Be still my soul, be still my soul,
Cease from the labor and the toil.
Refreshing springs of peace await
the trouble minds and hearts that ache.
Cease from the labor and the toil.
Refreshing springs of peace await
the trouble minds and hearts that ache.
Be still my soul; God knows your way
and He will guide for His name's sake,
Plunge in the rivers of His grace;
Rest in the arms of His embrace.
and He will guide for His name's sake,
Plunge in the rivers of His grace;
Rest in the arms of His embrace.
Be still my soul, be still my soul,
Though battles 'round you rage and roar.
One thing you need and nothing more;
To hear the whisper of you Lord.
One thing you need and nothing more;
To hear the whisper of you Lord.
I cast all my cares upon you,
I lay all of my burdens down at your feet
And anytime that I don't know what to do
I will cast all my cares upon you.
God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me.
He will be my guide hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way.
He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me.
He will be my guide hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way.
These three songs brought a smile to my face and heart and tears to my eyes. Even when I forget about God he always remembers me and takes me back when I mess up. He is the one person I can ALWAYS go to no matter what. He doesn't tell me I'm stupid or can't do it or that I'm ugly. In fact, He tells me just the opposite. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue (Prov 31:26)... I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength... I am fearfully and wonderfully made... And so many more.
As amazing as church was this morning we found at something that shocked me, at least. Bro. Dale announced his resignation as Pastor.
*Please pray for Friendly Baptist Church as we are in this transition and begin to look for another pastor. Pray for guidance and to bring an amazing Pastor who loves the Lord to our church.
*Also, please pray for Bro. Dale, Mitzi and their family as they begin the next chapter of their lives. Pray for Bro. Dale's health, as he has previous had two liver transplants. Pray that the Lord keep them in His will and bring them where they are supposed to be.
Bro. Dale is the only pastor I can ever remember having; He has been my Pastor for 19 out of 22 years. It is going to be strange without him and his family at church, but this is what the Lord has planned, so I know it will turn out good.
That is definitely not the news I was looking forward to hearing on the first day of a new and incredible year, but you can't argue with God. We have an amazing staff that will step up and take charge like they always do. I am beyond blessed to be apart of the most amazing church family anyone could ever ask for.
A story that made my day was one that my grandma told me a few weeks ago. She was at church one Sunday night and Bro. Dale came up and told her how I made his day turn around. I saw him in Wal-Mart one evening and I went over he gave me a big hug and told me he loved me and I told him I loved him too. He told my grandma how much he was hurting that day and how I turned it around. Well, little does he know that by my grandma telling me this, he turned my entire day around!!

I did get in the workout that I had planned for the first day of the year, but I got to spend the afternoon with a group a great friends and my dogs out at the park playing frisbee golf. It was nice.
Today, the second day of the year has gone much better! I feel like I have accomplished so much, but at the same time I haven't really done much. :)
I had an incredible workout this morning! I shaved off 1min and 12sec from the 2000m row at the gym then kicked tail on the elliptical. I came home, finally got my curtains put up and cleaned all the trash out of my car, which filled up a 13+ gallon trashcan :-o :-/ Now it just needs a good vacuum and wash... but it was too cold to do that today.
