I Can Only Imagine

"I can only imagine when all I will do is forever worship You."  A great song by MercyMe.   But what a good movie they made based on his life story.  

With faith we can overcome so many obstacles.  I was raised in church, and I'm familiar with the love of Jesus, of his stories.  But there's a difference between knowing and truly feeling His love.

When I was at my lowest point after my son died, I figured that I would just "exist" from day to day for the rest of my days.  But then I started to get back to my church roots, and found Christian music again.  And I feel like I've found home, found some purpose, and have definitely found my joy!

If you're feeling lost, or feel like you're searching for something, just remember Jesus loves you!

I can only imagine.  Watch it on Netflix!  You won't regret it!  

I Thank God

He picked me up, He turned me around

He placed my feet on solid ground.

He healed my heart, He changed my name,

Forever free, I'm not the same

I thank the Master,  I thank the Savior

I thank God.

A chorus to a fantastic song that I've been listening to.  There are so many others that have also become favorites as well.  I have been listening to Family Life Radio and KLove for a month now, and I love it!

I have always been drawn to music, and was raised in the church, so its a natural fit.  For years, I sang in a church choir and truly enjoyed it.  I wasn't of a soloist quality by any means, but one of the soloists gave me a wonderful compliment. She said she liked watching me sing because my face showed my emotions.  Which is why I do NOT play poker.  lol

I've had many hardships in recent years.  Dad and sis died of cancer and my son committed suicide.  That was the hardest of all.  But I've been able to be ok with it  because of my faith.  

Someday, I will see them again and rejoice.  Until then, singing is a way for me to ... fight off the sadness and depression, to lift my voice in praise of Jesus.  There is a deep joy inside my soul when I sing along, and it helps me to know it is well.

There is wonderful praise music out there. Try listening and see if it doesn't lift your spirit!  I know it lifts mine.
