Its Only Werds...

From Nicole Nordeman Album: Woven & Spun

"Holy"

How many roads did I travel before I walked down one that led me to You?
How many dreams did unravel before I believed in a hope that was true?
How Long? How far?
What was meant to fulfill only emptied me still
And all you ever wanted...

Only me on my knees
Singing 'Holy, Holy!'
And somehow all that matters now is
You are Holy, Holy

How many deaths did I die before I was awakened to new life again?
How many half-truths did I bear witness to, til the proof was disproved in the end?
How long? How far?
What was meant to illuminate, shadowed me still
And all you ever wanted...

Only me on my knees
Singing 'Holy, Holy!'
And somehow all that matters now is
You are Holy, Holy

And all I have is gratitude to offer you.

\o/

~thanks, Nicole.

Ok, so I've not finished "Let Us Pray, Part II - ?" but I have to give you this: (it is a ".jpg" [picture] file that you should be able to save and print. See information under the picture file after you click "more".) hee hee! this is COOL!

Ok, so here we go. This is Part I of the post I mentioned a few posts ago -- that thing I felt on my heart to share but was hesitant because of concerns blah blah blah....forgetaboutit. He said share, I share. 

 (More)

First, I thank God for the message that helps me grow. Second, I thank God for friends in this blog community that share life experiences as believers, using the message as our guide. This post is dedicated to a post put up by one of you. Thanks, Brother Farley, for the jump-start!

Let me help you get dressed in the morning. (More)

a few words before i begin to share the things that have been on my heart...

 i'm exhausted.

i've graduated one from college; one from high school (not my child, but did all the things a mom does to help there); been to a courthouse wedding; finished my third quarter of school but studying for an entrance exam now; dived into an intense summer class; start a second job tonight (with wailing and gnashing of teeth); have been asked to lead a 'freedom to worship' session at a women's conference; am seeing my baby (ok, so he's 22 years old! he's still MY BABY!!!) off to the USAirForce come tuesday.

oh, help!! i say that half-heartedly, except for the part about school and the second job.

i have words to say -- stay tuned.

(i am so anxious to return to writing and sharing -- HE has given me even more things in my heart in the last few weeks, but i HAVE to finish this quarter -- two online finals to go -- BY Thursday night at 11!!! and ONE is over an entire anatomy / physiology class!!! that being said, i was delighted when my son called me last night. he shared something i thought was profound and i encouraged him to write it while it was passionate on his heart...and he did....and i share that...my son writes in my stead...praise GOD!)

 Here's what he said... 

p.s. the adorable picture is just a bonus ;)

p.s. alsotoo -- Thank you, Cindy (cndgsnr) -- last night when i hastened to post this, i asked joe if i could do so...his reply, "that's why i wrote it." they are His words, we are but vessels...share away and may some heart be uplifted! \o/ loree

i have alot to say just now, but isn't that how it works? i am BURIED in the last week of school -- trying to make a decent grade so i can switch schools and be accepted into the nursing program, which should be an historic event at this point -- but i digress. i promise as soon as i post my final draft of my 12-page research paper for ENG112 and take my third and final exam in anatomy / physiology that i will post. i've had some things, a few things, on my heart i felt to share. if i have missed a comment i apologize. this blog site is not like the one i came from where EVERYTHING you did is available to you to review and all comments to you are sent, a function i think the webmaster/blogsitemasterperson (Richard) has said he will do for us.....so if i missed something you said to me, i am sorry, it was not intentional. also -- i have every intention of driving you guys nuts with posts in the summer break from school, that is, if my second job allows me time :( so much for operating in freedom...so much to tell you all, but the bottom line is i want to share spiritual and encouraging messages and read all your wonderful writes. please, bear with me and count me as friend.

 just a quick question: sort of in essay form (do you expect less from "wordy me"? i struggle with sharing biblical study type writes with a mixed audience. i mean that it bothers me to put something up with authority unless it is just plain encouragement. but i believe God has put in my heart a series-lesson-type write and i am afraid to share it because i don't believe women should speak out where there are men. i felt that once before and called on one of my male friends in here to address something with authority because of it. any way, i want to share what i believe He has put in my  heart. perhaps as i write it, His words will flow through me and it will be a non-issue, but i thought i'd run that by y'all and see whatcha think.

p.s. JoeChemist, my college grad, got hired by Schering-Plough this week. Click here to see what they make and click here (oops, LOL) to see something that made me even more glad. Joe is a chemist for them now. i praise God for his journey, his marvelous attitude, his champion heart and his tender-hearted compassion. Joe has blessed my life since before he was born, as have all my babies.

love you friends, really and miss this place so much.

(especially to parents) again i borrow another author's werds:

 (More)

...no more than  you can handle??? i dunno

 (More)

First and foremost, i am HIS kid! A born-again, baptized believer, walking in HIS Amazing Grace. I am a daughter to my (still-living) parents, a sister to four siblings, a mother to three of THE MOST AMAZING young adults on this planet, a friend, a co-worker, a singer for the worship team at a Vineyard Fellowship \o/ and at this amazing time in my live, believe it or not, I am a nursing student! I love my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ and I love to write. I hope to make new friends "here" to talk about HIM and the wonderous things we have seen and know.
