I HAVE TO SHARE THIS!!!

This weekend has been BIG for me!!!

I was BLESSED to sit in the presence of Jesus ALL weekend!

He has talked with me, walked with me, made me laugh, made me cry, broken me, cleansed me, FORGIVEN ME and BEST of all LOVED ME!!!



SO I have a message to share with you...



I was saved at the age of 9. I was at my VBS family night and the Lord, clear as day, spoke my name and called me to Him. I accepted and I repented and my name was written in the Lamb's book of life!!! As time went on, I longed for my relationship with Him to be close and personal, but I didn't know how to make it personal. I soon became a teen and began to take lots of very wrong turns. I would often lie in bed at night and confess, then get up the next day and in my weakness make the same mistakes. It wasn't until I was 21, that I my choices got a little better. I began to lean on Jesus, because I had NO ONE else! I got a small glimpse of what that close personal relationship was could be like, but still not knowing I continued to fail. Now, fast forward to October 2008. My life for the past 5 years has been challenging to say the least. I was bitter, hurt, angry and emotionally exhausted! This weekend through an AMAZING ministry called Discipleship Walk, I was given the tools that I needed to make my relationship close and personal. God wrapped His arms around me and LOVED me this weekend!!! And for the first time in years I am longing to spend time with Him!!! He laid a song on my heart yesterday. A song that I have always loved, one with a great message, but I never could sing it and mean it. I sang it with a "mask" on. Below, I have pasted the lyrics. Read it and know that I AM SINGING IT NOW! It is my life song! Any hey, if you want to know and experience God's arms around you and a LOVE that is so real that you break inside, then you need to go on the Spring Discipleship Walk. Go to http://www.raleighassembly.com/ then click on OUTREACH then click on Discipleship Walk, and of course you can always just call me for info.



Ok, here is the song lyrics and a link if you want to listen. Oh, and think on this...

Is HE everything to you?

Everything To Me by Avalon



I grew up in Sunday school

I memorized the Golden rule

And how Jesus came to set the sinner free

I know the story inside out

I can tell you all about

The path that led Him up to Calvary

But ask me why He loves me

And I don't know what to say

But I'll never be the same

Because he changed my life when He became...

Everything to me

He's more than a story

more than words on a page of history

He's the air that I breath

The water I thirst for

And the ground beneath my feet

He's everything, everything to me

We're living in uncertain times

And more and more I find

that I'm aware Of just how fragile life can be

I want to tell the world I found

A love that turned my life around

They need to know that they can taste and see

Now everyday I'm praying

Just to give my heart away

I want live for Jesus

So that someone else might see that he is...

Everything to me

He's more than a story

more than words on a page of history

He's the air that I breath

The water I thirst for

And the ground beneath my feet

He's everything

And looking back over my life at the end

I'll go to meet you saying you've been...

You're everything to me

You're more than a story

More than words on a page of history

You're everything to me

You're more than a story

More than words on a page of history

You're the air that I breath

The water I thirst

the ground beneath my feet

You're everything to me Lord,

you're everything to me
