God is Mighty to Save

I just think it is so refreshing to know that there is a God out there who cares. He cares about the old, the newborn, the sick, the healthy, the rich, the poor, you and me!!!

Last Thursday my god-daughter Miss Addison Grace Parks was born. She is my best friend from high school, Kristen's daughter. She is the most beautiful thing in the world.

I love her so much and I have not even met her.

She came to us about 3 weeks early and has been in the NICU since she was born. I am praying for her daily, that Kristen and Devin would get to take her home soon and their family can start their life together!!

I am not an emotional person but as we started to sing a song, I don't even remember what song it was haha. I just started thinking about Addison during this song and just the fact that she might not grow up to know the loving Father that we have in God. I am praying that she will grow up in a home that loves Jesus but I know that her mommy and daddy will have to make that decision.

Well thinking about this just really broke my heart and I started bawling right there in the middle of the song. I just want Addison and the whole family to know that God loves each of them for who they are.

What is cool about this is that a few of the other songs that played that night were about God's love, grace and saving hand. I was reminded once I heard those songs that the family's salvation is not lost. I will continue to pray for them and now just adding Addison to that prayer, God is good, I know He is working.

This song has so much power to it and I wanted to share it!!

Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations

(Chorus)
Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of Salvation
He rose & conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me
All my fears & failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender (I surrender)

 

(Chorus 2x)
Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of Salvation
He rose & conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

(Bridge 2x)
Shine Your light &
Let the whole world see
We're singing
For the glory
Of the risen King
Jesus

(Chorus)
You're the Savior
You can move the mountains
Lord You are mighty to save
You are mighty to saveForever
Author of Salvation
You rose & conquered the grave
Yes You conquered the grave

(Bridge)

If you know anyone who is far from God never give up praying for them, you never know how God is going to work in their life. He works everything out in His timing!!

It's About Time

Well Hello All,
This is a wonderful Sunday morning, isn't it?

I have been wanting to start a blog for about a year now but just didn't have the courage. I always thought: "I don't really have anything to say that is worth posting for "the whole world" to see." But just a few days ago my friend Bethany told me that she had started her own blog and that was just the push I needed to get this off the ground. I don't know who is going to read what I have to say but here I am!!

God is good, and I am excited to share my journey with others.

I just finished the first week of my 4th year at OU, and man it is going to be a busy semester that is for sure. I became a godmother to Addison Grace Parks on August 25th (pictures to come), one of my best friends/roommate got engaged, I am working AND I am trying to get through college in the next year and a half. Although I am excited to be doing what I love doing and learning about how to help others through water resources!! 

I know the only way I am going to make it through this year is with prayer and trusting in Christ.
