We started our married life together to celebrate it symbolic on an boat to sail away together through life
And today we can say The Lord is our "captain and guide"......through this life together. He has blessed us with eachother
And we gave an promise to eachother and got more promises along those years from Him, some are:
My grace is sufficient for you. 2 Corinthians 12:9
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
“For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Always loved this song and how Nicole C. Mullen sings it but this s week i heard her singing it for the 1st time in Spanish
Redentor
¿Quién le enseñó al sol su lugar?
Y al mar hasta donde llegar
¿Quién le mostró esconder hasta la noche la luna?
¿Y con palabras puede frenar, le estrella fugar?
Yo sé que vive mi Redentor
Yo sé que vive mi Redentor
La creación declara
La vida en mi proclama
Yo sé que vive mi Redentor
El mismo Dios que gira en órbita al mundo
Corre al cansado, al debil y al acabado
y esas manos tan tiernas
Que sostienen mi alma
Conquistaron la muerte a traerme Victoria
Yo sé que vive mi Redentor
Yo sé que vive mi Redentor
La creación declara
La vida en mi proclama
Yo sé que mi Redentor – Vive
A quitarme la verguenza
Vive – por siempre, proclamaré
Que el pago por mis pecados
Fue su vida que el dio
Pero ahora vive y la tumba está vacía
Yo se que mi Redentor Vive!
Gracias Señor
Gracias Jesus
El vive
Mi Redentor Vive!
Yo se que, yo se que, yo se que
Mi Redentor vive!
La tumba esta vacias!
El vive, El vive
Hable con El HOY dia!
El vive, El vive
Yo se, yo se
VIVE!----------------
Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
and Who told the ocean you can only come this far?
and Who showed the moon where to hide 'til evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?
......Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives:
Let all creations testify
Let this, life within me cry
I know my Redeemer lives, yeah.
The very same God that spins things in orbit
runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory
Now I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creations testify
Let this life within we cry
I know my Redeemer, He lives
To take away my shame
And He lives forever, I'll proclaim
That the payment for my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He's alive and
There's an empty grave.
And I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creations testify
Let this life within me cry
I know my Redeemer,
I know my Redeemer
I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
I know that I know that I know that I know that I know my redeemer lives
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
I Know I know
He lives He lives yeah, yeah I spoke with him this morning
He lives He lives, the tomb is empty,
He lives I gotta tell everybody
34 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the LORD,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the LORD.
“For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.”
35 This is what the LORD says,
he who appoints the sun
to shine by day,
who decrees the moon and stars
to shine by night,
who stirs up the sea
so that its waves roar—
the LORD Almighty is his name: 36 “Only if these decrees vanish from my sight,”
declares the LORD,
“will Israel ever cease
being a nation before me.”

Are you also?
================================================
The rest of this week will not much blogging going on
When things get tough, always remember...faith doesn’t get you around trouble, it gets you through it. There is one thing that God can’t do and that’s fail. Have faith because you are justified for it. As the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther Kings, Jr. said,“Faith is taking that first step when you don’t see the staircase.”
The last days i can't stop thinking about the hardships people of Japan are facing since the tragedies of the earthquake and the Tsunami afterwards.....
Things are ARE AND GETTING VERY TOUGH.....for them....!!
Made me PRAY for them there country and there leaders and all the people who are trying to help them and bring relieve........
They need FAITH .....they need JESUS...who knows what suffering is...who knows to heal and mend hearts....who can give HOPE amids of tragedy for THIS LIFE and for ETERNITY! They need to be surrounded and lifted by GOD'S LOVE to GET them TROUGH!
The same prayer i pray for eachone of my readers today and for myself thath FAITH will get us trough EVERYTHING...AmenAmen!
Let's praise His HOLY Name today and everyday because HE IS LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, WORTHY IS THE LAMB WHO WAS SLAIN
"We are a moment HE IS forever We are a vapor HE IS eternal"
So true from an Dutch Praise song.
