This is where I belong because I know that I am good enough in God's Eyes and that I have a place in this world. I don't understand your ways of anything I've been through when everything falls apart I give it all to you. I don't know what to say and I don't know what to do, so Lord please take my heart I give it all, I give it all to you. I give myself away, I give myself away so that you can use me. God Help Me to know that the Broken Things you Have Mended are Beautiful Things that You created. Thank you for being a good good Father.
This blog is about most of what I remembered from childhood to growing up, and some encouragement, reviews of movies and shows, and just other fun things that I like to write about. I'm thankful to continue this blog to share things with those who read it and those who see it because I want to share more. I'm grateful to share what I hope will give people joy and happiness when they read this.

Battles Outreach Message
God helps us as we face battles. We face them in life, we face them in the world around us. We don't go through them alone. When we think of battles we think of how there are battles that we face with health, spiritual battles, battles with those in the army, battles around us where we don't know what to do but we know when we give it to God and we let Him take control, we know it's in His Hands. We can take things like letting it be in His Hands and giving our worries and anxieties to Him in prayer. We don't have to be afraid, as long as we have Faith and Trust in Jesus and we put our Hope in Him. God will get us to where we need in the battles that we face. I want to share just a lyric of a song I wrote for Hydrocephalus Awareness Month. The song I wrote and had composed by my piano teacher awhile back is a song called The Battle I With Others Face, now this song means a lot to me because not only did I write it for awareness month, but I wrote it in hopes others would know they are never alone in a struggle or trial they face either. Here is the lyric I want to share with all of you tonight. The lyric says: Any other time, I'm trying to be strong, but now I know that I don't have to face all of this alone. I wanted to share this line because I want all of you to be reminded tonight as well that no matter what battle, struggle, trial, no matter what it is you're facing right now, we don't have to go through any of it alone because God will always be in our hearts. He is always with us and He will never ever leave us. I want to share a quote with all of you now and the quote says this: Outside Of Christ I Am Weak In Christ I Am Strong. Another quote that I would like to share tonight says: Be Brave God Gives His Hardest Battles To His Bravest Soldiers. When we think of this, or when I think of it at least it reminds us and it reminds me in who is fighting our battles. Which brings me to the song I want to now share. The song is called Battles by The Afters. The lyrics say: This current is trying to wreck me, Like castles of sand, castles of sand, My fear, like an enemy army, Is marching again, but I'm making a stand, You surround me on every side, Your love is my armor, I fear no evil, Darkness runs from Your light, So I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid, You're going before me and oceans are parting
You're fighting my battles, When my feet are failing and my heart is shaking, You're fighting my battles, You're fighting my battles, You're fighting my battles, You're fighting my battles, Time after time, You're my refuge
You heal every scar, You're guarding my heart, Your promise, the hope that I cling to, My rescue, my friend, You come rushing in, And surround me on every side
Your love is my armor, I fear no evil, Darkness runs from Your light, So I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid
The next quote that I would like to share says: In the midst of your battles, never forget that God loves you and He has a plan for you.
The scriptures I would like to share is Jeremiah 29 verse 11 that says: For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you but to give you a hope and a future. The second scripture that I would like to share says: Isaiah 41 verse 10 says: Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. The third scripture I want to share says: 1 Timothy 2 verse 4 says: Who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of truth. The last two scriptures I want to share are John 17 verse 17 that says: Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. The last scripture I want to share is Psalm 18 verse 39 that says: For you equipped with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me.
God Has Never Lost A Battle, And He Is Not About To Lose One Now. Trust Him!
David Was The Last One We Would Have Chosen To Fight The Giant But He Was Chosen By God.
God Has Defended You In Battles You Didn't Even Know About.
''God Always Gives His Best To Those Who Leave The Choice With Him.''
When God's Warriors Are Down On Their Knees, The Battle Is Not Over; It Has Just Begun.
Fight All Your Battles On Your Knees.
Hand It Over To God The Battle Is Not Yours.
His Presence enables and equips us to fight our battles meanwhile remaining at peace.
When you feel overwhelmed and you're tempted to take everything into your own hands, you have to make yourself be still. The Battle Is The Lord's.
The Battle Is The Lord's, take courage in the fight
the weapons of this war are praises lifted high
My confidence is sure, My God has gone before
I'll sing into the night, The Battle Is The Lord's.
