God I Look to You

God I look to You, I won’t be overwhelmed
Give me vision to see things like You do
God I look to You, You’re where my help comes from
Give me wisdom; You know just what to do

I will love You Lord my strength
I will love You Lord my shield
I will love You Lord my rock forever
All my days I will love You God

Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns forever
All my days Hallelujah

(By Bethel)

Such simple words...yet such a profound message. So often we find ourselves in a world of hurt, confusion, stress. We forget that the solution is simple. It may not be easy, but it is most certainly simple.
Look to God.
When we learn of His love for us...that He would send Christ into our world as a little baby, then as a man die for perfectly and blamelessly for the sins of the world...when we learn of that kind of love..we can learn to trust Him.
That's it.
That simple.
If I trust God, then I know I am safe. I know I am loved. And when I know that, I am free to love Him back.
He is so beautiful.


Here is a beauitful music video from Bethel. Stunning...that's all I have to say.

Enjoy :)

Slow

This morning I had a moment...

The kind where you realize you are overwhelmed...

Too many emotions, too many thoughts.

Stop, Courtney...take a breath.

As I lay in bed contemplating when I would actually decide to push myself up and out,

I started to pray and reflect about why I am overwhelmed.

And I decided to change my heart, shift my attitude.

Life is busy...it will always be.

I don't want to spend time worrying and fretting about something that can't change...won't change.

So, today...I am taking a break. 

Choosing to remember that I am where I ought to be.

Even when it doesn't look like I think it should.

I am choosing to live in the Joy of my Savior.

I am choosing to believe in the life My God has for me.

In the promises He has spoken over me.

In the Love He has shown me.

I am choosing to enjoy the people around me.

To love them, to cherish them and bless them.

Today is a good day...because I choose for it to be. :)

I am listening to this beautiful song by Audrey Assad this morning.

The lyrics and melody are so sweet, so beautiful.

 I hope you listen and reflect on the words, and the truth they hold.

and I hope that you enjoy today...because you can. :)

Because God is moving and He is moving you...

even when you don't feel it.
