Joy and Strength (Christian life and music)

I have been waiting for some email responses lately, some of which can potentially change my life.  It has been nerve wracking for me. I've prayed about it, gave it all to God, and yet it still weighs on my heart and mind - the uncertainty, the wondering, and the not knowing. It's hard to truly let go sometimes.  I believe I trust God with my whole heart.  And yet when there are some issues on the line that affect my life, affect my immediate future, and just plain can either make life harder or easier for me, I give in to anxiety. It is a miserable place to live!  But I do not need to stay in that miserable state of mind. Especially when I belong to omnipotent God who is for me, on my side, ever watching out for me, and doing all sorts of wonderful things on my behalf behind the scenes.   How do I know He does all of these and more?  He promises to do them.  And if you are a child of God, you too have the same promises from His infallible Word. We will still have to wait on so

  Today is a song day!  I've been studying about Christ's coming back for us and wanted to encourage you to think on the same.  I wrote this Scripture song, "We Will Meet in the Air" on I Thessalonians 4:17-18.   First of all, the thought of flying excites me!  Yeehah!  And with no fear because we will be held in the absolute power of our Lord Jesus Christ as we fly outta here! Stop and think on that for a moment.  The power of Christ is powerful enough, and then some, to literally raise the dead out of their graves to bring them with Him to heaven.  Then, we're next!  The millions of us who belong to Jesus will be Raptured with Him - He will lift millions of us up, flying heavenward to be with Him!  Talk about power! For those left behind?  All will see, experience, know in that moment that Jesus Christ is Lord.  They will have "missed the boat" - and this is the perfect analogy because Christ compares His return to the days of Noah and how all but Noah
