There is one last thing I must address today, July 3. Over the last several months, I have struggled with God's will for me. I have believed the world's lies that I 'deserve' better and should 'be happy.' I know that God wants happiness for me; but not in anything that is of this world. I am to find my happiness, contentment, security, desires, and faith in Him. I am learning to do that more, with the help of Godly women in my life, an amazing church family, and a renewed desire (one that I asked God specifically for) to honor God and the grace which Jesus' blood offers. Other than my quiet times with the Lord, I find myself ignited by the lyrics of many songs in the christian contemporary arena. I think so often, many of us make 'value judgements' on our sin in comparison to others. The greatest thing I have learned about grace is that Christ died on the cross knowing that you and I would deny him (in our actions or speech); that murder, lies, gossip, hatred, stealing, omission, unfaithfulness, jealously, anger, spite, etc. would separate us from His holiness. But, Jesus knew that the cross redeemed us all..even before we needed it. Well today, I need it and I know that I must receive it and believe in it. I do, and I do!
All that to say.. please check out Ronnie Freeman's new CD God Speaking. It is an amazing mix of words and music that I believe can/do apply to almost every and any situation that a Christian finds themself immersed in. You can check his website out at:

BREAKAWAY
Do whatever it takes, whatever you need
to make a change
to see a new day
Leave it all behind, every lie and substitute
for peace and love
These things you long for more of
Get desperate, get hungry
Get tired of, get angry
and BREAKAWAY, BREAKAWAY
say goodbye to yesterday
swing the hammer, crush the chains
and BREAKAWAY
That's why He came, wore the crown, took the pain
All to pay the price for freedom
So we could have life, real life, real hope, for the future
Not just now but forever
So get desperate, get hungry
Get tired of, get angry, yeah - and
and BREAKAWAY, BREAKAWAY
say goodbye to yesterday
swing the hammer, crush the chains
and BREAKAWAY
Tired of the same thing
Tired of the same game
Tired of the drab and the mundane
Tired of needless pain and the selfish gain
Tired of insane
Tired of the shame, having it my way
Ready for change, ready to sing
Dance in the rain, I have a new name
I have been washed clean
LOVE THE LIGHT
I met a man who lost it all
Ten years ago, just like the fall
He gave in and did it his way
Traded his peace for shadows and shame
Now ten years later, with scars to bare
He’s climbing back out of his pit of despair
It is no trouble for him to see
His need for a savior, His need for mercy – cause
He loves the light, he's not ashamed
There's nothing to hide, everything's changed
Voices still call him back to the night
But he's standing strong now
Cause he loves, he loves the light.
He’s learning to dance, learning to sing
He’s seeing colors he’s never seen
You won’t hear deny who he used to be
He’s an open book for the world to read
He loves the light, he's not ashamed
There's nothing to hide, everything's changed
Voices still call him back to the night
But he's standing strong now
Cause he loves, he loves the light.
