I haven't done Tuesday Tunes in a while, but I got some great, uplifting ones for ya'll today! Enjoy! 1. Whom Shall I Fear [God of Angel Armies]- Chris Tomlin Favorite Lyrics: And nothing formed against me shall stand You hold the whole world in Your hands I'm holding on to Your promises I know who goes before me I know who stands behind The God of angel armies Is always by my side Fun Fact: I have been singing the chorus to this song all last week before I realized the song was "Whom Shall I Fear" which was the topic of my blog post last week! How awesome is that!? 2. The More I Seek You-Kari Jobe This song is so peaceful and gives me all the feels! I fell in love when I discovered it last week!

Lately the song "My Lord Can" has been on my mind. "My Lord can walk upon the raging sea, And He can calm the waves that threaten me; And He can heal my broken heart again, And He can heal my broken heart again." It's summer again, which mean church camp is right around the corner. While I was growing up I never really had the opportunity to go and honestly I was never interested in going. These past few years, however, I have secretly really wanted to go. But I've always been afraid. "My Lord can touch the flow’rs that fail to bloom, And He can make their blossoms fill the room; And He can make the sun shine bright again, And He can make the sun shine bright again. " I've never had friends in the church because I moved around a lot growing up and I was never the one who was able to jump right into a situation and make friends with people my age. If I'm being honest I always felt judged every time I tried. So when summer hit and talk about camp began to surface I made up my mind. I wasn't going. I was ok without it. "My Lord can see the snares that wait for me, And should I fail or fall, He’s quick to see; And He can pick me up to stand again, And He can pick me up to stand again." But inside I wasn't. In fact, it was eating at me when I made my decision. Pieces were even falling together in my favor for me to be able to go and I was still turning it down. All because I was scared. I was letting other people and their opinions of me (or possible opinions of me) control my happiness. Control my life. I knew I had to take a leap of faith and set myself free from that fear. My Lord can take care of the rest. "My Lord can see across the great divide, And He can search the hidden heart inside; And He can bring the children home again, And He can bring the children home again." The fact that I was so distraught over not going and then everything falling into place just tells me The Lord wants me there. He knows what lies ahead and His peace has be over me since I decided to go. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7 KJV) Fear has always been a struggle of mine. But me deciding to face my fear and go to camp is finally taking that step of freeing myself from all that scares me. Ok, maybe not all that scares me (I will promise you I will NEVER go skydiving even if you paid me!) But the fears that are trying to control my life and keep me from being the best possible version of myself, it's time for those fears to be gone. Because what do I have to fear when "My Lord Can"? The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalms 27:1 KJV) In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. (Psalms 56:11 KJV) Much love and God bless. -X Welcome to another Wonderful Wednesday everyone! I realize I have been hit and miss with my Wonderful/Thankful post's lately but I hope everyone is remembering to take some time each week and remember all that we have to be thankful for! My Wonderful Wednesday posts for today involves an experience I had last week. I won't go into full detail with the dream I had. Instead, I'll share just a portion of what went on in my dream. "In the dream I was surrounded by a lot of people. It was like a gathering of people at someones house. I saw my grandpap Joe Calabrese (who passed away years ago) walk outside and I started to scream "Pap! Pap!" I followed him outside and then I saw my grandma Vicki Calabrese (who also passed away years ago). I started to scream for her as well but they both got in a car and left. Everyone could see me screaming for them and running after them but I was the only one who could see them." They were so vivid in my dream and I was so happy to see them. I constantly wish they were still here and that I could be able to talk with them about the things of the church. It was so wonderful to get a visit from them and that The Lord allowed me to see them once again. Don't forget to share something Wonderful today God has done for you! What are you thankful for? Share in a comment below or on the Facebook page! Much love and God bless, -X This video popped up on my Facebook yesterday and I clicked on it because the link was titled "Possibly the Best Dating Advice You'll Hear All Year." I was ready to huff and puff at it, or laugh at how silly it was. I was definitely laughing, but only because how he relays the message to get your attention. I absolutely love the points he makes! To quote a passage from the video "I think it's a good idea to occupy your street and just keep on occupying your street and eventually if you occupy your street faithfully enough you're going to find someone who is occupying their street...You can occupy you street in such a way where, when you start getting romantically inclined, you don't have to get off your street and go search for somebody else...you want somebody who is about Jesus in such a way where the only way you can find this person is if you go so deeply into the things of God because that's where they occupy..." I think this is a great video to watch, not only for those who are single, but for all young people! It really is the best dating advice I've heard in a long time! Enjoy! Much love and God bless, -X
