How You Live

How You Live (Turn Up The Music)

Verse 1:Wake up to the sunlight

With your windows open

Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken

Wear your red dress

Use your good dishes

Make a big mess and make lots of wishes

Have what you want

But want what you have

And don't spend your life lookin' back

Chorus:Turn up the music

Turn it up loud

Take a few chances

Let it all out

You won't regret it

Lookin' back from where you have been

Cuz it's not who you knew

And it's not what you did

It's how you live

Verse 2:So go to the ballgames

And go to the ballet

And go see your folks more than just on the holidays

Kiss all your children

Dance with your wife

Tell your husband you love him every night

Don't run from the truth 'Cause you can't get away

Just face it and you'll be okay

:Oh wherever you are and wherever you've been

Now is the time to begin

Verse 3:So give to the needyAnd pray for the grieving

E'en when you don't think that you can

'Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you

So think of your fellow man

Make peace with God and make peace with yourself

'Cause in the end there's nobody else.

Worship

Worship isn’t just about singing, playing instruments or singing on the stage during a weekend experience.

Worship is the outpouring of our hearts, even through the most mundane, regular things we do.

Worship is seeing God’s hand in the beautiful sunrise.
Worship is smiling at that little one while you’re changing his poopy diaper.
Worship is choosing to love that office or school mate, even when they are unlovable.
Worship is embracing your circumstances, not merely enduring them.
Worship is thinking of others as more important than ourselves.
Worship is accepting that He is in control, and I am not.
Worship is serving.
Worship is loving.

Worship is a natural outflow of what is in our heart. It is the River of Life flowing through us.

John 7:38
"Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’”

Romans 12:1
"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him."

Tuneful Tuesday

We saw this annointed man, Israel Houghton and New Breed this past year in concert.

Talk about worship......this group knows what it means.
The best part is the first song: Moving Forward: when it gets to minute 3.......it gets really good.
Makes me think of the angels in Heaven dancing and praising God...I can't wait!!

Sunday Snippets

So this morning I woke up to a hubby not feeling well....so we all stayed home from church.....
and I also found a yucky surprise in my kitchen. It seems we hava furry friend. I thought I heard something last night underneath our oven, but we couldn't find anything. So I thought the best way to test it is leave something on the counter. The little sucker went for bait......yuck.
So I flew to Dollar General as fast as my van would go and purchased 12 DECONS!!!! I will get him......yuck, yuck, yuck.....I hate mices!!!

It rained most of the day....but we didn't care...we got out our fun new fall clothes and snuggled up with movies and then some praise & worship music.....the kids and I......and when Daddy wokeup around 11ish, he was feeling better.

I drank some new yummy Vanilla Biscotti coffee all morning long while the kids entertained me.

*FROM THE SERMON SNIPPET FILES*

.......Legalism does NOT keep you holy.....the Word of God does!!!!

" For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Romans 10:4

.........When Jesus died on the Cross....it was finished.....no more legalism!!!

Only freedom in Him!!!!!
