In joy and pain..

In joy and pain
In sun and rain
You're the same
Oh, You never let go

You Never Let Go- David Crowder Band
amazing group.. amazing song
I personally believe everyone should hear them live
at least twice in your lifetime... I have seen them 6
I have given up hope on christian music
but I have my select favorites he is my number 1

so I read this today trying to catch up on my Philippians study... profound

12-14I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back.

15-16So let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you'll see it yet! Now that we're on the right track, let's stay on it.

17-19Stick with me, friends. Keep track of those you see running this same course, headed for this same goal. There are many out there taking other paths, choosing other goals, and trying to get you to go along with them. I've warned you of them many times; sadly, I'm having to do it again. All they want is easy street. They hate Christ's Cross. But easy street is a dead-end street. Those who live there make their bellies their gods; belches are their praise; all they can think of is their appetites.

20-21But there's far more to life for us. We're citizens of high heaven! We're waiting the arrival of the Savior, the Master, Jesus Christ, who will transform our earthy bodies into glorious bodies like his own. He'll make us beautiful and whole with the same powerful skill by which he is putting everything as it should be, under and around him.

Philippians 3:12-21

this weekend went by so slow. Not the bad slow. It was packed with prayer and silence and good conversations. Open doors and closed ones. New chapters and twists. Along with some good music and great company. My heart is full. My mind is scattered. My soul is peaceful. Altogether good stuff. I'm breathing grace and peace today... heavy. The day kind of slipped out of my fingertips. Hope you all are doing well.

sleep needed.

[never let go]

much love
