These scriptures give me hope and remind me to be AMAZED by God.

The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.”

“You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. Luke 9:37-43

Carol and I saw this movie this weekend and we both want the soundtrack. Love the lyrics for this one.

Have a blessed weekend!

In October 2006, Charles Carl Roberts IV walked into an Amish school at Nickel
Mines and opened fire. Five girls died and five more were left fighting for
their lives.

Come read the rest of this devotion over at the Vantage Point Daily Devotion for the Presidential Prayer Team. Come join me there. After today the devotion will change and to read this one you will have to go under dates for January 20 to find it.

Hi Friends,Hope you have all had a great week! I'm headed out to visit with my dad this weekend to celebrate his birthday and mine. Please pray for safe travels and for him to be in good spirits.
A few weeks ago I posted a song by Jamie Grace because my daughter had asked for the CD for Christmas. I've since listened to it and found that every song is great. Here is the one I can't get out of my head at the moment. It has great lyrics. Hope you enjoy.Sweet Blessings,Amy

Happy New Year Friends!

Hope your year is off to a great start. Thank you all the prayers and emails you have sent for my dad and Greg's dad. They moved Greg's dad from ICU to a regular room today with a slight improvement and my dad goes for an MRI on Monday. Please keep the prayers coming. We know they work!

Hope you enjoy this song. Our youth group sings in church all the time and my son loves it. It's one of those that sticks in your head.

I think I might have shared this song last year, but I love it. It's so relaxing and I love the lyrics. If you don't know Audrey Assad, you should check her out. Her voice is so soothing. It's a little different Christmas song, but reminds us that Christ came humbly to the earth to save us all.

Dear Friends,

Thanks so much for all of your comments and prayers! Prayer works! I am thrilled to report that my dad's surgery went very well. The doctors removed both tumors and he was able to come right off the ventilator. He was eating solid food by Friday afternoon. He was supposed to be in the hospital until Tuesday but they released him on Sunday afternoon he was doing so well! He is giving all the praise and glory to God! He has to have radiation on his brain now and the doctor said the cancer could come back, but for right now, he is good.

And so is God!

Hello Friends,I have a special prayer request for you this week. They moved my dad's surgery to Friday morning (today). The brain tumor they found has doubled in size in the last two weeks and they found another spot on his brain. He's very nervous and my mom is emotionally and physically drained. I'm traveling to be there for surgery (so this is a scheduled post) and hubby will be home with kids. Please pray for the doctors, the surgery, my dad and mom and my family while I'm away.
Today my quiet time was John Chapter 14. It could not have been more perfect. It says "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God. Trust also in me." I'm trusting Jesus for his perfect will and plan to be worked out. Thanks for the prayers.Amy

I also want to thank all of you for your prayers for my dad. He had a PET scan this week and it determined that the tumor in his brain is not cancer and the cancer has not spread anywhere else in the body. The tumor is operable so he will most likely be having brain surgery in the near future. He has a CT scan on Sept. 21 to see if the tumor on his lung is smaller or gone as a result of the chemo and radiation. Please continue to pray! Thank you!

PS. Please continue to be in prayer for my dad. He finished his last radiation treatment on Tuesday, but had a seizure on Wednesday. He had an MRI and they found a spot on his brain where the think the cancer has spread. He will have a PET scan on Monday or Tuesday to see if it has spread anywhere else, then we will have to make a decision about whether to have brain surgery or not. Thank you for your prayers!

So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 The Message

One of the coolest things about our God is that He meets us right where we are and puts us back together when it seems like life is falling apart.

This is a song that is a little older but I heard it on the radio today and it really spoke to me. Here I am at 40 years of age and still looking for a dream. There is a war being waged for all of our destinies but He has already won the battle! I loved the part about being able to see on His shoulders. It reminded me of sitting on your dad's shoulders to be able to get a better view. Sometimes we can't see because of all the things blocking our view but our Heavenly Father will lift us up to help us see. Sometimes I feel like I can do anything too but other times it's like I've got nothing good to bring. Do you ever feel that way? Perfection is the enemy of us all but thankfully He will help us to overcome - despite the dents in our fenders and rips in our jeans!

Ecclesiastes 3

A Time for Everything

¹ There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

² a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
³ a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
⁵ a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
⁶ a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
⁷ a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
⁸ a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

I heard this one on the radio today and it really spoke to my heart. I am so grateful to know that He is with me through every time and season - and He's with you too.

