spring is here....








Today I had such an amazing day...there hasn't been a snowfall in just over 5 days and the snow is slowly melting, the birds are chirping and the lake is no longer frozen. A friend and i walked down to the lake, picked up coffee on the way and just spent time together. It was just so nice with the sun out and then this afternoon i worked outside on our patio and worked on my teaching for Monday. Each of us are doing a character study of the book of Ruth. I chose Ruth as my focus...I am really looking forward to putting the teaching together and sharing it with my fellow students. I have been tracing Ruth's heart and her characteristics and it is so beautiful how she is drawn to God and has so much integrity, such a hard worker and how she seeks after the Lord and then how the Lord blesses her so much. We serve a God worthy of our praise...we are to seek after Him, but He also seeks after us.

...i can fly


I close my eyes
Everything disappears with Your smile
I raise my hands
On a cliff I stand
Arms open wide
You’re the Father, I’m the child
You whisper to me:
Step off the edge–

Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Cut loose, cut loose the tie
Let it go, let it go

Way too long
I’ve settled for these lies
When so much more
Has been waitin’ on the other side
I think it’s time
We crossed this river so wide
Leave these shores, step off the edge

Leave it all behind,
Leave it all behind
Cut loose, cut loose the tie
Let it go, let it go

Fly, Fly
You can fly
Leave the ground, leave the ground
Go and fly
This is what you
You were meant to fly

Through the wind and the trees
Through the wind, through the wind and the trees
Through the wind, through the wind and the trees

The leaves are dancin’
The leaves are dancin’
Healing, healing, healing
Healing power is comin' down
Healing power is comin' down
Healing power, healing power
Healing power is comin' down

It's just me and You
It’s just me and You, Papa
It’s just me and You in this place
It’s just me and You and Your face
I can’t hear any other voices
But Yours, but Yours
It’s just me and You, God
It’s just me and You, God

What I once was
What I once was
I'll never be again
I’m becoming the dream
The dream of God
Eden, oh the Garden is right here, right now
All I can see is you smiling
Smilng over me, oh God
