no i havent disappeared

just in case yall are wondering, no i havent disappeared.  ive been extremely busy with work, a new girlfriend and trying to figure out the next move God has in store for me.  i wanna take a few minutes to share with ya'll a song that i heard on the Christian radio station here about 3 weeks ago. its by a new group called sidewalk prophets, i love that name, and the song is called the words i would say.  read these lyrics

Three in the morning,
And I'm still awake,
So I picked up a pen and a page,
And I started writing,
Just what I'd say,
If we were face to face,
I'd tell you just what you mean to me,
I'd tell you these simple truths,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
These are the words I would say,

Last time we spoke,
You said you were hurting,
And I felt your pain in my heart,
I want to tell you,
That I keep on praying,
Love will find you where you are,
I know cause I've already been there,
So please hear these simple truths,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
These are the words I would say,

From one simple life to another,
I will say,
Come find peace in the Father,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
Thank God for each day,
His love will find a way,
These are the words I would say

when i heard this song, i knew i had to buy it from itunes.  this song has ministered to me in more ways than one, especially when i thought about giving up on ministry all together.    i aint going to preach a lot here but i was listening to my ipod when this song was played and God spoke to me and told me somebody here in JCC needed to read these lyrics.  i dont know who it is, what they are going through, but whoever it is be strong in the Lord, know that he has your life, your situation, in His hands, never give up hope, know that He is there with you during your situation and He will bring you out,  you are going to do great things, God has hand picked you to do a very special work for Him, why, cause i know, he has selected everyone of us to do a great work for him, the Bible saids so, dont live life in fear, dont be afraid to take that next step, i call it a step of faith, forgive and forget but dont forget why you are here, you are where you are for a purpose and God wont move you until that purpose is complete and finished, take your time and pray, if you dont know why you are where you are, pray, ask God to show you, He will, trust me, these are the words i would say.  like i said i dont know who needed to read this but i felt it heavy on my heart to come here and say this.  for the person or persons who needed to hear this, cause i do believe there is more than one person that needed to read this, i pray that you will allow God to take full control of your situation.  i know i havent been here much in the last month and a half and havent actually done any kind of ministering, but i do come and check my messages every other day.  if you are one of those people that needed to read this i would like to know.  either post a comment or send me a message, i would love to minister to you some more.  thanks and God bless!!!
