I love waking with praises on my lips!

For days now I have awakened with a praise song swirling through my mind.

What a wonderful way to start my day!

Psalm 34:1
I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

These lyrics from Step by Step have been on my heart this morning:

I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And Step by step You’ll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days


Yes Lord! I will follow You all of my days. I can’t help but love You. You woo me and I’m drawn. I can’t help myself but be in love with my Savior.


I know that my family doesn’t understand the relationship I have with the Lord. I’m not “holier than thou” — I’m so far from perfect it isn’t funny, BUT I know what it is like to be a slave to sin — a slave to fear. Only a person who has been a slave can truly appreciate FREEDOM. I know how doors are opened because I’ve spent years working through things to CLOSE them.

When we take a stand, it does separate us from the world. It does make us seem like we are standing on the outside looking in sometimes. I can’t help myself though. Even as I’m typing this, the lyrics to a song I love are running through my heart.

We often sing this song “You’ll Come” at our church. Please take a moment to listen to the words. This part of the song is particularly powerful: CHAINS BE BROKEN! LIVES BE HEALED! EYES BE OPENED! CHRIST IS REVEALED!

Oh Father, let Your glory fall as You respond to us! Spirit RAIN, flood into my thirty heart again. You’ll come. You’ll come.

Prophesy these words over your families. CHAINS BE BROKEN! LIVES BE HEALED! EYES BE OPENED! CHRIST IS REVEALED!
