Truth
I am righteous
I am worthy
I am loved
It's my time to play
Jesus wants the best for me
Daddy God is not withholding anything from me
God believes in me.
God delights in me.
God loves me.
I am good. I am a treasure. I have worth.
I am pleasing to Daddy God

Perhaps a more fitting title would be ramblings of a mad woman! From mad at the world to mad about Love, I must warn you now that I am extremely opinionated and yes, long winded! So, grab a cup of java or a glass of vino, and curl up on your comfy chair...Deep calls to deep...come take a drink.

Life Lessons in Marriage
Life lessons in my journey of marriage:
1) Don't beat yourself up about not having time for everything. Lean your heart into God and lean back and love others. Through His grace, Holy Spirit will give you the wisdom to do the things you need to do. So enjoy the moment and aim your heart at thriving in the season you are in.
2) On a good day, you control you. Tell yourself what to do and do it. Be honest about your feelings and your expectations (ones you've placed on yourself and on your spouse). It's important to understand that the goal of communication is not agreement. The goal of communication is to be heard. Get good at telling your spouse what you need. Give them the tools they need to love you. Don't assume they know what you need. Silence sets you up for injured expectations which leads to discontent and disillusion. Eliminate this with good communication. Make your heart and your home a safe place where honesty, transparency, and vulnerability can have free reign.
3) Lastly, keep it hot! Let your passion for God create the overflow and outflow of your passion for your mate. Love deeply. Don't hold back any part of you. Give freely. After all, you are created in the image of a generous Father. Forgive quickly. Always value your connection above being right. Unforgiveness blocks intimacy and opens the door to torment.
Have fun!
Remember that joy is 1/3 of the Kingdom of God (Romans 5:17).
Laugh a lot.
Play games together.
Get good at loving. Have fun at living.
Let your hair down and enjoy the journey.

Symphony
Symphony
Sound
Syncopation
The waves crashing in, roaring in
Flooding the nation
What's the sound?
Hear the sound?
It's the voice of mighty waters
Peace, I say
Peace, I say
Peace to all your borders
The roar of the land
The roar of the sea
Blending in perfect harmony
There's a unity in the sound
A oneness in the song
The saints are summoned
To sing along
Carry the tune
Pound the drum
Come people of God
Hum hum hum
Roaring
Flowing
Crashing In
A melodious song on the lips of men
Praise Him
Raise Him
Lift Him high
He's the roar of the ocean
The symphonic beat
The Desire of the Nations
The Love we seek
Symphony
Sound
Syncopation
Releasing hope to all generations
Hear the song?
Hear the sound?

Go fulfill your destiny
For this cause I've come
For this cause I've came

Give you my name
Go Live
Go Be
Go fulfill your destiny
Heaven applauds you
The earth awaits you
Will you join with the sound?