Wij zijn als adem, U was er altijd,
Heer van de eeuwen, God van de tijd.
Wij zijn hier even, U bent voor eeuwig
Heersend met liefde en majesteit.
Heilig, heilig, Heer God almachtig,
Waardig is het bloed van het Lam.
Hoogste Heer, aanbidding en glorie
Voor Uw grote naam, voor Uw grote naam.
Wij zijn gebroken, U bent de Maker,
Jezus, Verlosser, die ons bevrijdt.
U bent ons lied, Heer, wij zullen zingen.
Juichen voor eeuwig in heerlijkheid.
Translation: We are a moment You are forever Lord of the ages God before time We are a vapor You are eternal Love everlasting reigning on high
Holy holy Lord God Almighty Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain Highest praises honor and glory Be unto Your name Be unto Your name
We are the broken You are the healer Jesus Redeemer mighty to save You are the love song we'll sing forever Bowing before You blessing Your name
It's simple, just share a scene, song or scripture (any combination) and keep it simple! Then visit the others that have linked up anytime during the week after being STILL on Sunday and worshiping the Son. The point is to do this and leave Sunday for God. You do not have to put the button or mention SUPER SUNDAY, but it does make it easier to find you...
They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.” ~ Psalm 112:7-8NLT
If you have any prayer requests, please leave them in the comment section here or at Angela our host for this special day of prayer every week, and KNOW that you will be prayed for.
12 But there's also this, it's not too late— God's personal Message!— "Come back to me and really mean it! Come fasting and weeping, sorry for your sins!" 13-14Change your life, not just your clothes. Come back to God, your God. And here's why: God is kind and merciful. He takes a deep breath, puts up with a lot, This most patient God, extravagant in love, always ready to cancel catastrophe. Who knows? Maybe he'll do it now, maybe he'll turn around and show pity. Maybe, when all's said and done, there'll be blessings full and robust for your God!
1Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you. 2-3I am emphatic about this. The moment any one of you submits to circumcision or any other rule-keeping system, at that same moment Christ's hard-won gift of freedom is squandered. I repeat my warning: The person who accepts the ways of circumcision trades all the advantages of the free life in Christ for the obligations of the slave life of the law. 4-6I suspect you would never intend this, but this is what happens. When you attempt to live by your own religious plans and projects, you are cut off from Christ, you fall out of grace. Meanwhile we expectantly wait for a satisfying relationship with the Spirit. For in Christ, neither our most conscientious religion nor disregard of religion amounts to anything. What matters is something far more interior: faith expressed in love. 7-10You were running superbly! Who cut in on you, deflecting you from the true course of obedience? This detour doesn't come from the One who called you into the race in the first place. And please don't toss this off as insignificant. It only takes a minute amount of yeast, you know, to permeate an entire loaf of bread. Deep down, the Master has given me confidence that you will not defect. But the one who is upsetting you, whoever he is, will bear the divine judgment. 11-12As for the rumor that I continue to preach the ways of circumcision (as I did in those pre-Damascus Road days), that is absurd. Why would I still be persecuted, then? If I were preaching that old message, no one would be offended if I mentioned the Cross now and then—it would be so watered-down it wouldn't matter one way or the other. Why don't these agitators, obsessive as they are about circumcision, go all the way and castrate themselves! 13-15It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don't use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that's how freedom grows. For everything we know about God's Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That's an act of true freedom. If you bite and ravage each other, watch out—in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then? 16-18My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God's Spirit. Then you won't feed the compulsions of selfishness. For there is a root of sinful self-interest in us that is at odds with a free spirit, just as the free spirit is incompatible with selfishness. These two ways of life are antithetical, so that you cannot live at times one way and at times another way according to how you feel on any given day. Why don't you choose to be led by the Spirit and so escape the erratic compulsions of a law-dominated existence? 19-21It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time: repetitive, loveless, cheap sex; a stinking accumulation of mental and emotional garbage; frenzied and joyless grabs for happiness; trinket gods; magic-show religion; paranoid loneliness; cutthroat competition; all-consuming-yet-never-satisfied wants; a brutal temper; an impotence to love or be loved; divided homes and divided lives; small-minded and lopsided pursuits; the vicious habit of depersonalizing everyone into a rival; uncontrolled and uncontrollable addictions; ugly parodies of community. I could go on. This isn't the first time I have warned you, you know. If you use your freedom this way, you will not inherit God's kingdom. 22-23But what happens when we live God's way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely. 23-24Legalism is helpless in bringing this about; it only gets in the way. Among those who belong to Christ, everything connected with getting our own way and mindlessly responding to what everyone else calls necessities is killed off for good—crucified. 25-26Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives. That means we will not compare ourselves with each other as if one of us were better and another worse. We have far more interesting things to do with our lives. Each of us is an original.
