Worship Wednesdays - It's Not Over Yet

It's Not Over Yet! This song has spoken to me in ways I can't explain. It has reminded me that no matter what it's not over yet even when I feel defeated. The story behind this song that For King and Country wrote was for their sister who struggled with chronic Lyme disease. When I first heard this song I immediately fell in love with it. I could relate to the lyrics. You see I have chronic lymes as well and struggle everyday with the symptoms but you know what. I'm going to keep fighting because my life isn't over yet. I'm just getting started. Even if I have hit my limit. I'm not giving up or giving in. I hope this encourages you as it has me. 

They are inside your head
You got a voice that says
You won't get past this one
You won't win your freedom

It's like a constant war
And you want to settle that score
But you're bruised and beaten
And you feel defeated

This goes out to the heaviest heart

[Chorus:]
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over

Yea-et-et, whoa
Yea-et-et, whoa

Oh, game set match
It's time to put it in your past, oh
Feel the winter leavin'
It's redemption season
Long live the young at heart (Here we are)
Cheers to a brand new start (Here we are)
We're revived and breathing
To live a life of freedom

[Chorus:]
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over

Life is a race we run
So run till the race is won
Don't you ever give up (Here we are)
Oh no never give up (Here we are)
Life is a race we run
So run till the race is won
Don't you ever give up (Here we are)
We will never give up (Here we are)

[Chorus:]
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over

Yea-et-et, whoa
Yea-et-et, whoa
Yea-et-et, whoa
Yea-et-et, whoa

Meditation Mondays - Praying For You

As I have been studying and digger deeper into His Word this week I came across a verse. It got me thinking about my blog and you my readers. Did you know that I pray for you? Yes I do. I pray for your relationship with Jesus to grow stronger and I pray for protection over you as you go about your everyday life. Now I don't do this for my own personal gain. I do this because you are a child of the One True King and you are loved. One of the greatest things we can do is pray for each other. Now sometimes, things happen in life and we aren't sure what to say, what to do, but one thing we can do is pray. 

Blessings and Shalom, Grace Mae <3 <3 <3

Worship Wednesdays - Right Here With Me

Today's song is something brand new. I recently found this new christian band last week and just had to share this song with you. It is called Right Here with Me. The chorus has to be by far my favorite. Sometimes the road we are walking on is hard and we don't feel strong. We need God to be with us. Hope this song encourages you as it has me.

I’m just a man and nothing more
Than broken bones an empty core
Inside my soul with no hope and all alone
But I keep trying to hard
And I keep falling apart

But I know I’m not strong enough now to walk this road that I’m going down
So here I am praying for you to be, right next to me
I know I’m not strong enough here to go alone without you near
So here I am waiting for you to be, right here with me.

I’m just a boy with a broken heart
The decades pass but still I’m far
From ever being good enough
But I keep trying too hard, too hard

But I know I’m not strong enough now to walk this road that i’m going down
So here I am praying for you to be, right next to me
I know I’m not strong enough here to go alone without you near
So here I am waiting for you to be, right here with me

You’ll be right here, right here, with me
The road is long the waters deep
So here I am falling on my knees
You’ll be right here, right here, with me
Here I am, I give everything

But I know I’m not strong enough now to walk this road that i’m going down
So here I am praying for you to be, right next to me
I know I’m not strong enough here to go alone without you near
So here I am waiting for you to be, right here with me

Meditation Mondays - God's Word Equips You

Recently, I have been writing about how important it is to study and learn scripture. I also talked about my favorite method of study called SOAP. Well today I wanted to share about how The Bible is the word of God and how powerful it is.

-Faith and belief in His Word- Our level of faith is determined by our level of belief in His Word and how much of His Word we have in our heart. Faith comes from hearing and hearing produces believing.

I encourage you to equip yourselves with His Word. Dig deeper into it and learn from it.

If you need some help getting started I encourage you to check out my other posts on the SOAP method. I promise you that it is an easy and fun way to study Scripture. It only takes 10 minutes out of your day and it is totally worth it. Also check out my new page BIBLE STUDY RESOURCES for a free printable sheet I created for the SOAP method.

Remember The Power of the Word! God's Word Equips You!

Blessings and Shalom,

The Importance of Studying Scripture

I have shared about studying scripture before but thought it would be good to talk about it again. So much has changed in my life since I started blogging back in 2013. The importance of studying scripture has really been laid on my heart the past year. That is why I wanted to share with you. 

Study of Scripture is an important part in our daily walk with God. If we don't have God's Word in our hearts then we aren't fully equipped. It can be dangerous to live our lives from day to day not knowing what God expects and who He is.

I encourage you to set aside a time each day to dig into His Word and really focus on the scriptures. If we apply and master God's Word we will never lose our way. Just like you study before you take a test the same thing apply to His Word. 


Here are a few ways that you can make studying scripture fun and easy as well as rewarding. 

1. Get a notebook- I like having a notebook or journal that is designated to my quiet time. It doesn't have to be fancy. It can just be a spiral notebook or tablet. 

2. S.O.A.P - I've talked about this before but my favorite method for studying scripture is using this method. It helps me focus on the verses and how to apply it to my life. 

S - stands for Scripture. You take a scripture verse and write it out. I usually use the one from the Bible app or just one of my favorite verses.

O - stands for Observation. Write down how you would explain this verse to someone in your own words. What is God saying in the verse?

A - stands for Application. How does this verse apply to your life right now? What does this verse mean to you? Just write down in your own words how you can apply what you read to your own life.

P - stands for Prayer. It's important to pray. Pray to God and ask Him to help you understand and hear His Word. Write out your prayer for the day.

3. Study with a friend - Sometimes its easier if you have a friend study with you. It keeps you accountable. It is always more fun to grow in your faith and learn the scriptures when you do it with a friend. I have a few friends that help me stay focused and check in on me from time to time to see how I am doing with my studying. 

I hope these get you started and help you as you continue to grow deeper in your faith and learn the scriptures. If you have anything you want to share on this subject feel free to comment below. I'd love to hear your ideas on studying scriptures. 

Blessings and Shalom,
Grace Mae <3 <3 <3 

Worship Wednesdays - Deeper

This is an amazing song. I had the privilege of meeting Meredith Andrews at a Women's Conference back in November of 2015. She sang this song at the event. The first time I heard it I was going through a really rough time. Since then it has quickly become a favorite. Even though I've been kicked down, felt hurt I realized that God was making me stronger. His love was going deeper and deeper in my heart. I hope this encourages you today like it has encouraged me. Remember that no matter what is ahead of us God will make a way for us.

I have kicked up the dust and the dirt on the narrow road
I have had to let go of some hurt to hold on to hope
I’ve watched the sunset before the promise came
I have waded through waters wide and walked through the flame
And I can say

Every valley made me lift my eyes up
Every burden only made me stronger
Every sorrow only made Your joy go
Deeper and deeper, deeper, and deeper

I will run like I’m out to win, and finish the race
For every battle that’s sure to come I will be brave
I’ve got my heart set on every word You say
And no matter what lies ahead You’ll make a way
And I will say

Every valley made me lift my eyes up
Every burden only made me stronger
Every sorrow only made Your joy go
Deeper and deeper, deeper, and deeper

Every mountain is making me a climber
Every giant is calling out a fighter
Every heartache only makes Your love go
Deeper and deeper, deeper, and deeper

Thrown down but not defeated
I’m worn out but not giving up
I’ve hit ground but even at rock bottom
I’m just getting started, yea, I’m just getting started
