Wednesday Worship: Addictive Love, Anniversary Love

A special song selection today. Addictive Love by BeBe and CeCe Winans.

Today's my 20th wedding anniversary.

A lot of people, when these major anniversaries occur, say, "I never would have thought..."

I can't say that.

I never thought we wouldn't make it. When I said, "I do", I meant it. I can't imagine us any other way. Perhaps that's "Addictive Love".

Oh, there have been times when things got nip and tuck. Times when we had to have serious discussions to decide whether going on together was the way to go.

Even then, I assumed we'd find our way out of the jungle of whatever issue was threatening to consume us.

We did.

And here we are.

Babe, thank you for 20 years. The good and the tough, the ups and the downs.

Thank God for 20 years of marriage.  The good and the tough, the ups and the downs. (See, He's the 3rd spoke in this marriage wheel and definitely the reason the wheel is still turning.)

Here's to a lifetime more.

Peace & Blessings,

Patricia

Wednesday Worship: You Put The Light In Me

You put the light in me...

Got this one from a new FB friend.  That's why I love social media.  We will only get better if we draw closer to, not farther from, each other.

The spark,
The shot to the heart,
You are the hope that leads me out of the dark.
You let your love shine down
So that the world can see,
You put the light in me.

Are you shining your light?

Peace & Blessings,

Patricia

Wednesday Worship: Nobody Greater

Searched all over,
Couldn't find nobody.
I looked high and low,
Still couldn't find nobody.
Nobody greater, nobody greater,
Nobody greater than You.

I heard other people cover this song for the longest...and didn't like it.  Tempo was changed, usually too slow, and song just didn't speak to me.

But then I heard the original, and now I can't get it out of my head.  Love the smooth music and love the simplicity of the lyrics.

Is there anyone greater than Jesus?

Nobody greater, nobody greater...

Peace & Blessings,

Patricia

Blogging Women of Faith 2011 in Tampa

The Women of Faith conference is coming to Tampa, and I'll be blogging it!

I'm so looking forward to the event, this time of sharing God's love and grace with other inspired women, women over the top!

Wednesday Worship: We're Going to Make It

No matter what the test, 
Whatever comes our way, 
We're going to make it.


With Jesus on our side,
Things will work out fine.
We're going to make it.

I've loved this song forever.  When I heard it on gospel radio the other day, I had to look for a video.  Couldn't find a live one to share, but this will do.  Just listen...

The tests and trials don't stop coming.  Not in this life.  You just have to know, that someway, somehow, with Jesus, you're going to make it.

Peace & Blessings,

Patricia

Wednesday Worship: Rescue

You are the source of life
I can't be left behind
No one else will do
I will take hold of You


I need You Jesus to come to my rescue
Where else can I go?
There's no other Name by which I am saved
Capture me with grace
I will follow You


My heart is Yours for life
I need Your hand in mine
No one else will do
Lord I put my trust in You

He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
   he drew me out of deep waters.
He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
   from my foes, who were too strong for me.
They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
   but the LORD was my support.
He brought me out into a spacious place;
   he rescued me because he delighted in me -- 2 Samuel 17:22

Do you need rescuing? Do you know the Rescuer?

Peace & Blessings,

Patricia
