As Long As You Are Glorified

Shall I take from Your hand Your blessings
Yet not welcome any pain
Shall I thank You for days of sunshine
Yet grumble in days of rain
Shall I love You in times of plenty
Then leave You in days of draught
Shall I trust when I reap a harvest
But when winter winds blow, then doubt

Oh let your will be done in me
In Your love I will abide
Oh I long for nothing else as long
As You are glorified

Are You good only when I prosper
And true only when I'm filled
Are You King only when I'm carefree
And God only when I'm well
You are good when I'm poor and needy
You are true when I'm parched and dry
You still reign in the deepest valley
You're still God in the darkest hour

So quiet my restless heart
Quiet my restless heart
Quiet my restless heart in You

Happy Birthday, Ambie!!

I love this girl and had the privilege of spending sweeet time with her on her birthday this year! It was such a sweet, sweet time! I am so forever thankful for my dear friendship with her! I have been blessed beyond measure to know her the last 3 years. I can't believe it has been that long--so awesome!!

She is a woman who loves the Lord and strives to live her life in loving service and submission unto Him. She is tender, teachable and so loving! She challenges me, encourages me and loves me so dearly. I don't deserve her friendship at all but am SO thankful to the Lord for the roles we play in each other's life. I can't imagine my life without her in it.

I love you, Mrs. Ambie Dennis!!
You are a sweetest delight to my soul!!

A Birthday Celebration!

16 years ago today, I was saved! It was at the age 13, in a little classroom at Rolling Hills Covenant Church that the Lord got a hold of my heart and changed my life forever! I am forever grateful for the incredible gift of salvation!

Praise be to God--who is worthy of every honor, glory and praise!! He is so incredible to me!
