Welcome...I'm delighted that you chose to visit! I started this blog in March 2010 and I am so happy that I did. It has made me more aware of the many ways that God is blessing my life. I have made some special friends who bless,teach,encourage,and entertain me! My desire is to be an encouragement to you. I hope you will tarry for a while and that you will come back to visit often.

he's been faithful to me

A young woman sang this in church yesterday. It was beautiful. It's message made me cry...remembering how faithful my Heavenly Father has been this past year....maybe the most difficult year of my life. And also thinking about how I can trust Him to be faithful in this new year and all the years ahead. What an amazing, gracious, and loving God we serve!
Here are the words. I tried to post the video from youtube, but, alas, it would not work. If you'd like to hear it, The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir sings it well and you can view it there.

He's Been Faithful To Me

In My Moments Of Fear
Through Every Pain, Every Tear
There's A God Who's Been Faithful To Me

When My Strength Was All Gone
When My Heart Had No Song
Still In Love, He's Proved Faithful To Me

Every Word He's Promised Is True
What I Thought Was Impossible
I've Seen My God Do

He's Been Faithful
Faithful To Me
Looking Back, His Love And Mercy I See
Though In My Heart I Have Questioned
And Failed To Believe
He's Been Faithful, Faithful To Me

When My Heart Looked Away
The Many Times I Could Not Pray
Still My God Was Faithful To Me

The Days I Spent So Selfishly
Reaching Out For What Pleased Me
Even Then, God Was Faithful To Me

Every Time I Come Back To Him
He Is Waiting With Open Arms
And I See Once Again

He's Been Faithful
Faithful To Me
Looking Back His Love And Mercy I See
Though In My Heart I Have Questioned
Even Failed To Believe
Yet He's Been Faithful, Faithful To Me

  1. I think I could say that too, In so many ways 2010 was one of the hardest years yet. But, God was faithful through it all. How else would I have known Him if not He had not walked with me every step of the way. Thanks so much for sharing Miss Debbie. Those are wonderful words and always a very good reminder.

  2. I started it too, and I was having a hard time with it. It was almost like someone else tried to write the book. I thought it seemed stiff. I keep thinking it will get better as I get further along. It is almost I thought like she was tired to the subject. Maybe I just need to go back and read the whole series again. I remember it was hard to start the one when they go to the island but the second time I read it, it became one of my favorites.
    I will keep reading though.

  5. Thanks for letting me know your impressions of the JK book. I felt the same about it when I read it last month. Glad to know it isn't only me! It left me a little flat, not up to her usual standards I think. The story line becomes clearer as you read on....
