The first time I ever heard this song, it really struck a note within me. How many times as a Christian are we discouraged; just going through the motions of Church and we obviously don't want to give up or walk away. But the fight has worn on us. It's times like this, I encourage myself with a song, remind myself that it's not my strength I need to rely on, and lean on HIM, the who is my strength. So today, I'd like to leave a bit of encouragment to those who a battle weary.
Psalm 46 KJV
1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
This life is full of sadness, anger, and many hurting people. So I challenge you to look around your work place, school, and your neighborhood. Look deeper than what people say, and see if God won't lead you to someone who needs HIM.

Take Me To The King Lyrics
I don't have much to bring My heart is torn in pieces It's my offering
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
I don't have much to bring My heart's torn in 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 oh, yeah, 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
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 to sing to You this song
Take me to the...
Lord we're in the way We keep making mistakes Glory is not for us It's all for You
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
Boy was I ever scared too! Leeeeeeeeettt's just say I graduated in 2000, so this is the first time I am going back to school since then. When I started college, I had no idea what it was going to be like. I anticipated it to be SUPER HARD, but it's not. In fact, it's a little too easy. Maybe because I am only taking Child Development classes, but if I don't get an A on my quiz, I'd be surprised. I'm just thankful that I felt confident enough on my first quiz, and that I didn't blank out.
