Monday, October 19, 2009, 6:04 a.m. – I woke to this song:
Much Too High A Price / Jesus Paid It All / Phil McHugh and Greg Nelson
Your love endured the cross, despising all the shame,
That afternoon when midnight fell Your suffering cleared my name.
And that sin-swept hill became the open...
Monday, October 12, 2009, 8:22 a.m. – When I woke this morning, I had two hymns running through my mind simultaneously. They were “Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross” and “Have Thine Own Way, Lord.”
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. Then, I read Hosea 10:
My Understanding: [All...
Friday, October 09, 2009, 5:13 a.m. – I woke to this song in my head:
He That Winneth Souls is Wise / NewSong
There’s a battle going on through the ages -
A war between darkness and light.
And though some may ignore it, it still rages -
It’s time we stand up and fight.
The weapons of our...
Thursday, October 08, 2009, 8:22 a.m. – I woke to this song in my mind:
All and More / NewSong
All I ever wanted was love
All I ever longed for was peace
All I ever needed was hope
Everything I reached for was wrong
To the very thrills here and gone
He was waiting there all along
He came to...
11:39 a.m. – I got on the news to see what was going on in the world. The first article I read was an article about President Obama calling for legalizing illegal aliens so that they could be covered under the new health care plan. A few days ago he stated that there was nothing in his health...
Friday, September 18, 2009, 5:11 a.m. – This song was in my head last evening and again this morning:
You Love Me Anyway / FFH
That’s it, I’ve had enough
I think I’m giving up
I can’t stay on this balance beam
I thought I had it all
Then I messed it up
The same old thing got the best of...
7:10 p.m. – I read this article in my local newspaper concerning the 40th anniversary of the Internet –
The Internet: 40 years old, more than 1 billion strong - Inside Bay Area.
I realized as I read this article that this news article applied to this writing as well as to “Idol that...
Sunday, August 30, 2009, 11:20 a.m. – My husband and I went out to Shoney’s for brunch. We had coupons for half-off the normal price of the breakfast bar. After we finished eating, and we had paid for our food, we went to get into our car to go to the grocery store. While we were on the way to...
Monday, August 31, 2009, 8:10 a.m. – The Lord put a song in my head yesterday afternoon and it ran through my mind during the night and was there again this morning, but I don’t know all the words, so I can’t locate it at present. When I find it, I will include the lyrics to the song, because I...
Sunday, August 30, 2009, 6:52 a.m. – I woke to this song:
The Greatest Story / AVALON
Some days your own resolve is strong
And other days you bend
it's two steps forward, one step back
and a stumble now and then
You wonder if you'll ever really make the difference
you've prayed that you will...
Thursday, August 27, 2009, 10:36 p.m. – I was in bed for the night trying to fall asleep, but I just couldn’t get comfortable. This song kept going through my mind:
"Don't Save It All For Christmas Day" / Artist: CELINE DION
Don't get so busy that you miss
Giving just a little kiss
To the...
Wednesday, August 26, 2009, 8:36 a.m. – I woke to this song:
I Will Rise / Chris Tomlin
There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say "It is well"
There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the...
Thursday, August 27, 2009, 6:23 a.m. – I woke to this song:
Hark, the Herald Angels Sing / Charles Wesley / Mendelssohn / Cummings
Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!”
Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the...
Conclusion: God takes us on many journeys through our lives. Some are fairly easy and others are difficult. Sometimes he takes us on the longer road through enemy territory because if he makes it too easy for us, it would be tempting for us to return to our old patterns of behavior. So, often he...
Sunday, August 23, 2009, 6:58 a.m. – I woke to this hymn:
Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah / William Williams / John Hughes
Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand.
Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven,
Feed...
Tuesday, August 25, 2009, 6:22 p.m. – As my husband and I were getting to walk out the door of our house to go to our neighborhood Bible study, this song came into my mind strongly. It had been in my mind earlier in the day, as well:
I Will Rise / Chris Tomlin
There's a peace I've come to...
My Understanding: Although the author of Lamentations is not known for sure, many attribute the writings to Jeremiah. His nation was judged by God, so he was among them when they went through this time of judgment and suffering. Jeremiah begins this passage by talking about Jerusalem and her...
Saturday, August 22, 2009, 6:10 a.m. – I woke to this song:

Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues...

Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness...
Thursday, August 20, 2009, 9:31 a.m. – I sat down to have my quiet time with the Lord this morning when my daughter called me. She called us yesterday from a parking lot where she had pulled off the road because she was experiencing extreme dizziness and could not drive. She is 4 months...
