Because He Lives....

This past week was a trying one for me. I was having some difficulties with my job. It was a stressful and emotional week. I ended up loosing my job on Friday of last week. So now i am searching for a new job. I have decided to take a break from nannying and go back into something banking or secretarial. If anyone knows of any openings please let me know! I have experience in both. Through it all the God has been in Control and He has given me a peace. He always knows what we need. I was not making very much money in my job so maybe this is a way i am able to find a new one that pays better, so i can save more money. After a week full of stress and trials God new that i needed to be reminded that He knows whats a head and He has a plan. I was on for Worship Team this week and during our run through Sunday morning i was really just singing my heart out. We were singing a Because He Live/Victory in Jesus medley when the words sank in and hit me i broke down! What a sweet time of worship with my Lord! I was suppose to lead a couple of verses and couldn't even stop crying enough to sing. Thankfully it was during practice but it was just as powerful during the real service but God helped me keep the tears in check but the emotions were still SO Strong! Here are the words to that hit me...

Because He lives I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives
all fear is gone,

Because I know
, He holds the future,

And life is worth the living just because He lives.


and to go from that to singing Victory in Jesus it was amazing,

I heard an old, old story how
a savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me,

I heard about His groaning, of His precious bloods atoning,
then I repented of my sins and won the victory,


O Victory in Jesus My Savior forever,
He sought me, and bought me with His redeeming blood,

He loved me ere i knew Him and all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.

I heard an old, about His healing,
of His cleansing blood revealing,

How He made the lame to walk again,
and caused the blind to see,

and then i cried, 'Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit,'
And somehow Jesus came and brought to me the victory!



What a sweet sweet reminder that its Thanks be to God that i can face these hard times. He is such a Loving and Faithful God. He knows what we need and when we need it. I'm trusting in Him with all my heart!!!!
Please pray for me as i am looking for a job!
Hoping that God is working in your life as much as He has been mine!
