I Must, Be Still And Know That He Is God!

Sunday, June 08, 2008

So Saturday came...mid morning I felt a bit better. And thanks to my SP friends I was even open to some insight, and I put a title back on my home page.

But as the evening went on...so did my inspiration & my light. It's Sunday morning and I am not starting off so well.

But I pulled some songs together on Windows Explorer to help me keep God's word in my head!

Thanks so much for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I'm having a crazy life transformation in my personal relationship, my body, my mind... I know that God is working in me and ... Well here are 2 songs (I AM GOD and I'm Gonna Be Ready) that can describe it a bit (although there are definately others).


***"I AM GOD" by Kirk Franklin adToby Mack***

(Kirk:) Toby Mac! (huh!) Turn it up!
(Toby:) Kirk, gonna get his white boy on!
(Kirk:) God, I know You up to something. (uhhh!)
I can see it all right now. (woo!) You pulling back my covers. It's getting crazy. (Come on!)

(Verse 1: Kirk)
Think I'm gonna walk away
You're messing up my life today (wassup)
This time I refuse to pray
Still you keep calling me (calling me)
I don't wanna see your face
The thing I love you erased (Come on!)
Nothing but an empty space
Now I don't know how to be
I know it wasn't right for me. (Yea!)
What you liking what you need.
I feel like I'm in surgery
Still you cut deeper

My secrets within
My blanket of sin
Lord how much longer 'till ya through with me
Please take what you need (Can I get up now!)

(Chorus:)
Be still and know I am God
Be still and know I am God

[Verse 2: (Toby Mac)]
Loving you Lord is my way
Everything you don't explain
Somethings I don't want to change
So you keep breaking me (There you go!)
It's like I'm fighting for my life (woo!)
You hit me with another light
I feel like Jacob in the night
Won't stop 'till you bless me

My flesh and my will (Yes father!)
Is yours not to kill (To kill!)
Bringing myself to you (Come on!)
But living sacrifice is more (Can I get up now)

(Chorus:)
Be still and know I am God (Gotta know Gotta know Gotta know Gotta know)
Be still and know (yea) I am God(Gotta know Gotta know One more time!)
Be still and know I am God (You are God! You are God! Gotta know! Gotta know!)
Be still (Be still) and know (and know) I am God (yea!!!)

(Bridge:)
If I could I'd fly away from here
But even when I'm far you still are near
I gotta get out (There's no way out)
Where is there to run( There's no where to run)
Don't go( Don't go)
Don't go (Can't go)
No! No! No! (Whoa!)

Kirk: You win. (uh huh!)
I've been trying to do it on my own. (Yes Lord!)
But right now I gotta surrender.
You know what's best. (Say it like you mean it!)
It's not easy waiting on you.
It's not easy believing that you got this together.
But without faith it is impossible to please you. (We recognize you!)
So I'm gonna stand right here. (We are still before you!)
You got me. (We are still before you!) You got me. You got me.

(Chorus:)
Be still and know (we know!) I am God (We gonna lift those hands. I surrender to your authority God! I surrender!)
Be still (we're still!) and know (we know!) I am God (I give you my will)(Gotta know! Gotta! know! Gotta know!)
Be still (I'm yours!) and know (we know!) (I'm yours!) I am God (I'm tired of living on my own! I'm tired of living on my own!)
Be still and know (we know!) I am God (You are God!)

Hallelujah!! Without God, I'm nothing.



***"I'm Gonna Be Ready" by Yolanda Adams***
I say a prayer every night, whatever I do, I'll get it right
With no regret, no guilt or shame this time, no not this time
Once I surrender, I won't dare look back, cause if I do, I'll get off track
Move ahead in faith, and patiently await your answer, what will it be

[Chorus:]
Sight beyond what I see
You know what's best for me
Prepare my mind, prepare my heart
For whatever comes, I'm gone' be ready

Strength to pass any test
I feel like I'm so blessed
With you in control, I can't go wrong
'Cause I always know, I'm gonna be ready

I was free to do, what I wanted to, lost everything, but I still had you
You showed me your grace, now my life's renewed and I thank you, yes.. I thank
You
So I'll tell anyone who'll listen, I'll testify
About how good you were to me, when so call friends passed me by
The fact that you would show somebody so broke down, so-much-merccccyyy...

[Chorus:]
Sight beyond what I see BEYOND WHAT I SEE
You know what's best I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR ME
Prepare my mind...PREPARE MY MIND AND PREPARE MY HEART
For whatever comes...FOR WHATEVER COMES I GONNA BE READY

Strength to pass any test GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO PASS ANY TEST
I feel like I'm so blessed I KNOW THAT I'M SO BLESSED
With you in control...YOUR IN CONTROL LORD, CAN'T GO WRONG NO
'Cause I always know...CAUSE I KNOW THAT I'M GONNA BE READY

So use me as you will, I'll pay the price
'Cause made the ultimate sacrifice
It's all because of you, that I even have life
And I'll give my love, as a tribute, to how great you are...

