So, I decided to change up the format on the blog, as you know. Rather than having Music Monday and Word Wednesday, I’ve decided to consolidate them into Thursday Thoughts. I like talking about what God is saying. Sometimes it’s in music and sometimes it’s in Scripture. I’d also like to hear your thoughts. Anyone want to guest post?
Lately, I’ve been hung up on Chris Tomlin’s newer one, “Whom Shall I Fear.” As I type this, there are 18 eighth grade boys having Bible class in my room with another teacher, and they are singing this song. I know not all of them get it yet… But every single one of them is lifting his voice. Their arms around each other and they are singing at the top of their lungs. I love these boys, and next year, they leave us for the high school. I don’t know how I feel about that. My kiddos… moving on up.
But that wasn’t the point. I digressed a little. Any song about not fearing is a good song in my book. This one just serves to remind me what God has delivered me from. That He is the one who is before me and behind me, always by my side… and I have no need to fear. Satan brought fear… and God defeated him. If you could see into my soul and no how deeply I feel that… I hope you know what God has done for you! And that is what I want my life to be. A testimony of God’s new beginnings…

1) I love this song! And it just came on the radio as I was reading this. 🙂
2) I might be interested in guest posting if you’ll have me! I recently wrote something about Nebuchadnezzar’s journey to faith if you’re interested in reading it.
3) With the new layout (which I LOVE), I just read the synopsis of Unforgotten. 10 times more excited to read it now as it sounds like something I’d pick up in the bookstore even if I didn’t know the author! 🙂
4) Hooray for summer vacation!!!
