What I am Thankful for.....

I am thankful for my ears and the ability to hear.

I am thankful for a place to live in.

I am thankful for my hands.

I am thankful for the smile I get to see when the youngest wakes up.

I am thankful for the call I get when the middle one bakes something awesome.

I am thankful for the hug I get when I pick up the grandson from school.

I am thankful for the text I get from the oldest saying "Good morning!"

I am thankful for the constant calling of "Mommy" by the oldest son who won't get out of the bed.

I am thankful for the friends who text to encourage and check on me.

I am thankful for the ability to walk.

What I am Thankful for.....

I am thankful that I started this blog seven years ago and did not totally forget it existed.

I am thankful that I have been blessed with four beautiful children and one awesome grandson.

I am thankful that my church is still one of the top places I love to be alone.

I am thankful for my job still do not feel qualified to do it but I am so grateful that God has shown me favor.

I am thankful that I have made it through almost 9 years of being a single parent.

I am thankful that God is so faithful.

I am thankful for my parents. They do not always agree with my choices but they have not given up on me.

I am thankful for my pastor. She is the most awesome, amazing woman of God in the world. Truly for me the song "Never would have made" is all about her.

I am thankful for my eyes.

I am thankful for every mistake I have made in my life. I believe they have made me the understanding and compassionate person that I humbly try to be every day.

I am thankful for every relationship I have had in my life. Every friend, associate, coworker, lover has helped me become who I am and 'I like me', so for that I am grateful.

"It Could Be Worse"

James Fortune & FIYA feat. LeAndria Johnson & Zacardi Cortez)

[Verse 1:]
You’ve been saying that you’re tired of going through
Seems like everyone else is blessed but you
Preacher telling you, your miracle is on the way
Paid your tithes, you’re confused cause your rent is late

[Pre Chorus:]
So you may not have a mansion in a gated neighborhood
But at least you have a roof over your head
You say your body needs a healing, well the healer’s here today

[Chorus:]
Praise now, it could be worse, Praise now it could be worse

[Verse 2:]
You complain about the job that you don’t like
Do your best, working hard they don’t treat your right
Boss is telling you, your raise is coming soon
With no notice, you’re laid off, what do you do

[Pre Chorus:]
You’ve been waiting on your blessing
Don’t you know you’re already blessed
You should thank the Lord for what you already have
If it wasn’t for Jesus, tell me where would you be

[Chorus]

[Vamp]

Praise now it could be worse

Jekalyn Carr - Greater is Coming

An olive has to go through three stages, for its oil to run:

It has to go through the shaking, the beating, and the pressing

And just like the olive, some of you may have felt like you go through the shaking, the beating and the pressing.

You've went through all of that for your oil to flow

Now, your greater is coming...

Verse:

If it had not been for the shaking,

I never would have been ready for the making, no

If it had not been for the beating,
I would have never knew how anointed I would be.

If it had not been for the pressing,
I wouldn't be able to walk into my destiny.
He's preparing me, preparing me, preparing me for greater...

Chorus:
I feel a shaking in the Spirit,
I feel a beating in the Spirit,
I feel a pressing in the Spirit,
Preparing me for greater...

I feel a shaking in the Spirit,
I feel a beating in the Spirit,
I feel a pressing in the Spirit,
Preparing me for greater...

Verse:
If it had not been for the shaking,
I never would have been ready for the making, no

If it had not been for the beating,
I would have never knew how anointed I would be.

If it had not been for the pressing,
I wouldn't be able to walk into my destiny.
He's preparing me, preparing me, preparing me for greater...

Chorus:
I feel a shaking in the Spirit,
I feel a beating in the Spirit,
I feel a pressing in the Spirit,
Preparing me for greater...

I feel a shaking in the Spirit,
I feel a beating in the Spirit,
I feel a pressing in the Spirit,
Preparing me for greater...

Many are the afflications of the righteous,
But the Lord delivereth them out,
Of them all...

Because your greater is coming...

My song for the month

Kierra Kiki Sheard
Indescribable

Verse 1:
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creations revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Chorus:
Indescribable, uncontainable, You place the stars in the sky and You know
Them by name, You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable, awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly
Proclaim, You are amazing God

Verse 2:
Who sees lightning bolts and tells them where they should go or
Sees heavenly store houses laden in snow
Who imagined the sun and gave source to it's light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

(Repeat Chorus)

Chorus 2:
Incomparable, unchangeable, You've seen the depths of my heart and You love me the same, You are amazing God
You are amazing God

(Repeat Chorus)
Vamp:
You are amazing God (5 x's)

My song for the month

What If--James Fortune & FIYA

What if I were a liar with the most amazing stories ever heard?
What if I was a robber taking things that I didn't earn?
What if I was a killer that thought nothing of taking another life?
What if I was suicidal and the only life I wanna take is mine?

Would He love me, and would He forgive me, would He save me, and dare to use me?

What if I had a baby that I didn't allow to come into the world?
And what if I'm confused about whether I'm a boy or a girl?
What if I took a husband away from his wife and his child?
What if I said before I didn't believe in God anyhow?

Would He love me, would He forgive me, would He save me oh yea, and dare to use me?
Oh Ooo Oh Ooo Oh Ooo Ooo Ooo

::Chorus::
I don't know everything
But this one thing I'm sure of
The blood of Jesus can make any sinner pure

Yes He loves you, yes He'll forgive you, yes He'll save you, He'll even use you
Oh ooo Oh ooo oh Hooo

Yes He loves you (With unconditional love)
He will forgive you (No matter where you've been or what you've done Oh)
He will save you (My God is mighty to save)
He'll even use you (I'm a living witness yea)
Oooohh Oooo

Yea
(What can wash)
Yea
(Away my sins)
He will forgive you
(Nothing but the blood of Jesus)
(Hey)
Yea
(What can make)
Yea
(Me whole again)
And He will save you
(Nothing but the blood- nothing but the Blood of Jesus)
What if I was a... ?

My Song for the Month

Take Me To The King – Tamela Mann

Listen Now!

Take Me To The King
I don’t have much to bring
My heart’s torn in pieces
It’s my offering
Take Me To The King

Truth is I’m tired
Options are few
I’m trying to pray
But where are you?
I’m all churched out
Hurt and abused
I can’t fake
What’s left to do?

Truth is I’m weak
No strength to fight
No tears to cry
Even if I tried
But still my soul
Refuses to die
One touch will change my life

Take Me To The King
I don’t have much to bring
My heart’s torn into pieces
It’s my offering

Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And sing to You this song
Please Take Me To The King

Truth is it’s time
To stop playing these games
We need a word
For the people’s pain

So Lord speak right now
Let it fall like rain
We’re desperate
We’re chasing after you

No rules, no religion
I’ve made my decision
To run to You
The healer that I need

Chorus
Take Me To The King
I don’t have much to bring
My heart’s torn to pieces
It’s my offering

Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And sing to You this song

Take Me To The

Lord we’re in the way
We keep making mistakes
The Glory is not for us
It’s all for You

Chorus
Take Me To The King
I don’t have much to bring
My heart’s torn to pieces
It’s my offering

Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And sing to You this song

Take Me To The King 3x
