inspiration

ok, so someone left me a note and told me how to post a video. YAY!!! i am so happy. THANK YOU!!!
i wish you could see the kool-aid smile on my face right now. i am so happy, if i wasn’t in the library i’d get up and dance *praise break*. anyway, i’m gonna rewrite the entry i intended to write yesterday.
does anyone else plan out their entries and list things you wanna write about other then me?

anyway, if you read my entry yesterday you kno i was stressing and frustrated and stuff. well in the midst of all of that i was on youtbe watching tonex videos. he has a youtube page for those of you that like him or want to find out more about him. anyway, he sang a song that touched me and now (thank God) i can share it with you.

the words of the song are…

Because he lives
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

so as yo listen, just think and meditate on the words. by the way, excuse the talking part at the beginning and end of the video. you’d have to kno the whole story in order to understand what he’s talking about. but i hope it blesses you
(for those of you that still dont kno, this is Tonex singing)

then after that video i was blessed again, as i was looking at Kim Burrell videos. so i wanna share this one with you also. again forgive all the people screaming and talking. she’s singing to the Katrina victims. as you listen think about them and as you read think about your own life. she is truly the best female singer out there today.

Thank you Lord

Tragedies are common place
All kinds of diseases
People are slipping away
The economy’s down
People can’t get enough pay
As for me all I can say is…
Thank you Lord for all You’ve done for me

Folks without homes
Living out in the streets
And the drug habit some say
They just can’t beat
Muggers and robbers
No place seems to be safe
But You’ve been my protection
Every step of the way and I want to say…
Thank you Lord for all You’ve done for me

It could have been me
Outdoors
With no food
And no clothes
Or just alone
Without a friend
Or just another number
With a tragic end
But you didn’t see fit
To let none of these things be
Cause everyday by Your power
You keep on keepin’ me
And I wanna say
Thank you Lord for all You’ve done for me

and finally, my last song of inspiration. by one of the most anointed men in gospel music today, thats right Smokie Norful. a dear friend of mine responded to my last entry about the song I Need You Now and immediately i thought of his singing of the song. of course i went and found it on youtube. so listen and again think on the words of the song and let it sink in and minister to you. forgive the logo in the middle of the screen.

I Need You Now

Not a second
Or another minute
Not an hour
Or another day

But at this moment with my arms outstretched
I need you to make a way
As you?ve done so many times before
Through a window or an open door

I stretch my hands to you
Come rescue me
I need you?
Right away

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now

Not another second
Or another minute
Not aother hour of another day
But Lord I need you right away

If I never needed you before
To show up and restore
All of the faith that I let slip
While I was yet searching the world for more

The true best friend I have indeed
You?re my best friend I know indeed
I stretch my hands to thee
Come rescue me
I need you right away

The agony of being alone
The fear of doing things on my own
The test and trials that come to make me strong
The feelings of guilt, hurt, shame, and defeat
The way the trials that beat upon me
But to know Lord that in you I?ve got victory

I need you now, Lord, I need you now (Oh, wo, wo)
I need you right now, right now, right now
I need you now

Oh not another second
Not another minute, Lord
Can?t wait another day (oh?)
Oh Lord, please make a way
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Mmmmm, Yeah

i stop right now to pray that these songs minister you; heart, mind, body, and soul. i pray that God use this entry and these songs to let you know that he loves you and cares for you and that he is right there with you and for you, all you have to do is call out to him and let him know that you need him. i pray that as you listen to these songs you let go of whatever is bothering you, hurting you, or holding you captive emotionally, physically, mentally, or spiritually. i pray that God wrap his loving arms around each of you and hold you close. that he give you peace in the midst of all that your going thru. i also pray that he lead you and guide you and that you be obedient to his leading. i pray that he begins to prove himself to you like never before. i pray that God blesses you and continues to love you and shower you with his grace and mercy for the rest of your life. i pray that God give you the strength to hold until and the patience to endure until he works everything out and the assurance that he will work everything out for you. i pray that you kno that you are never alone and that you can make it. you are created by God and in his image, therefore you deserve to be treated and given respect and love, so you should also show and give respect and love to others. kno that you can do all things through him who created you and gives you the strength to do it. above all i pray that God’s will would be done in each of your life, so that you might fulfill that purpose for which God put you on this earth. i pray all these things in the name of our redeemer Jesus Christ.
Amen
