I'm sitting here listening to my profile song play list and the song Moving Forward is on and it really comforts my spirit to know that God will make all things new for me If I follow Him forward....Here are the lyrics so you get a better idea as to why this blog comforts me…
Moving Forward
By: Free Chapel
I'm not going back
I'm moving ahead
I'm here to declare
Surrender my life to Christ
I'm moving moving forward
What a moment
You have brought me to
Such a freedom
I have found in You, what a healer
You make all things new
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You have risen
With all power in Your Hands
You have given me
A second chance, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You make all things new
You make all things new
I will follow You forward
Which is confirmation that I am indeed taking the steps to do just that....I had a great blog all typed out this morning before work and when I went to hit preview it disappeared....so I am back at square one with blogging for the day....I have so much on my mind that I can't even begin to find a place to reveal it to you my readers so I won't try....but what I will reveal is that I am more confident than ever that this move that will soon be taking place in my life is God. I drove to work today and began looking around as I drove and realized that it is time for me to leave and plant my family (me and Ami) in a place where we will grow, develop and be used by God. I can't allow myself to be held back any longer....and if I stay here I will be.....I recently am reminded of a prophecy that was released over me that I was indeed moving forward and that the enemy is trying to convince me that I am taking steps backwards but those are lies...I am indeed moving forward...so I have to believe that this desire to move and relocate my family is indeed the next step in moving forward into what God has for me.....I made some phone calls today to start the process for looking into housing for me and Amariah...I will have the information and applications with-in the upcoming week in my hands. I also have started looking online for childcare and schooling options for the two of us. In some ways this is scary and fear could cause me to become paralyzed but I refuse to allow fear to grip me when I have so much confidence and trust in God!
It was prophesied over me last year that 2009 would be my year and so far I haven't made any great strides. Sure there have been some acceleration forward but nothing dramatic like I know God has for me...I also know that its the 9th month in the year and that means only 3 more and the year will be over, so I have to activate this prophecy and allow myself to be positioned so that the prophecy can and will be fulfilled!
I was sitting here early this morning blogging and my mind began to recount the time when I worked for Foot Locker and I had a manager who was considering making a drastic move from Michigan to California and I remember him being in the stock room one day with a map looking at the distance between Michigan and California and I recall a short yet powerful conversation we had that day as I came in the stock room to get a pair of shoes for a customer.....I recall making the comment "Ya know, no matter how far you go you can't run from God. He loves you and He will won't let you run." My boss looked at me as if he'd seen a ghost and replied "what makes you think I am running?" I simply replied "You can fool me if you want, but God knows all and you can't fool Him." and I turned around and left to attend to the customer. As I was reminded of this I began to think of a friend of mine who recently moved and can't help but wonder if both this friend and my boss might have been attempting the same thing...Running from God instead of towards Him. So you can see why I am so willing to seek God fully on this move; what may appear to be a God thing could be nothing but a good thing when the God thing is just a few more steps to be walked out where I am right now....
My baby just came home....I haven't seen her in a few days...she decided at age 4 to go have a sleep over with granny and granny nanny and not come home until today. lol she just walked in the door and did she have many stories to tell me....lol I missed her these last few days. She's trying to snuggle me while I am typing this blog...so perhaps I should get off here and return when I can blog with fewer distractions…
Okay so I am back and decided to share something that I wrote a while back with you my lovely readers.
Untitled
It’s in the valley I know you have my back,
It’s on the mountain top where you reveal yourself to me,
It’s in the midnight hour I hear you calling,
It’s in the day when I see you moving,
It’s everyday when I long to be,
In your embrace....
oh....oh....oh......
Your so amazing to me,
How you never change....
Even as the seasons come and go,
You remain oh you remain the same......
That’s why I call you my amazing love,
oh...oh.....oh.....my amazing love,
how you sweep me off my feet,
dry my tears that drip down my cheek,
bring a smile to my heart in the darkest hour,
Forever I’m amazed at your grace.....
oh...oh....oh....
Amazing Grace, oh how sweet the sound,
when I think of how you saved me,
I was a wretch,
oh a mess,
without you,
but then you came and cleansed me....
turned my life around......with your amazing grace.
and that is why I’ll sing of my love for you,
oh...oh....oh...oh.......
Cuz your a God who is always near,
always loving,
never willing to give up,
So let it be known,
You are faithful til the end.....
Jehovah you are The great I am....
and that is why I sing....my song!
Cuz when I stumble and fall,
you make it to where I can fly,
broken I come,
Healed I leave,
when with you.....
oh...oh...oh....
When others have left me in the dark,
You bring the light to lead the way,
I’m so in love with you,
that is why I sing,
though its not a song you require,
I bring you so much more....
but I start with my song....
Cuz your so amazing my love!
I love writing love songs to God! He is the one person I can count on that will never fail me!
I started this blog hours ago and am just now finishing it.....
*CHOW*
