Don't Lose Your PRAISE

A few weeks ago I attended a Women's Conference (Transformed from Grace to Glory)and a very anointed lady did a praise dance to the song "I Never Lost My Praise" by Tramaine Hawkins. I was truly blessed by this song and the awesome anointing through this sister's dance ministry. The words really speak to my heart because I have been through some seasons where it seemed I had lost everything. I have lost some things that were very dear to me, some relationships I once held so dear seemed to slip away. But Praise God through it all, I didn't lose my hope, I didn't lose my joy, I didn't lose my faith, but most of all, Praise be to God, I didn't lose my praise! I believe that no matter what we lose in life, we can still make it, but if we ever lose our hope in Jesus, if we ever lose our joy in Christ, if we ever lose our faith in God or our praise for our salvation found in the Blood of Jesus Christ, then we have truly lost it all. When our hope is in the economy, when our joy is in material possessions, when our faith is in man, we stand at high risk of losing our praise. But when our hope, joy and faith rest in Jesus Christ our Redeemer who has conquered death and hell, we have a reason to PRAISE!!!!!! Enjoy this video by Anointed Praise!!

My Very Present Help

A dear sister of mine gave this picture to all the mothers at church on Mother's Day. I have looked at this picture several times and it speaks to my heart every time. There is a song that comes to my mind every time I look at this picture. The words of this song go as follows:

Where do I go, When there's no one else to turn to
Who do I talk to, When nobody wants to listen
Who do I lean on, When there's no foundation stable
I go to the rock I know he's able
I go to the rock

Chorus:
I go to the rock of my salvation
I go to the stone that the builders rejected
I run to the mountain and the mountain stands by me
When the earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter
When I need a friend I go to the rock

Where do I go, When the storms of life are threatening
Who do I turn to, When the winds of sorrow blow
And is there a refuge in the time of Tribulation
I go to the rock I know he's able
I go to the rock

Words by Dottie Rambo

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble!
It is so comforting to know that I can go to the Rock any time I need to. When there's no one else to talk to, I can go to the Rock, when no one wants to listen, I can go to the Rock. When the storms of life are raging and I need a shelter, I can go to the Rock. When I need a refuge in the times of tribulation, I can go to the rock. When I need strength for the journey, I can go to the Rock. When I don't have the strength to make it, Praise God I can lean on the Rock!! I am so thankful that My God is a very present help! When I need a shelter and when I need a friend, I go to the Rock!!

He Rescued Me

I love this picture!! It reminds me of the day Jesus saved my soul. I was drowning in sin but Jesus rescued me. My life was so meaningless until I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. He is My Everything!
