Journals - The most important thing

Journals are there when you are mad, sad, or happy. You can write down what ever you want, unless you have a pesky brother, that always wants to find it, for all you Girls.
There are multiple types of Journals like;
1. Diary
2. Prayer Journal
3. God Journal
4.  or a basic book of paper that you write down anything and everything.

The first journal, is a diary. It's a journal that you write down your feelings, ideas, tell about your day, or for girls which guy your into.

The second journal is a prayer journal. It's where you write down your prayers or important bible verses, for example:
         Dear God,
                        I wish for sweet dreams and great love. I yearn for images of something/one for me to pray for.
                                         Amen

The third one is a God Journal. We all have one whether you know it or not. It's in your mind. When God speaks to you he's basically writing in your journal. I know in mine there are multiple pages of them saying "Follow me with your heart, not your senses" or "Pastor McGarvey."  My youths pastor's might say "Even though they might be annoying love them!" or "Treat them he third onewith love, respect, and they'll do the same for you."

The third one is probably the most important to me.


The fourth one is basically explained eveything up there in the list.


I hope you have a blessed week and may God's love run through you to others,

Trish Lober - Singer, Songwriter, and Piano Player

I have a piano teacher, a really good one, or some people know her as a singer/song writer. Her name is Trish Lober. Her newest song is called "My Rock". It's about who/what is your rock. In this song she says that her rock is Jesus. Which is true.



I recently had an interview with her. I asked her the following questions about her song "My Rock" :


1) What called you to write this song? 


Her Answer:
The song, "My Rock" was probably birthed out of my devotional time with the Lord in the mornings. I believe I was thinking about how God never changes - He is "immutable". I decided to do a re-write of the song a few years ago, which is when I re-named it. I was thinking about our country and the "signs of the times" and thus wrote the new lyrics around this topic - how we can have peace in an circumstances if Jesus is our Rock. 


2) How long have you been singing? 


Her Answer:
Well . . . that's a tough one because I have never considered myself a singer! A songwriter, yes, but not a singer. I have only been singing my songs for approximately 12 years. I have been writing songs for 33 years though!! I started off singing my songs, however I then had no desire to do this and only pursued songwriting. Around the year 2000, the Lord was impressing me to sign my own songs . . . so, though I has absolutely no confidence in my voice, I went forth in obedience and began to sing publicly again. I believe that, as I have been obedient to what he has called me to do and have been diligent to try to improve my voice, He has made it sound much different that what it did 12 years ago. 


3) What is the main idea behind this song? 
Her Answer:
Jesus is unchangeable - a rock - an anchor, if you will. So, the idea behind the song is that if our hope and trust is in Him, we will not be shaken. We can have peace and joy in the midst of the storm if he is our rock. 


4) What are you wanting your listeners to get out of your song? 
Her Answer: 
I want them to be inspired to make Jesus THEIR ROCK!!!!

Dear Cell Phone

Dear Cell Phone,

Today I woke up and saw you laying there. You’re just another distraction. You cannot bring me back to the lord. Let my bible do that. You cannot show me how to be a better Christian. Let my youth pastor do that. You cannot tell me that I am getting off track with my faith. Only my friends and family can do that.

But, do not let this letter fool you. Yes, I do like how you let me stay in touch with my friends in this day and age. Yes, I do like how you can let me get on the internet for a price of $30. Yes, I can talk to my family or friends on the go. But, you cannot equal what a good old-fashioned talk can do.

If you’ll do your job which is just to let me use you when I absolutely need to. I would really appreciate it. Also, If you let my church family be a steady foundation instead of a signal that can die if you go through a tunnel.

It would be very much appreciate it!

Made to Love

Have you ever heard the song "Made to love" by tobyMac? It is amazing!!!

He is really Good.
Here are the music lyrics;
Made to Love Written and sung by TobyMac

The dream is fading, now I'm staring at the door
I know its over cause my feet have hit the cold floor
Check my reflection, I ain't feelin what I see
It's no mystery
Whatever happened to a passion I could live for
What became of the flame that made me feel more
And when did I forget that...

I was made to love you
I was made to find you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me
Never would you leave me I was made to love
and be loved by you

The dream's alive with my eyes opened wide
Back in the ring you've got me swinging for the grand prize
I feel the haters spittin vapors on my dreams
But I still believe
I'm reachin out, reachin up, reachin over
I feel a breeze cover me called Jehovah
And daddy I'm on my way
Cause I was made to love...

I was made to love you
I was made to find you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me

Never would you leave me I was made to love
and be loved by you

I was made to love you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me
Never would you leave me I was made to love
and be loved by you

(nah, nah, nah, nah - nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
(nah, nah, nah, nah - nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Anything I would give up for you (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Everything, I'd give it all away (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Anything I would give up for you (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Everything, I'd give it all away (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Anything I would give up for you (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Everything, I'd give it, I'd give it all away, Oh yeah

Cause I was made to love you (I was made to love you)
Yeah I was made to love you (I was made to find you)
Cause I was made to love you (I was made to adore you, made just for you) (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