Today we set aside to pray with eachother over at "FreeSpiritHaven Your prayer request can be posted overhere in the comments or over at our host Angela...We feel so honoured to pray for and with you.
Was thinking what to blog about on this day and stumble on an blog "PRAYERGUIDE" about praying so love to post parts of it here and pray today those prayers with you
"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us, we are sinners".
The Jesus Prayer
The Jesus prayer is a very short, very simple prayer. Yet it can be a key to unlocking a spiritual doorway that leads us to pray from the heart, rather than from the mind.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
The words of the Jesus prayer fall into two halves. The first half expresses the core truth of our faith in Jesus Christ, that he is the incarnate Son of the Creator God, and that we ascribe to Him Lordship of ourselves. The second half sums up the wonder of God's love, that though we are sinners, yet He has mercy upon us and forgives us. The twelve words the prayer leads us into a balanced expression of both praise and thanksgiving to our Lord, yet also into penitence and confession, seeking his forgiveness and mercy.
Pointers for Prayer :
As you pray the prayer, simply recite it over and over again, and you will discover three levels of prayer, first described by the 19th C. Russian spiritual teacher, Theophan. The prayer begins as words, then as we recite it further, we move onto pray the prayer as our own, owning the thoughts and expression of the prayer. Finally, our hearts take over the prayer, where the prayer is no longer a series of words and concepts, but gives way to a touching of our Spirit with God's Spirit.
The Lord's Prayer
The Lord's Prayer is the model of prayer that Jesus taught us, as recorded in the gospels of Matthew and Luke It is presented here in traditional and modern language:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours.
Now and for ever. Amen
Sometimes it can be difficult to know how to pray about our concerns. But our Father God wants to hear about them - Paul writes to the Ephesians "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints." In this section, we offer some thoughts on how to pray for various different topics :
Pointers for Prayer : If you have particular needs for prayer, you might like to ask others to pray for you in these concerns. Whilst it's good to be able to ask God for these needs, it's also good to be able to share them with other Christians who can pray for you. There are several good online opportunities to put forward such needs, and we have links to four of them.
Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
Psalm 62 (MSG)
1-2 God, the one and only— I'll wait( remember my "year word)as long as he says. Everything I need comes from him,
so why not? He's solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul,
An impregnable castle:
I'm set for life.
16 I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light before them
and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake them.

And all was and is God
I can only say
"How Great Thou ARE"
Because the song stayed in my mind after fridays up-load an rendition of this song by "NEWSONG" from there album RESCUE.

And don't forget tomorrow we can join also with songs in praising our Lord
O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul! my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul! my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul! my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul! my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
And come back here for my "Super/Simple Sunday" post!
Feel free to leave an message that you came over !
QUOTE from LYSA TERKEUST!!(from " A MESS") I'm convinced there's a reason the first four letters of Messiah spell mess. We need Him. Only the Messiah can take our mess and turn it into a untangled message of hope, forgiveness, and ultimately love.
