More Beautiful YOU

Right now, I have a song in my head. This song speaks to women in every aspect of their lives me included.

I have battled depression in varying degrees over the past 10 years. It has never been so bad to where I was on medication for it but none the less it still hurts. Please Check this Video and lyrics out..






More Beautiful You LYRICS

Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn’t straight her body isn’t fake
And she’s always felt overweight

Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are

There could never be a more beautiful you
Don’t buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

Little girl twenty-one the things that you’ve already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you’ve got a man but he’s got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead

Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there’s a man whose love is true
And he’ll treat you like the jewel you are

So turn around you’re not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It’s not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who’s strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you’ll see through the eyes of a little girl

Ask your self this, who is praising Jesus just because you are? As we worship our light shines simply because we are praising Him. How often are our praises distracted by

Circumstances & Complaints

Selfishness & Suffering
Desires & Depression
Indifference & Insistence
or by simply anything at all?

When we allow "things" and or "thoughts" to interrupt our worship. The light gets dimmer and dimmer & we pulled down into a muddy miry mess that is us, guess what, We pull others down with us!!

He is enduringly strong.

He is entirely sincere.



He is eternally steadfast


He is immortally gracious




He is impartially merciful.



He is the captives ransom.




He stands in the solitude of Himself.




He is the key to Knowledge.



He is the wellspring of wisdom.



He is the Foundation of Faith.



He is the doorway to deliverance.



He is the Pathway to Peace.



He is the roadway to righteousness.



He is the gateway to glory.



He is the highway to happiness.

My Hearts Cry for ...

I am reading a book that I got from Pastor Keith, It is called, "My Hearts Cry" its written by Anne Graham Lotz, the Daughter of Billy Graham. This book is fabulous... I decided to place a few of the lists from the book on here as some inspriation for anyone who reads them.
He forgives and He forgets
He creates and He clenses
He restores and He Rebuilds
He heals and He helps
He reconciles and He redeems
He comforts and He carries
He Lifts and He loves...

He is the God of...
the second chance,
the fat chance
the slim chance
the no chance...

Keep on praising Him
He discharges debtors,
He delivers the captives
He defends the feeble
He serves the unfortunate
He regards the aged
He rewards the diligent
He beautifies the meek

AND KEEP ON PRAISING HIM
HE GUARDS THE YOUNG
HE SEEKS THE STRAY
HE FINDS THE LOST
HE GUIDES THE FAITHFUL
HE RIGHTS THE WRONGED
HE AVENGES THE ABUSED
HE DEFENDS THE WEAK
HE COMFORTS THE OPPRESSED
HE WELCOMES THE PRODIGAL
HE HEALS THE SICK
HE CLEANSED THE DIRTY
HE BEAUTIFIES THE BARREN
HE RESTORES THE FAILURE
HE BLESSES THE POOR
HE FILLS THE EMPTY
HE CLOTHES THE NAKED
HE SATISFIES THE HUNGRY
HE ELEVATES THE HUMBLE
HE FORGIVES THE SINNER
HE RAISE THE DEAD!!!!!!!

Entering in Worship

Walk in to any church on any given Sunday you will find Worship. What is worship to be exact. Worship I believe that worship is our extravagant, radical, emotional response to the extravagant, radical, emotional love and grace of God. (thanks Shaun for teaching me that).

Now that you have an idea of what worship is defined as, what is worship to you personally. For me it is singing as loud as my heart desires, my time to communicate with Abba Daddy, meet Him in that sacred place where it it Him and I dancing as one, like a daughter dancing on her dad's shoes at a wedding. No one can take that from me when I am in that place.

Believe me the enemy tries to cut in with his cunning deceptions of bringing the tasks of the day to you mind, but allowing the enemy to win accomplishes nothing for you and will allow him to gain a much stronger foot hold than he had initially. Allow your grip on "Daddy's" hand to be solid. with your feet upon his and looking into His face. He is all you see. Who cares who is watching.

Look at Matt Redman’s Lyrics to Undignified

I will dance I will sing to be mad for my king
nothing lord is hindering the passion in my soul
I will dance I will sing to be mad for my king
nothing lord is hindering the passion in my soul

and ill become even more undignified than this
(some would say its foolishness but)
ill become even more undignified than this

I will dance I will sing to be mad for my king
nothing lord is hindering the passion in my soul
I will dance I will sing to be mad for my king

Nothing lord is hindering the passion in my soul

Lyrics and Life

All Because Of Jesus lyrics

Giver of every breath I breathe
Author of all eternity
Giver of every perfect thing
To You be the glory
Maker of Heaven and of Earth
No one can comprehend Your worth
King over all the universe
To You be the glory

And I am alive because I'm alive in You

It's all because of Jesus I'm alive
It's all because the blood of Jesus Christ
That covers me and raised this dead man's life
It's all because of Jesus I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
The Truth behind my life... it is because of Him I am still ALIVE!!!!!!!


Stained Glass Masquerade

Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong

So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too
So with a painted grin, I play the part again
So everyone will see me the way that I see them

Chorus:
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone who's been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage

But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

THIS SONG SPEAKS VOLUMES...
LET US NOT SETTLE FOR WHAT WE THINK WE NEED...
LET DADDY BE THE ONLY ONE!!!!!

Who I am

In life we are lit by the events and things we experience in the physical, mental, and supernatural (spirit). It is all of these that make me but what defines me. Out of everything I have experienced what truly defines me?

In the past and for most of present I have allowed others to tell me; who, what, where, when, and how to be. These are just superficial scratches as to the insight of me. Under all that people have told me still lies the question of Who I am ?

After high school the schooling I needed could not be found in a college lab or university textbook. The education I needed was to be found in life and its experiences! Even then a lack of Self Esteem on my behalf led me down a destructive path, but I was too lost to realize it.
The path started out innocent and easy, there where familiar people along the start of the path giving advice that a novice journeyer would think beneficial. I welcomed that advice for a while and it even seemed to work. After many miles, the people were gone but the only voices I heard were theirs. What happened to my voice what happened to me.
