Day 5

Lately I have been feeling as if I don't have a need to blog.  Like who is really even reading my posts, am I just wasting my time, or is it even worth it?  I have came to the conclusion that it's not if any one is reading, I am not wasting any time, and yes it's worth it! The enemy sure knows how to burst my bubble! So with all that said I have thought of doing things like following other blogs where you link up and do different types of posts of certain things.  I found "Story of my life" from some other blog off of Facebook and decided to tag along. ;)

It's a challenge for the month of May. I know it's Day 5 but I am gonna do this anyway! Especially for what today's challenge is even if it's 8:58 p.m.

Day 5, Sunday: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends. What makes them great? Why do you love them? If you don't have blogger friends, talk about a real-life friend or even a family member.

I would love to profess my love and devotion to Amanda Hoyt over at "The Hoyt Family" blog.  The bond her and I have is a relationship that has only came from our Father in Heaven!  When we were both going thru the most darkest days of our lives and even though we didn't know each other I feel we had HOPE that one day someone would know each others pain. We both miscarried within the same week of March 2008, but didn't meet till June of 2008 on Cafemom. Love you God-sent!

What makes her great?  She is just great overall. Always knows when to just send a text or a FB message just to say Hello, Love, How are you, etc... It's like a touch from our angels EVERYTIME we interact. Even though we live miles away we still act as if we live down the street from each other.  She always hurts when I hurt.  When I am having a bad day she listens. She is not great, she is AMAZING!!!

Why do I love her? Simple! He blessed me with the most amazing Sister in Christ! Her love for Christ, her kindness, her heart, her prayers, EVERYTHING!

LOVE YOU AMANDA!!! Thank you Father God for blessing me with one of your daughters.

It is well with my soul,
Melanie

Lyrics

That song that plays... You hear it once, twice, three times... It's a beautiful worship song... Today it touched my heart like WOW! Our church's worship team has started to write their own songs and one of them is the one that WOW'd me today. I heard it back in Easter time and then watched it many times on video on Facebook.

Today was the day. As I sang the lyrics:

Oceans rise
Hope may fade
Through my life
You remain

Yes those lyrics touched me like never before today. The Lord was showing me just yesterday that my JOY has been renewed in my life, heart, soul, body, home, EVERYWHERE. For about 2 years my joy was not in me. You may ask "why?" Well that's for another post.

Let me just say that if your hope fades away at anytime in your life, pray that the Lord will renew it. If your joy fades, ask Him to renew it. He can renew ANYTHING! Marriage, finances, relationships, ANYTHING!!!

In Psalms 51:10 it says: " Create in my a clean heart, O God.  Renew a loyal spirit within me."

Ask and you shall receive! Maybe not in your time (took 2 years) but in His time ;)

It Is Well With My Soul,
Melanie
