Meditation Mondays - God's Not Dead

Welcome back! Today I would like to ask you if you have ever run into anyone that claims God is Dead. I personally never have but I watched a trailer for a new movie that is coming out next spring 2014.

Colleges and some school professors believe that God doesn't exist when in reality He does. He is roaring like a lion.

So do you believe this?? Let me know in the comments whether you believe God is Dead or God is Alive.

Fun Friday - Song: Capturing the Moment

Welcome back to Fun Friday. Today I promised to share the lyrics to my Capturing the Moment song.

I dedicated and wrote this song after our pastor's wife's grandma went to be with the Lord last year. It is about needing to take time right now and tell the people you love how much they mean to you.

Capture every moment as we never know what life will bring. Enjoy the lyrics. Check out Modest Maniac on YouTube for a video of me singing the song. It is my friend Megan's channel.

CAPTURING THE MOMENT

Chorus:
We're gonna make it last

While we still have the chance

To tell you right now

How much we love you

We're capturing the moment

Verse 1: 

This life that we live

Is more then we can give

So wrapped up in this world

Pre-Chorus:

This is the time

For us to draw the line

Before it's too late

Verse 2:

So when you see someone you love

Take the time right now to say

Just what they mean to you

Ending:

We're capturing, oh we're capturing, the moment

Meditation Mondays - Fixing Our Eyes on God

Welcome back for another Meditation Mondays!!

Today I would like to talk about fixing our eyes on God. Sometimes it seems that we have everything planned out but then things change. God knows better and wants us to make our focus on Him and Him alone.

Francesca Battistellli tells us in her song Strangely Dim that when we fix our focus on God everything will grow strangely dim.

See y'all back here on Wednesday!! Love and Prayers, Grace Mae

Fun Fridays - SONG: Just Hang On

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the next Fun Friday. Today I have a song to share with you. It is one I wrote. The title is called Just Hang On. 

I am sure you have had days that you felt alone, scared to face the day but you hung on to God and with His strength He made you strong. 

Please let me know what you think of this song. 

Verse 1:
Have you ever felt alone
Have you ever lost your way
Have you ever been afraid 
To face another day
Well I know what you're going through
'Cause I have been there too

Chorus:
Just hang on for a little bit longer
Just hang on He's gonna make you stronger
If you hang on, just hang on, just hang on

Verse 2:
Sometimes I wanna give up
When I start another day
Sometimes I don't know why
Thought I had gone astray
But you tell me to lean on you
I couldn't do it without you

Chorus 2:
I just hung on for a little bit longer
I just hung on and He made me stronger
Just hung on, just hung on, just hung on

Bridge:
And even if the road may get tough
I know your strength is enough
To just hang on, hang on, I'm gonna hang on

Meditation Mondays - Tell Others About God

Meditation Mondays - What Does God Want?

Hello and welcome back. Thanks for joining me again. Today is a deep lesson so please if you aren't ready you can stop reading now. If you are ready let's continue.

I don't have a Bible Verse for you today. Instead we are going to just jump right in.

Lesson:           

Today's lesson is on What Does God Want? That is a hard question to ask. 

Us as humans want to do what we want, when we want it instead of waiting and asking God. I know I struggle with this everyday. It is that we need to let go and let God have control of the wheel. We need to let God take the lead because we can't do it on our own. We loose our way when we think we know better than God. We need to spend time with God and be still and listen for His voice. 

Now I am talking not just to you all but to myself too. I struggle with know what God wants me to do. Maybe you are at a point in your life that you are wondering Why am I here? What can I do? Please know that life is an adventure and God is our Guide and Teacher. He knows what is best for us and when the right time is even if we think it's not.            

So God, what do you want to do today?

Prayer: 

Dear Father, God, Thank you for allowing me to share today with your children. Help me and each and every one who reads this to learn to ask you what you want to do with our lives. Amen :-)

Before I go I wanted to share with you a song that talks about what I just shared. It is called Today by: New World Son. Hope you enjoy and God Bless :-) See y'all on Wed.
