While we sing

yet another picture made for school...i was surprised that colouring with pencil crayons actually worked as well as it did...i had many doubts! i just like using paints better but yeah anyway it was okay:)
anyway here are some lyrics for a song that was a huge inspiration for me lately!

I’ve sat by far too long

And I’ve watched the hurting suffer on their own

I have chances everyday

To live like You, die to myself

Give Your love away

And I wonder why I feel so empty inside

(chorus)While I sing la la la la la la la la la

As the hungry roam the streets

La la la la la la la la la

As the broken are on their knees

La la la la la la la la la

I keep singing

We are frozen, we are still

But we’re called to be a city on a hill

And as our melodies resound

We cannot hear the silent cry

This world is screaming out

And we wonder why we feel so empty inside

(to chorus)

Remember salvation’s day

When Jesus washed our sins away

The lost are crying out to be saved

While we sing la la la la la la la la la

As the hungry roam the streets

La la la la la la la la la

As the broken are on their knees

La la la la la la la la la

We keep singing

But just a song won't heal

The bleeding wound

Church wake up

We’re sleeping in an empty tomb

Church arise, arise and shine

Shake yourself from the dust

God is calling us to go

When i heard this song it hit me hard that while people are crying out for help i sit in my happy little life and sing...yes they may be songs of praise to God ,which is all good, but he is calling me to help his lost lambs.And just a song won't heal. How can i just sit and sing while the hungry roam the streets,wounded and bleeding, yearning for something more!How can i sit in my little comfortable circle and do nothing...how can i not be screaming it out for the world to hear that the Jesus i serve is the wonderful-est best-est friend ever and that he'll be their friend to! God has given me so much and i needa share it with everyone! i need to arise and go and tell them of His incredible love! So my resolve is to stop being so selfish, to give of myself,to follow His call wherever He leads as scary as it may be. And with this resolve comes a great peace and happiness! i can't wait to shake myself from the dust and go:) Thank you Jesus for your great love and patience!! 

btw you can hear this song down in the little doobleedo...widget..watever you call it..

Contrast

and here is something i read the other day that inspired me alot so i thought id share:)
The real secret of success
Most people spend their life working in a job they don't like, for a boss they don't respect, with people they don't get along with, to make money to buys stuff they don't even need. And if they endure this lifestyle long enough, we call them a success.
 Jesus called John the Baptist the greatest man to ever live. And what was his life philosophy? "He (Jesus) must become greater and greater, and i must become less and less" (John 3:30). He wanted to become less and less visible as Jesus took over more and more of his life. And Jesus called him the greatest man who ever lived.

the world says...                                               

"You need to find yourself"

God says...

"You're lost..I need to find you

the world says...

"Follow your heart!"

 God says...

 "Your heart is deceitful...follow me"

the world says...

"Love yourself!"

 God says...                                        

 "Hate your old self...love me instead."

the world says...

"Do what you want!"

 God says...                                 

"Deny yourself...Do what I want"

the world says...

"Be all you can be!" 

God says...                                 

"Let me fill you...and be more than you can be"

the world says...

'Whoever dies with the most toys wins!'

God says...  

'Get your priorities straight.Whoever dies without me loses.'                     

When God measures success, he doesn't ask, "How much have you earned?" He asks, "How faithful have you been?" Because you can never be a success unless Christ is at the center of your life. You will never be rich by clinging to the things of this world.
"And how do benefit if you gain the whole world but lose you own soul?Is anything worth more than your soul?" (Matthew 16:26)
 The way to achieve true inner harmony and happiness isn't by earning a mountain of cash, or impressing hordes of fans or even seeing your name in lights. True harmony, happiness and peace come from knowing your sins are forgiven and that you are accepted by God, despite the mistakes and wrongs you've done in the past.
 Then you can move on to the following, serving and honoring the God you loves you by letting go of the things of this life and clinging to the hope of the life to come; by being faithful to him, putting him first and trusting him for eternal results.
 In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon explores the mysteries and meaning of life. He concludes that without God at the heart of the matter, life is meaningless. Four thoughts echo throughout the book:

• Obey God, for this is the duty of every person
• Enjoy life, even though it is brief and filled with uncertainty
• Work hard, though it sometimes seems tiring and useless
• Be content, because wealth will never bring happiness

In God's eyes, a successful life is one of obedience, enjoyment, integrity and contentment. Build your life on those four pillars and, even though no one else may notice, God will call you a success.
