Another Year From Now

Another year from now
Where will life find us?
Will it make us or will it break us?
What will be our passions?
What will be our fights?

Another year from now
Some will be given in marriage.
Will it be you or I,
How many times will our hearts be broken?
And many times will we have cried.

Another year from now
Some will forever fall asleep,
their life on earth determining the heavenly divide.
How many children will be born?
How many children will die?

Another year from now
How many more times will
The government lie?
When will their pride
become their fall?

Another year from now
How many times will
We say goodbye?
Who will we still call friend?

Another year from now
How many times will man
Spit in the face of God?
How many lost and wondering
Hearts will be saved?

Another year from now
A great mystery remains.
God alone knows the coming of the days
The story is still being written,
The future is in His hands.

~Anne

A Mighty Fortress

A dear friend introduced me to this song. It is powerful.
The lyrics are at the bottom.

Our God is, a consuming fire,
A burning holy Flame, with glory and freedom
Our God is, the only righteous judge,
Ruling over us with kindness and wisdom

We will keep our eyes on You
We will keep our eyes on You

A mighty fortress is our God
A sacred refuge is Your Name
Your Kingdom is unshakable
With You forever we will reign

Our God is, jealous for His own
None could comprehend, His love and His mercy
Our God is exalted on His throne
High above the heavens
Forever He’s worthy...

We will keep our eyes on You
We will keep our eyes on You

We will keep our eyes on You
We will keep our eyes on You
So we can set our hearts on You
Lord we will set our hearts on You!

While You Were Sleeping

In light of Christmas's quick approach I have a Christmas song. May our heart be not cold to the truth and the turmoil of this world. And may Christ not find us sleeping when He returns. Jesus is the reason for the season and His death is the reason He came.

Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight

Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

Oh little town of Jerusalem
Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save

Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
Jerusalem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night

America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping
Will we be sleeping

United States of America
Looks like another silent night
While you were sleeping~ -Casting Crowns

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

1 Peter 3:15

He is Jealous for me.

Lord,You have everything yet You are jealous for me.

Of Wolves

There are two wolves fighting, a black wolf and a white wolf. Which one will win?

The one you feed.

Do you have a struggle you can't seem to get loose from?
I do and I found out that one of the reasons I can't let go of it is because I like it so much I continue to feed it.

A well fed black wolf doesn't die easily.




"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life." ~Galatians 6:7-8


Thanks for this Alyssa.
