Lately I have been struggling with many things. It is so true that music can soothe the savage beast and it is inspiring. I have been listening to Casting Crowns and the Album "the Altar to the Door" has the title Song "Slow"Fade" and Mark Hall the leadsinger and a Youth Pastor, has a teaching video, which may have inspired the song "Slow Fade" stemmed from the bible passage Psalm 1:1-2. After listening to the video I understood the biblt passage that the Lord laid on my heart the beginning of the New Year 2010 and could see what he saw in the passage The man walking, then standing, then sitting slowly shutting down. The 5 W's Who? What? When? Where? Why? "People never crumble in a day." It's a slow fade.
This week I came across another song from a movie titled "Letters to God" and a song titled "Dear Mr. God." Lately I have forgotten how to pray and I've wanted to give in, and God reminds me that he is there and will always be there. He never gives us more then we can handle. I thank God for his Love, and breathing life into his word, Ps 121.
I am looking forward to checking out the movie. Listening to music especially when the words are so heartfelt, moving and inspiring.

Guarding My Time
Lately I have not been to church and its because of my laziness, I have no excuses. I'm sitting here thinking about my previous blog and the truth of Psalms 1:1-2 and I see the, Slow Fade of a person, and yet it does not happen over night it is a slow process, when we compromise, after compromise.
What kind of counsel are we seeking, who's counsel do we seek. There is much on my mind am I really guarding my time with God am I really hearing his voice or am I listening to self. I understand why those 3 Bible passages were place on my heart the beginning of the year. Its a reminder, my dependence is on God, my faith is believing Jesus.
I need to seek his counsel. Thank God For those reminders, for without his love and those reminders I would crumble. Slow Fade is a song that will stay on my mind, its teaching video will remain on my heart, as the song say People never crumble in a day, its a Slow Fade.When we allow ourselves to be compromised.
Satan comes to kill steal and destroy, he know what buttons to push. Even in my life my own marriage failed because I allowed myself to be compromise, I knew God and had a passion for him yet compromise after compromise, my marriage spiraled out of ontrolled that my children suffered. Yet God was faithfull he took cae of my children.
Eph 6:12 (KJV)
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Matt 6:33 (KJV)
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
The things added, Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Faith, Love, Mercy, Peace
Life as a christian is never all roses but it is sufficient for when we are weak, God gives us Strength, for even when we are poor, With God we are rich. Thank God for the constant reminders.

Slow Fade
After Listening to the teaching video on the song Slow Fade, the lesson is so true it spoke to my heart.
It reminded me of the passage that the Lord had place in my heart the beginning of the year, Jan. 1,2010
Psalms 1:1-2 (KJV )1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
This Song; Slow Fade really spoke to my heart. Here is a small part of the song.
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day
Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
Thank You Lord!

Blinded
Is it difficult living a christian life, do we thank God for his never fading, never ending LOVE, GRACE and MERCY. Jesus will always be there when we need him, his love is unconditional.
Listening to this song reminded me, are we so blind as christian that we do not see others who are struggling and need help, are we so busy to not see those who need help. Do we not see them or do we not care because we are so closed mind, have we forgotten where we were before we got closer to God and changed our lives. Jesus die on the cross for everyone, and he is never to busy to see the things that go on with those he love. Jesus Loves You?

Sometimes Do We need Jesus To take Control?
Do we sometimes feel that we need Jesus to take Control.
It's been a time of struggling with alot of thing and yes even my faith, yet God never fails he's always there, to remind us of how much he loves us.
This Song Spoke to my heart. Like many others
As Christian do we let the world consume us that we lose control?
Do we forget our first Love (Jesus)?
Do we lose faith?
Let Jesus Take control
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Sometimes much that consumes our minds weighs heavy and we need to lighten the load, for we can't do it by ourselves, we need to let Jesus take that Wheel.
Thank You Lord for the many reminders

Tsunami! What thought cross your Mind?
On February 27, 2010 was awaken by my sister about a Tsunami Alert. 6,000 miles away in Concepcion, Chile their had been an Earthquake 8.8 Magnitude. It had causes much devastation, yet the death toll was minimal, unlike Haiti.
It caused an alert that trigger a Tsunami warning for the whole Pacific Basin.
The thought that crossed my mind was to watch and be in prayer. The Book of Revelation also cross my mind. God is Good all the time. All the time God is Good. I am grateful for another day and the many blessings.

The thought that cross my mind!
Today after reading something that had been post on facebook
In difficult times ahead
Posted by Anneline Strauss- Stein at 7:50am How many of you woke up today with the feeling that it would have been best if you just didn’t wake up? That is a very scary thought, but sad to say so many people feel that way. We have dreams and plans for the future, things we want to do and achieve and every day we wake up and just another day has gone past and nothing has happened. We think to ourselves that by the look of things it will never change, and its best we just give up. We pray and pray but nothing seems to happen, nothing seems to get better. We wonder if our finances will get better, we pray that our marriages don’t fall apart, we pray for that dream job, but nothing happens. So we think that prayer doesn’t work and we stop.
My dear friends I don’t have answers to when things will get better or how it will get better, but I want to encourage you to not give up. Anyone can give up that is the easy part; the challenge is to not give up. You may say that is not so easy and I do agree, it’s hart work to stay focused and positive. But who says we need to do it on our own? We forget that we have a Father that is full of mercy, love and grace. We only need Him in our lives. He made a promise to us and you just need to remember it, for has said in His word:
Deu 4:31 For the LORD your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.
God loves you and that is something satan can never take away from us. The thing I would like to ask from you today is to never stop hoping or lose your faith. You might thing things don’t look good right now and it will never get better, but the fact is you don’t know, you can’t see the future only God knows what is in front of us. That is why it’s so important to trust God and believe He will bring good unto us. God wants what’s best for you, He is your Creator, and all He wants from you is believing in Him and trust that He will do the best for you.
Lets not give the enemy what he wants, our faith in God. Without faith and hope we have nothing and are we totally lost.
Be strong my friends, things will get better. I don’t know when but trust in God
I have learned that God always knew what was best for me, its the choice I make that determine the outcome. I have learned that everthing has a consequence whether it be good or bad. God alwqys knew what was best for me no matter what.
