The Widow's Might - Trailer

I just watched "The Widow's Might" tonight!! I definitely recommend this movie...it is an excellent family film that teaches the importance of doing what is right.

Thank you, Jesus for Your love

That is bigger than the ocean

I will praise You all my days

The ocean tide rolls in and out again

You forgive me of my sins and wash them away

I was dead in my sin

Yet, You saved me from my wretched state

And gave me a new life

How could I ever thank you enough

For all You've done for me

You died for me on a cross

You gave your life so I could have life

You saved me and made me a new creature

You are my Savior and Lord

Use my life as You will

I'll abandon all these earthly pleasures

To follow hard after You

The Ultimate Director

We have a clipboard in our hands
We are now the official director of the play
Yet, God was supposed to be the director
We shove Him off the stage
We grab the clipboard and pen out of His hand
We start scrawling furiously, marking out His plans
We take our place on the stage and start casting roles
We say, "You need to go there
And you need to go here
I’d like you to play the part of Juliet
I’d like you to play the part of Romeo
You need to play this character or that"
We cast the whole play
The time for the performance of the play comes
It is disastrous
No one knows where they are supposed to go
Everyone forgets their lines
We get mad and ask God, "Why didn’t you bless us?"
Why didn’t you let us have a good play performance?"
His answer, “Because you took me out of the show.”
Suddenly we realize how foolish it was for us to take the role of the director in our lives
We had selfishly cast the characters on our own
Sometimes God switches the roles of characters
Yet, it is all planned perfectly and in His will when He directs it
Sometimes God moves characters to a different scene because He knows it will make the play better
Yet, His casting is perfect
Why don’t we step aside and let Him direct?

God's beautiful creation

The beauty of God's creation

should be a reminder of how loving God is.

He could have made everything black and white.......

Yet, he chose to use beautiful, vibrant colors

Because He loves us

He loves us SO much that

He gave His only Son.....

So that we could be forgiven of our sins.....

And have fellowship with God.......

And have everlasting life.

May God bless you today and always,

Stacie

My Testimony

I have been very fortunate to have been raised by godly parents. They taught me about Jesus ever since I was very young and I have been in church all my life. When, I was six years old I made a decision. However, later I realized I hadn’t truly understood the plan of salvation. I knew I wanted to go to heaven, but I really didn’t understand what it meant to follow Jesus and to become a Christian.
At the age of eleven, I had been feeling convicted for quite a while. However, I wasn’t sure why, because I thought I was already a Christian. It was on August 13, 2003 that I realized that I was lost and was a sinner. On that Tuesday morning, I knelt down in my living room and cried out to God and asked Him to save me. Tears were trickling down my face as I experienced salvation. The curtains were open in our living room, and the sun was pouring in. Just as the sun was pouring into the windows, Jesus was pouring His light into my soul. As I was praying, I experienced a peace that I had never felt before.
After becoming a Christian, it doesn’t stop there. Jesus wants us to grow closer to Him. Recently, I realized how my life needs to be totally and completely surrendered to God. I want only what is in His will for my life. With many important decisions coming up, I want to make sure that I am right where God wants me to be. I desire to have more of a thirst for God’s Word. We can never be too passionate about Him. I pray that I will fall more and more in love with Jesus every day of my life. It amazes me and leaves me speechless that the omnipotent God indwells me. Christ gave His all for us, so we must give our all to Jesus. I praise Jesus Christ for the gift of salvation that He has freely given for all mankind. My life has never been the same since I got saved!!

I am a Child of the King

Verse 1:
Who am I?
Jesus, why am I here?
I only wish to be near You; to be near Your wounded side.
Why did You, my King, have to die?
Thank You for Your love,
But tell me who am I?

Chorus:
I'm falling in love with the King of the Universe.
I sing to You my song of praise.
That's what I am, and who I am.
Yeah, that is who I will always be.
At your side is where I will forever be.
That's my only desire.
Everything else is fading away
I fall face down at Your blood stained feet.
You showed me that I am in You, and You are in me.
That is who I am.

