Our God
by Chris Tomlin
Passion : Awakening

Water You turned into wine
Open the eyes of the blind
There’s no one like You
None like You
Into the darkness You shining
Out of the ashes we rise
There’s no one like You
None like You

CHORUS
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…

Into the darkness you shining
Out of the ashes we Rise
There’s no One like You
None like You.

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…

BRIDGE
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
What can stand against?

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…

And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who can ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
Then what can stand against?
Then what can stand against?

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…

back at it

well i realize that i totally lost control!! and then i honestly believe that i had a good heart to heart with God!  and with an antidepressant and some extra vitamin D i feel like i'm getting back to the OLD me!! which to be honest i'm not even sure who that really is anymore!  i have been without a job for 16 months now and it's been a road i didn't feel i deserved, but i've been able to stay at home with my girls and enjoy the simple things.  yet, i haven't really been enjoying them.... i 'suffer' (i don't really like that word) from depression... big time. and it's been difficult just to leave my house.  i was feeling sorry for myself.  i was sad!! still holding on to the sadness of losing my mom and my dad and my grandfather and now watching my grandmother slowly die.  all i could think of is "when do i get a break?"  this year will be 10 years since my mom died.  and some days it still hurts like it was yesterday!   

but.... 

what saved me was GOD!! really, truly and honestly!!  and it is Pastor Steven Furtick who puts Gods words in to my heart!!  every week it as though he is speaking directly to me...  God wants me to do better, to be better, to get off the couch and change.. 

so that's what i am doing... slowly!!  i joined the YMCA and started working out 5 days a week and it's only week two but i'm so proud to say that i RAN my first mile today.  it might not be much to a lot of people but it's a lot to me... i've NEVER run a mile in my entire life.. seriously NEVER!!  

i am feeling better about ME and about my journey in life.  i may not see God's plan clearly right now but maybe He wants me to take care of me for once. (something my mom never did for herself) SO... we joined a church (which i talk about a lot these days, b/c it is amazing!! ) we joined the YMCA, we will soon be joining a community group with our church! We love living in Belmont!!

Spiritual Hearing Loss

Week 2 : Where are they now?

Spiritual Hearing Loss
by Pastor Steven Furtick @ Elevation Church

Acts 28: 26-27
26 : to tell our ancestors, `Go to these people and tell them: You will listen and listen, but never understand. You will look and look, but never see. 27: All of you have stubborn hearts. Your ears are stopped up, and your eyes are covered. You cannot see or hear or understand. If you could, you would turn to me, and I would heal you.' " (CEV)

1.  Your spiritual sense of hearing should be important to you!  How much importance do you put on hearing God in your daily life?

2.  There's more than one way to lose your spiritual hearing.

3.  It's possible to hear God perfectly on one frequency and here nothing on another.

4.  If you won't listen to God in one area of your life there may come a time when you can't hear Him at all.

5. When the ringing goes away it means something has died inside.

Easter with the Yancey's

can't have Easter without my girls in there pretty Easter dresses!!  what's so sweet/funny about these Easter dresses is that every year my grandmother bought me an Easter dress.. and i mean EVERYEAR until i was 13, i think! and this year Vic's mom (maw maw) bought these beautiful matching Easter dresses.  I love the dresses and I LOVE my girls!!  they look like little princesses!
