God Is The "Sunrise" To Our Journey

There is such beauty in the journey we take. Without it we would not have the opportunity to know our Father so deeply and intimately.

It is in the moments along our journey that cause us to seek God's face and draw nearer to Him. That is why I Praise God for the moments of brokenness, the midnight hour, the deserts and the valleys. Those moments bring us to deeper levels in Him and those are places and times I would not trade for anything!

When all is said and done each part of the journey brings us closer to Him, makes us stronger and more beautiful than when we began.

God truly does pursue1 us and in all things He is there2. He is the morning light3, the "sunrise" of our lives. Joy does come in the morning4 and it is always His face we see that brings us peace, joy and contentment!

I pray you enjoy this song as I did and allow the lyrics to speak to your heart. May God Bless your heart and your journey. For in Him it will be successful5 and something of beauty to hold onto!

Lyrics:
If I had the chance
To go back again
Take a different road, bear a lighter load
Tell an easy story

I would walk away
With my yesterdays
And I would not trade what is broken for beauty only

Every valley
Every bitter chill
Made me ready to climb back up the hill
And find that . . .

You are sunrise
You are blue skies
How would I know the morning
If I knew not midnight?

You're my horizon
You're the light of a new dawn
So thank You, thank You
That after the long night, You are sunrise

There's a moment when
Faith caves in
There's a time when every soul is certain God is gone

But every shadow is evidence of sun
And every tomorrow holds out hope for us
For every one of us

You are sunrise
You are blue skies
How would I know the morning
If I knew not midnight?

You're my horizon
You're the light of a new dawn
So thank You, thank You
That after the long night, You are sunrise

You alone will shine
You alone can resurrect this heart of mine

You are sunrise
You are blue skies
How would I know the morning
If I knew not midnight?

You're my horizon
You're the light of a new dawn
So thank You, thank You
That after the long night, You are sunrise

You are sunrise

Plugged-In To The "Power Source"

I pray everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year!

I believe God has much more in store for each of us this year than we can imagine.

My prayer is that we will take time each day to talk with God and spend time quietly seeking His voice.

When we take time out each day to get alone with God it makes the greatest difference in our day. By setting time aside for Him, we will be able to stay plugged in and get "fully charged" by Jesus Christ, our "Power Source"!

God will forever be the power and strength we need. Without Him we are like a cell phone without a charge, useless and powerless for the Kingdom of God.

By God's grace, when we seek after Him, He charges us up with His power and strength. He also supplies us with all the other giftings, talents and abilities we need to walk a "fully charged" life!

May each of us take the time to stop and plug-in to the "Power Source" of Christ Jesus as we embark on this next year. Just think what God would do if we were "all" walking a life "fully charged" by the one and only "Power Source" each day. There would be no stopping the amount of miracles God would do!!! When we lend ourselves to Christ, for His use, the possibilities of what He will do are endless.

I encourage each of us to lend ourselves to our Heavenly Father to become the useful, "fully charged" vessels He designed us to be. I know the moment we do, we will enjoy seeing the movement of His handy work in and through our lives!!!

Let's plug-in to the "Power Source" and see what He will do....