[Chorus:]
Sight beyond what I see BEYOND WHAT I SEE
You know what's best I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR ME OHH OOHH
Prepare my mind...PREPARE MY HEART AND PREPARE MY MIND
For whatever ...FOR WHATEVER COMES I GONNA BE READY YEAH YEAH YEAH

Strength to pass any test I WANNA PASS THIS TEST
I feel like...I KNOW THAT I AM, KNOW THAT I AM, KNOW THAT I'M SO BLESSED
With you in...YOUR IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE LORD, I CAN'T GO WRONG NO
'Cause I always know...AND I KNOW IT I'M GONNA BE I'M GONNA BE READY

I'm gonna be ready THIS TIME I'M GONNA BE
I'm gonna be ready CAUSE YOU LIVE DEEP INSIDE OF ME
I'm gonna be ready AND I KNOW IT'S IN YOUR WILL FOR ME TO BE READY
YEAH YEAH YEAH UUUHHHHH
I'M GONNA BE READY

When you're having a bad day PRAYER is the best way to go! You've got that right! A good night of sleep also helps. Saturday will be a better day for you. Look to the Lord as your Helper, Friend, Guide and Comforter with whatever is bothering you. Please write again on Sat. and let me know how you're doing. What can I be praying about for you?

Can't Go To Puerto Rico w/ The Family :o(

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

So my family is getting ready to go to Puerto Rico tomorrow for my niece's H.S. graduation. I say my family because I won't be able to go, for medical reasons. I do hope to be able to travel later when I'm healthier.

My heart is getting better since the CHF and today I came off of 1 medication and was able to cut one in half. Hopefully it will work. The last time the doctor cut something out, things started getting worst and I had to go back. Well, anyway I still have over 15 pills to take a day, but 1 down is still good!!!

So back to my niece, O'm trying to think of my health and keep in mind how much I love her and truely want to be there. So, I'll be praying wellness and congrats to her from California! I'm sure the rest of the family will have a good time! Oh and I also didn't make my weight loss goal either.

I'm so sorry to hear you can't go!! What a bummer. BUT! Congrats on geting off of one pill! One down, and a few more to go, right? Take it one step at a time, you'll get there!:-) Report Inappropriate Comment

I'm sorry that you could not go to your niece's graduation but glad that you're coming off some of your medicines!! Have you tolerated having your meds cut? Report Inappropriate Comment

MSPROVERBS31 5/26/2008 12:38PM

No this isn't me CUSTOM, she's my niece that graduated H.S. on Friday. YAY!!!! No she definately doesn't need to loose any weight, and thanks for the complement! The rest of the California Family came back Sunday, and they had a great quick trip to Puerto Rico! So I do hope to make a trip there in the healthy future! It was the healthiest decision to not go. So I just talked to everyone like everyday! Report Inappropriate Comment

CUSTOMBUILT55 5/26/2008 10:30AM

MSPROVERBS31 is that your picture in this BLOG? You are beautiful! Why are you trying to lose weight, when your arms look as small as my wrist? LOL! Look, you know all things good and bad come together for the good of man/woman kind! You will get a chance to go to Puerto at another time. Personally, I ain't trying to go nowhere I can't drive, because the airlines may get me stranded, the way they are cutting plane routes these days, so consider yourself blessed and safe, and just pray for a good, happy occasion and return for your niece and your family's return!

Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it to your neices graduation but for now I think it is important to take care of yourself. I'm sure she understands. I will keep you in my prayers for health. You have such a great attitude and I'm sure this will always be an asset. Get well and lot's of love sent to you from PUERTO RICO!! UN ABRAZO GRANDOTE PARA TI!!

Oh so what does FLY stand for "Finally Loving Yourself"!
I joined FlyLady some time last year, but didn't get past the 1st week. I recently joined two of the Flylady teams on SP. I'm hoping that this will help me get some things in order in my life other than just my body.

So I'm going to try to be a FLY baby and start a lil today. It's already evening time now and my sink is full of dishes on both sides. But I'll try to shine my sink tonight. I don't know if I'll get to the Zone stuff, but maybe I'll try to tackle under my bed...or the side of it tonight for 15 minutes. Even if I have to break it up! Or maybe I'll just do it tomorrow. They say to take baby steps so that I don't get overwhelmed, mush let SP does.

Extra Note: The bootcamp is going okay... but I'm sure that I'll have 500 minutes by the end of the month. For me, that's REALLY GREAT!

Hi MSPROVERBS!! See you are in FLYLADY. I had joined a while back but like the other member said with all the e-mails I just coudn't keep up. But I have learned and my sink in shiny and empty. CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR THE REST OF THE HOUSE!!! TAKE BABY STEPS. THAT WHAT I DO!! Most of all just have fun. Life is to important to miss out on it for cleaning. Wilma Report Inappropriate Comment

Just remember...you don't have to jump into it all at once...it's all about the babysteps... i have found with myself, that i just do what i can do... and read what others do..and then find myself motivated to do more....lol... so remember..even when you have your "off" times...don't give up... just take it one baby step at a time.

Hi, I joined Flybaby for awhile but had too many emails coming. That was before I started Spark and the flood of emails that SP brings. I must say that I would NOT WANT YOU TO SEE MY KITCHEN SINK TODAY! Report Inappropriate Comment

Hello My Sister, I've also been a FLY baby for a few years! The sink stays cleaned out even during the day with children. Now, everything else will come. But, I do like that I can do anything in just 15 minutes. Keep on Flying! Report Inappropriate Comment

FITTYTIFF 5/19/2008 11:49PM

I too am a fly Baby. Off and on. I have mostly kept the sink shined and some of my hot spots down to a slow burn. But I have struggled with zones. I wish you the best of luck. Remember baby step!!! Report Inappropriate Comment