Verse 2:
I ask You, "Where am I?"
Am I in the center of Your will?
Have I been running from You this long?
To be in Your shadow is where I belong.

Verse 3:
Who should I be?
Who am I now?
At Your nail pierced feet, I run back to you and surrender.
When I hear Your voice and I see Your smile, I run into Your open arms.
Tears fill my eyes and trickle down my face.
It is in that moment, I realize Who I am, and Whose I am.

Bridge:
Who am I?
"Jesus, forever I am yours."
And forever will forever be.

Chorus:
I'm falling in love with the King of the Universe.
I sing to You my song of praise.
That's what I am, and who I am.
Yeah, that is who I will always be.
At your side is where I will forever be.
That's my only desire.
Everything else is fading away
I fall face down at Your blood stained feet.
You showed me that I am in You, and You are in me.
That is who I am.

Empty

He doesn't know that there is another way

Everything he's tried won't work

He thinks that money will buy him happiness

He thinks that finding his talent will show the world

 Yet the hole remains

All the empty space

The world is crashing in around him

He drowns because of the sorrow

He thinks he will drink his pain away

Yet it doesn't go away

It just becomes deeper

He can't get rid of it

A bigger hole remains

Emptiness is all he can find

Empty beer bottles

Empty dreams

Empty promises....

The alcohol isn't the answer

He only craves more

The drugs aren't the answer

The addictions only become bigger and bigger in his life

Gambling to get what he thinks he needs

Yet the hole in his heart remains

It hurts so much

And he aches so

But does he really know

What the answer is in his life?

He's learned that pride isn't the answer

It only led him to destruction

Drinking won't stop the tears

That stream down his face

Nor will it numb his pain
 

The empty bottles lay scattered across the floor

Parties with people that he won't even remember
Nights with women whose names he didn't know

The tears never stop

The hurt never ceases

The hole in his heart stabs harder

He falls deeper and deeper into sin

He doesn't know what caused it

He tries hard to push against the walls

But he can't knock them down                        

The empty room only gets smaller

And it's getting harder to breathe

Because he can't run away........

He knows that something is wrong with him

That something is wrong with the world

He realizes that everyone tries to give him something to fill him up
Yet, he still feels alone

He doesn't realize WHO can fill him up

Who can take his pain and emptiness away

So, he falls deeper and deeper

And it's that much harder to find happiness
because everything seems empty

The pictures begin to disappear from the frames on the wall

He stumbles along through the road of life

Not knowing which way to go

Confused

He stops at the intersection staring at which direction to take

Hurt cause he's falling

Crumbling....

Suffocating.....

Getting harder to breathe

Running from everything he's tried to make him happy

He wrestles in his own sin

The bottle isn't the answer

It just becomes empty

The world screams at him that everyone is that way

He thinks he has no choice

But to live life like he is

While his life rushes by him

And he cries

His years are whizzing by

Sobbing

Choking tears back

That he's tried to hide

But he can't hide them anymore

Cause he can't find the answer

To to why his heart hurts so much

He falls apart in an empty room

Tears fall upon the floor

He falls on his face wanting more

He needs Jesus

He is the One that will fill this emptiness up

God is the one who can truly give him happiness

He needs Jesus

He need His love

His mercy

How he needs to see God's love

But does he know of God's grace?
Does he know that Jesus is the ONLY way

The answer to his pain.....

Will someone tell him of the One that gave his life so that we can have life?

He lay there suffocating

Thinking emptiness is all there is to life

Everything comes crashing down

The empty pictures frames fall off the walls

Glass shatters all around him

He sobs desperately

Falling apart inside

With all the hurt that he is trying to hide

"I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.

No man comes to the Father except through me." -John 14:6

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. " -John 3:16-18