I've tried three times to copy the embed code from Kutless "What Faith Can Do" and for some reason it keeps kicking me out of blogger - so I don't have a video today - but here are the lyrics.

Everybody falls sometimes Gotta find the strength to rise From the ashes and make a new beginning

Anyone can feel the ache You think it’s more than you can take But you're stronger, stronger than you know

Don’t you give up now The sun will soon be shining You gotta face the clouds To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains Hope that doesn’t ever end Even when the sky is falling

I’ve seen miracles just happen Silent prayers get answered Broken hearts become brand new That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard Impossible is not a word It’s just a reason for someone not to try

Everybody’s scared to death When they decide to take that step Out on the water It’ll be alright

Life is so much more Than what your eyes are seeing You will find your way If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains Hope that doesn’t ever end Even when the sky is falling

I’ve seen miracles just happen Silent prayers get answered Broken hearts become brand new That’s what faith can do

But, I chose that song because the words have spoken so strongly to me this week.

It's been a very challenging week. My Dad had some complications with his lung cancer this week and has been in the hospital with pneumonia. They moved him to ICU today and have decided not to start his chemo until he gets stronger - if he gets stronger. It's happening much faster than we thought. My mom and my dad could definitely use your prayers.

Also my mother in law goes into the hospital Monday morning for brain surgery. They are placing a deep brain stimulator implant in to help stop her tremors. And Spencer will be in the hospital from Wednesday to Friday next week for a routine VEEG for his epilepsy. We are little overwhelmed this week. So... I'm depending on what my faith can do.

Nowhere else to turn
Like Bethlehem we have packed the place
Human need fills ever space
No room at the inn

Still God found a corner,
Made a bed down in the hay
Could he reappear, make his advent here
Will he still draw near today?

My world is crying,
Crying for a Christmas
Some way to know for sure --
That our God is with us
We could all use a sign
A little glimpse of divine
For a world that still cries for Christmas

Feeding trough on a dirty floor
Unimpressive welcome for
God's Almighty Son
Are we as blind to incarnation
Daily proof of our salvation
Love's already come

We are not abandoned,
All alone in our despair
He who once came down, he can still be found
Every when and everywhere

My world is crying,
Crying for a Christmas
Some way to know for sure --
That our God is with us
Once a baby so small
Grew to die for us all
For a world that still cries for Christmas.

Jesus you are here, Jesus you are now
Jesus you are here, Jesus you are now

My world is crying,
Crying for a Christmas
Some way to know for sure --
That our God is with us
We can all be the sign
That his love is alive
For a world that still cries for Christmas

Wow, I can't believe it is already December! This year has really disappeared. For the past few years, I have said I was going to be done with everything for the holidays early so I could enjoy the Christmas season and not feel so rushed and crazy. I keep telling myself to focus on the reason we celebrate Christmas, but somehow I still seem to get trapped in the craziness that most have made of Christmas. I'm praying I will stop feeling so overwhelmed and pressured by the shopping, decorating, baking etc. and just focus on Him this holiday season. My focus for December is peace. This song makes me feel peaceful! I love it. I hope you enjoy it too!

Howdy friends! It's Carol from sheep to the right. Amy is in New Mexico at a writer's conference and asked me to step in for Then Sings My Soul. I was happy to oblige.
I've chosen the theme song to The Lone Ranger (William Tell). Amy and I are usually joined at the hip, so I tease that we are The Lone Ranger and Tonto. Well, this week she truly is the "lone" ranger, since she left Tonto back in Georgia.
I can't wait until Sunday until she gallops back home again! Enjoy!

Then Sings My Soul Saturday - Strong Enough

2010-11-05T21:53:00.003-04:00

November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month. I hope to post some more information and links to some epilepsy websites for you this month and hopefully post the video from the interview I did recently in New York for Women Succeeding with Epilepsy.

I thought this song by Matthew West was appropriate for how I feel sometimes when Spencer's seizures are out of control. Whatever your circumstance, know that He is strong enough for both of you.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

You must

You must think I'm strong

To give me what I'm going through

Well, forgive me

Forgive me if I'm wrong

But this looks like more than I can do

On my own

I know I'm not strong enough to be

everything that I'm supposed to be

I give up

I'm not stong enough

Hands of mercy won't you cover me

Lord right now I'm asking you to be

Strong enough

For the both of us

Well, maybe

Maybe that's the point

To reach the point of giving up

Cause when I'm finally

Finally at rock bottom

Well, that's when I start looking up

And reaching out

I know I'm not strong enough to be

Everything that I'm supposed to be

I give up

I'm not stong enough

Hands of mercy won't you cover me

Lord right now I'm asking you to be

Strong enough

Hope you have a blessed weekend!

