Strong Enough by Matthew West

You must
You must think I'm strong
To give me what I'm going through

Well, forgive me
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own

I know I'm not strong enough to be
everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
For the both of us

Well, maybe
Maybe that's the point
To reach the point of giving up

Cause when I'm finally
Finally at rock bottom
Well, that's when I start looking up
And reaching out

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough

I am so glad that I don't have to take care of things on my own.... God has my back and I put my faith in Him! God has an awesome plan for me, he hasn't forgot, he hasn't messed up... My time line just isn't the same as his! So, Lord give me the patience, because I know you've got this under control!

Here To Serve

Servolution by Dino Rizzo

"It is true that we cannot do everything. But we absolutely cannot let that thought keep us from doing what we can."

"We need to see people through the eyes of God's infinite love."

"This means that right where we are inour every day lives is where our servolution must begin."

"All of the little things speak kindness in every language."

"My point in all of this is that when we engage our hearts and serve from a place of honesty and love, with no strings attached, we will have opportunities to display the love of Christ to every person on the planet."

"We are the hands and feet of the gospel, and if we as His followers don't serve people with generous hearts willing to represent Jesus, no one will. But if we do we can be sure that God is with us."

"We know that if our servolution does not engage the poor and those who have not yet been reached, we are just wasting time."

"I was reminded that sometime serving is very inconvenient, and sometimes the cost of time, energy, and emotion seems too great, but in the end the reward and fulfillment of serving completely overwhelm and outweigh the cost."

"We give and serve with the purpose of showing people the hope they can find in Jesus. It's generosity driven by eternity- doing all we can to plunder hell and populate heaven."

"We can simply do our part and then trust that God will take care of the rest."

"Our servolution can't save anybody; it's just there to introduce people to the love of Jesus and to draw upon the work God is already doing in that person's life."

"The clock is ticking. We cannot simply spend our time making our lives more comfortable while so many around us are going to hell."

They Have Arrived

Well, they are here... Eight little guys.... 5 black and 3 tan... I love them already, so finding homes for them is going to be very hard on me. If you don't know me all that well I am the girl who saves all animals, and the uglier they are the more I love them. I used to chase my hound dog Rolo around our 63 acres of land taking away every turtle he would find and placing it in a fenced area by our house so he couldn't chew them up. I am the girl who was given my 5th grade class pet by my teacher (gerbil named BUG) because she knew I would love him and take care of him.. I am the girl who never found a stray cat that wasn't mine. My mom would start off really tough, but 30 minutes later we would have a new addition to the family. I am the girl who goes to the animal shelter to get A DOG, and comes home with two because I didn't want the other one to be alone while I was at school.. If we went to the shelter for a cat, always without exception came home with 2 (and I always got the ugliest 2 because I knew they would never get adopted) Now lets think about this, my parents caved wayyyy to easily. I don't think I ever just got one animal except my horse, Duffy/Pilgrim ( yes he had two names, my dad didn't like Duffy so he names him too lol)

So having said all of that, I am not the girl who just gives animals away... This is going to be a huge challenge for me and I have already told my husband that I will probably cry every step of the way. Now, yes I am finding homes for my puppies, but I will not sit at WalMart and give them away to the first crack head who comes up and wants one. I will find good homes one way or another. My brother is taking 2 and I am hoping my beautiful mom will take one. I have a couple of friends who want one too so I think that will make it easier for me. Anyway, as my dad always says "this too shall pass" and I know that :))))) just wish I had land so I could keep them alllll, yes I said alllll...
