Song of the Week - "God Hears"

This is an emotional roller coaster of a week for me. I don’t usually talk about it, and I don’t plan to today. There are days in all of our lives where we just need comfort from God. I know so many people who are going through so many different situations in their lives right now. We all need to know that God hears.

One of my favorite passages of Scripture is Romans 8:26-27. “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.” These verses have helped me through many difficult days.

The Song of the Week is actually a new song to me, but it is exactly what I needed to hear. God hears me and I don’t even have to say a word.

Monday Meditations - Ambivilence

Ambivalence Oh, how this word defines us as humans! We are ambivalent about so many things. We are wishy-washy. We can't seem to make up our minds about anything. Just look at a woman's bedroom after she has gotten dressed. The pile of clothes on the bed tells us that dress is the wrong color, that one is uncomfortable, today's the wrong mood for that one, that one isn't appropriate for the situation, that one doesn't fit anymore… I've known women that can't make up their minds about who they want to date. Some can't make up their minds about which women they truly want to be friends with. College students enter the university with one major and come out with another, yet work in a completely different third field. Couples get married only to find out shortly after the wedding that marriage (or the person they chose in the first place) isn't really right for them I could go on with examples of how we have mixed feelings, unc