Unclean

2010-10-25T09:10:00.002-04:00

Lately my mind and my “to do list” have been focused on clean, clean, clean. You see, my house could use a good cleaning from top to bottom. Especially before we drag out all of the Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations and bring in a whole new lot of toys, games and clothes. Since both kids have birthdays near the end of the year and Christmas presents will be coming in soon, it can get to be a bit overwhelming. That’s why it especially struck me when twice this week, once in chapel at school with my kids and then at church, I heard the story of the leper Christ healed. (I have come to realize when I hear something over and over, it is often God trying to get my attention.)

Why did this story jump out at me and what does it have to do with a clean house you ask?

Hello Friends,

First of all I want to say thank you to all of you for always being so faithful to post and join in on TSMS Saturdays. And I want to say thank you for always commenting. I know sometimes I don't always get them up right away but I do read them all on my phone and sometimes I don't get back on the computer to get them posted. It's seems life has just gotten crazier and busier so I'm not having a lot of time to blog and read blogs but I love that you all still come by to visit me!

Also I wanted to thank you for all of the prayers and well wishes while I was in NYC last weekend. My trip was fabulous! The shows were wonderful and the taping went well. I will post the link to the webisode next month when it airs during National Epilepsy Awareness Month.

Thankfully the kids and Greg were fine while I was away but Spencer did have a seizure this week when I got home. At least it wasn't while I was gone!

Tonight we had Mary Lyndsey's birthday party. She had a pretend sleepover party from 4-9pm with 14 little girls. Needless to say, my head is spinning right now! I'll be sure to post some pictures this week. We had a blast.

Been thinking of this song today since Mary Lyndsey also had her first Praise Girls performance today at school and this is the song they signed/danced to. I'll have to post some pics of that too.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Then Sings My Soul Saturday - Change Me

2010-10-01T22:00:00.000-04:00

Have you ever gone through a period of time where you didn't like yourself very much? I know I am fearfully and wonderfully made, so that's not the kind of not liking yourself I'm talking about. I'm talking about knowing you should be doing more. Knowing you have somehow started to drift and now you feel lost and off course from the plan God has for your life. I'm talking about being frustrated for not having more self discipline. I think the feeling I have is what Paul was talking about when he said,

"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." Romans 7:15

Anyone been there? I heard this song recently by Sanctus Real and it resonated with me. My prayer is that He would change me from who I've been lately into who He wants me to be.

Praying for you to have a blessed weekend.

Our neighbors on both sides of our home have trampolines in their backyards. This proves to be a great attraction to many of the kids in our cul-de-sac including my daughter. I don’t mind her jumping, but there is only one problem. One neighbor has a net around her trampoline and the other does not. So the rule is, you can jump on the one with the net, but not on the other. After all, I have to do as much as I can to keep her safe, right?

Hello Friends,

I hope you have had a blessed week and that you have some great plans for Labor Day Weekend! We are planning for some much needed rest. The school year has gotten off to a busy start and we need a little break!

This past week I finally rented and watched the movie Letters To God. I really enjoyed it. Although I recommend a box of tissues if you plan to watch it.

This song was in the movie and it really spoke to me. I'm leading a Bible study by Kay Arthur on prayer right now and this song really expresses how many people feel about prayer I think.

Also there is some information at the bottom of this post about the NRB's call to prayer.

Hope you enjoy!

Have a blessed, safe weekend.

Amy

The information below is taken from TGIF by Os Hillman.

A CALL TO PRAYER--On September 1st, the National Religous Broadcasters (NRB) will inaugurate a 40-day prayer campaign called ?If My People.? There is no agenda, movement or march planned around this call to prayer. The instruction, command, and direction from God is simple and clear, taken from 2 Chronicles 7:14: ?If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.?

God moves in the affairs of men and nations, and critical issues face us today on every level: our families are broken; the social fabric of our culture that was once our strength is now torn and tattered; our government is unproductive at best; our educational system is misguided; our economy is crumbling; and even many of our churches seem weak and ineffective. These issues seem too complex to correct, and the spiral continues downward in all areas of our culture and society. The underlying causes of all these problems are spiritual, and only God can make things right.

