Im running to your arms.

The riches of your love will ALWAYS be enough. Nothing compares to your embrace, Light of the world forever reign. Im running to your arms.

This weekend, I have found myself not being able to stop listening to this song. Its been a very spiritual (high) weekend I guess you could call it that. I have really been "running to his arms" because truly its the only thing that meets me exactly where I am. I love being in his will and knowing he loves me more than words can say. I never have to worry about not being loved or not being accepted because as long as he loves me and excepts me that is all that really matters to me. He has given me soo many people in my life that mean the absolute world to me. I truly can sit here tonight and tell you that I am sooo happy and excited about his will and plan for my life. I can not wait. I understand that if he NEVER did one more thing for me in this life that I would STILL owe him my life and everything in it. He makes me happy and he always knows exactly how to make me smile. Its a relationship I would not trade for anything. be encouraged that even when you feel like no one loves you or even cares....he does....ALWAYS. and he will NEVER stop loving you.

Blessing and honor to you the only wise King

Filled with wonder awestruck wonder at the mention of your name. Jesus your name is power breath and living water such a marvelous mystery. Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God almighty who was and is and is to come. With all creation i sing praise to the King of Kings.

I have been thinking about this song this morning. Are we still "Filled with awestruck wonder at the mention of his name." Do we still have the feeling we had when we were first saved and everything was lifted from us..? Do we still care as much as we did then? We should have that same feeling each day we wake up from our cozy beds. The price he paid is too great for us to care sooo little. We would not even be on this world if it weren't for him. I feel like the phrase Pastor Bobby uses alot is a great eye-opener. "If i were God, and its a very good thing Im not... I would simply reach down to Earth and just turn off the oxygen... and when everyone started flopping around like fish and turning blue... then I would say who needs who now. Because the truth is... God does not need our ability but our availability... after all we are talking about the God of the universe here.. What could he possibly need except desire for our love and admiration and our availability to do his work here on Earth. Just a reminder.. Love all of you.

This is where the Healing begins.

There's freedom waiting in the sound when you let your walls fall to the ground. This is where the healing begins, this is where the healing starts when you come to where your broken within...the light meets the dark.--Tenth Avenue North

I have been listening to this song non stop for about a week now. This past week has been one of the roughest of my life. One of my inspirations Tommy Fields died this past Tuesday in a motorcycle accident. He was an inspiration, but even more than that, he was like a Father to me. I have grown up in church with him and sang with him every Sunday night since I can remember. I have been busy going here, going there, since summer has been here; and when this happened it turned my world upside-down as it did everyone that knew him. I have found out this passed week that it always hurts worse when it is unexpected and an accident. But as the bible says unlike those that have no hope we have hope that we will see him again.... and I believe it will be VERY soon.

I have also realized a few things that I knew before this happened but it has really hit home this passed week. Sometimes I realize, as most of you, I am sure that sometimes I get sooo busy in this world that I forget to involve him in my day and that is a wasted day, and I have realized that I have even more of a desire to live for him and do all that I can on this Earth to promote a Father that never leaves us and is always here, even when, "our world is crashing down." I know that if WE do not live this life out the way he created us too, we will never be satisfied. I am sooo happy that Tommy lived the life he did and spoke into sooo many peoples life through his life and through singing. He always made me smile and I know he is singing to Jesus, and having a great time. I would not wish him back here for anything, as much as I would like to see him again. I know I will get to see him soon. At his funeral, eight people were saved, I know he was smiling down and heaven was rejoicing. What a GREAT experience to see at a funeral. God was there. & seeing those lives saved was worth sooo much. God is sooo good, he can work in the most devastating points of our life.

Lets live this out for God, he gave his only son so that we could live and one day go to be with him and all of those that have died, and now with him, that we love and want to see again. He loves us with an unconditional love, and has soooo much in store for your life. In only we could grasp the thought of how much he truly loves us and live like we knew it. He is here to pick us up off of our faces whenever we choose. But its our choice, we have free-will. He will not force you into a commitment with him. But I can promise you one thing, it will not always be easy, and bad things still will happen because we are living in a fallen world but if you take that first step he WILL meet you, and once you take that step... its the BEST decision you will make in your life. A lifelong friend,father,counselor,savior, and comforter.

I love you all. Thanks for reading.
