re going to be doing here on PERSEVERE is to literally go through the Psalms. We’ll put the book of Daniel on hold for now. We want to be ready for ANYTHING that comes our way.

21 - Nebby's Humiliation

“Upon hearing this, Daniel (also known as Belteshazzar) was overcome for a time, frightened by the meaning of the dream. Then the king said to him, ‘Belteshazzar, don’t be alarmed by the dream and what it means.’

23 - Nebby's Tree Dream

Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. Proverbs 16: 18

3/4/2011 8:03:00 AM

24 - "Worship Me or Else..."

King Nebby was so in love with himself, and he expected everyone in Babylon to share that same love. Probably inspired from the dream he had, he erected a 90 feet gold statue of himself, and commanded that everyone bow down to it...