One hundred fifty years ago, America faced similar problems. One man, Jeremiah Lamphier, was moved to action in calling others to prayer. The impact on our nation was historic, as men and women came to Christ, repented of sin, and turned their focus to God and righteous living. Will you join the effort to day, and accept the call to prayer, as instructed in 2 Chronicles 7:14?

Visit http://ifmypeopleprayusa.org/ for more on this call to prayer, how you can pray, what to pray for, when to pray, and even how to lead a prayer group.

Then Sings My Soul Saturday - My Own Little World

2010-08-21T09:57:00.003-04:00

So sorry I'm late posting today. We had terrible lightning storms for hours last night so the computers and televisions were out. Still raining this morning, but at least the lightning has stopped for now.

I recently had a conversation with a girlfriend about how easy it is for us to get wrapped up in our own little world and not even recognize what is going on around us. Then, I heard this song and it was like God was speaking directly to my heart. Sometimes, I get so caught up in my own list of what I have to get done that day for my house, or my kids or their school, or my husband, that I don't take time to stop and ask what God wants me to do. It's hard because the outside world's problems seem so insurmountable sometimes. But, I'm praying for God to gently remind me each morning and let me see though His eyes. It's a little scary... but cool.

What's your world like?

Have a blessed weekend!

One of my recent Bible readings was Acts 12. In this chapter, Herod has put Peter in prison. Now Herod was arresting those who belonged to the church and had put James, the brother of John to death already, so it wasn’t looking good for Peter. The church was “earnestly praying” to God on Peter’s behalf.

My kids are super excited about the Fourth of July. They love the parties, the decorations, and the fireworks. They love that I pull out some red, white and blue craft for us to do. They love that we always buy or make a new patriotic shirt or outfit to wear. They love that we usually take a trip, maybe to the beach or the mountains.

2010-06-25T23:28:00.002-04:00

I really like this song by Sanctus Real. On many days, I feel exactly like the lyrics to this song.
Sometimes I just wanna start over
Cause everything looks like a wreck
And I need the courage to carry on
Cause I can't see what's ahead

And there are places I've wished I could be
Battles I've wanted to win
Dreams that have slipped through my hands
I may never get back again

But I'm still a dreamer
A believer
Oh, I lost my faith in so many things
But I still believe in You
Cause You can make anything new

Sometimes I just wish we could say
All the things that are easy to hear
Ignore the injustice we see
And explain every unanswered prayer

But I'd rather speak honestly
And wear a tattered heart on my sleeve
Cuz in the middle of my broken dreams
Redemption is here

And I'm still a dreamer
A believer
Oh, I lost my faith in so many things
But I still believe in You
Cause You are the answer
The Redeemer
Oh, I've given up on too many things
But I'm not giving up on You
Cause You can make anything new

I don't have every answer in life
But I'm trusting You one day at a time
Cause You can make a weak heart stay alive
Forever
And this is where heaven and earth collide
I lift my hands, I give my life
This is how my weary heart stays alive

Oh, I'm still a dreamer
Still a believer
And You are the answer
The Redeemer
Cause You can make anything new
Yeah, You can make anything new

Enjoy!Have a blessed weekend.

I stumbled across this song this week. I'd never heard it before but I fell in love with it. The artist is Audrey Assad. I've posted the lyrics below as best as I can figure them from the video. The words really spoke to me and echoed how my heart feels at times. Sometimes we are afraid to let our faith be real and we need to ask for His help to love Him and want Him. We sometimes have to ask for Him to help us fall to our knees. But still, I think He loves it when we are honest.

Hope you have a blessed weekend.

Lyrics

I'm not afraid to be honest with you today.

The only thing I'm sure of is the view.

I never knew of grace before you called my name,

before you touched my face with your hand.

Even when I'm falling, confused and I'm frightened

and my faith is afraid to be real,

You know me, help me to want you, help me to want you.

You know me, help me to love you, help me to love you.

I'm not alone in this fight but I see .......

You are the rock I said I stand on

Oh I never knew about love before your healing touch,

You always hold that open door.

Even when I'm angry, hurt and broken,

won't you help me to fall on my knees.

You know me, help me to want you, help me to want you.

You know me, help me to love you, help me to love you.

⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel

Anybody else out there have control issues? Maybe it's my personality, but I like to be in control. I like to have things planned out and know what is going to happen before it does. So... you see where this can sometimes cause problems in letting God direct me and in trusting Him not just in thought but in action. The words to this song really spoke to me this week. I struggle when I don't know where God is leading me... but I'm recommitting to trust Him.