God is fighting your battles, arranging things in your favor, and making a way, even when you don't see a way.
Are you past the point of weary? Is your burden weighin' heavy? Is it all too much to carry? Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus, Do you feel that empty feeling? 'Cause shame's done all its stealin', And you're desperate for some healin'
Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus, He makes a way where there ain't no way, Rises up from an empty grave
Ain't no sinner that He can't save, Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus, His love is strong and His grace is free, And the good news is I know that He, Can do for you what He's done for me, Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus And let my Jesus change your life.
Prepared For Battle
Trained
In The Word Of God
Armed
With The Sword Of The Spirit
Trusting
In God For Victory
God will give me everything I need for every battle I face.
My Battle Belongs To The Lord
When you turn your worries into worship, God will turn your battles into blessings.
God Has Never Lost A Battle
I might lose battles but I will not lose my faith and the will to keep going with my God.
Fight Your Battles Through Prayer, And Win Your Battles Through Faith
The Harder The Battle, The Sweeter The Victory.
I Thought It Was The End But God Whispered: ''It Is Only A Battle, War Is Already Won ''
You can have it all, the war was never mine
Through everything, you clear the way to make it right
You give me purpose, and you take me as I am
Do what you want with my life, oh
Each battle I face you've already won
I'll never be less than the work that you've done
You hold my future, let go of my past
You're finishing what you've begun
So I'm letting go
Prayer is the best weapon to win our unseen battles
When all I see is the battle, You see my victory
When all I see is the mountain, You see a mountain moved
And as I walk through the shadow, Your love surrounds me
There's nothing to fear now for I am safe with You
So when I fight, I'll fight on my knees
With my hands lifted high
Oh God, the battle belongs to You
And every fear I lay at Your feet
I'll sing through the night
Oh God, the battle belongs to You
And if You are for me, who can be against me? Yeah
For Jesus, there's nothing impossible for You
When all I see are the ashes, You see the beauty
Thank You God
When all I see is a cross, God, You see the empty tomb
So when I fight, I'll fight on my knees
With my hands lifted high
Oh God, the battle belongs to You
And every fear I lay at Your feet
I'll sing through the night
Oh God, the battle belongs to You
The Lord Will Fight For You, And You Have Only To Be Silent
There Is No Easy Way To Victory.
The Highest Values In Life Must Be Fought For And Won.
We look at these things and we see how God is always with us, how He has not left us and is always by our side.
You hear me when I call
You are my morning song
Though darkness fills the night
It cannot hide the light
Whom shall I fear?
You crush the enemy
Underneath my feet
You are my sword and shield
Though troubles linger still
Whom shall I fear?
I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
My strength is in your name
For you alone can save
You will deliver me
Yours is the victory
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
Give It To God
Joshua 1 verse 9 says: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
This is how I fight my battles
(There's a table)
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
It may look like I'm surrounded
But I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded
But I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded
But I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded
But I'm surrounded by You
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
At Your table
Life Is A Battle
Fear Is The Enemy!
At the first sign of sickness,
trouble, or turmoil,
fear strikes at your heart.
Fight back with your faith,
by being calm with the Lord.
Fear will have no hold on you!
Defend yourself--
by being still with your heart,
by being calm in your actions,
For Jesus does all things well, and by being quiet in your thoughts,
For Jesus is in control.
The Lord has your life in His hands!
You need not be afraid.
You need only to trust Jesus.
For when you are calm in the Lord,
Fear Has No Hold On You!
Here are some things that I would like to end on tonight.
The first thing I would like to end on says this: When the going gets tough
And my strength's not enough
I see You showing up like never before
This battle for my heart
You took on from the start
You are the peace when my mind's at war
And oh
You will never stop fighting for me
When I can't fight for myself
Every word is a promise You keep
'Cause You love me like nobody else
You stand up for me in the darkest night
When my faith is weak You're still by my side
You will never stop fighting for me
You will never stop fighting for me
The second thing I would like to share says: We fall. We break. We fail. But then, We Rise. We Heal. We Overcome.
The third thing says: 'You may have to fight a battle more than once, to win it.'
The fourth thing I would like to share is lyrics from a song by Rend Collective and the lyrics of the song say this: Let our praises remind all the darkness
Of how great and how mighty our God is
For the battle belongs to the Lord and no one else
We are standing in holy defiance
We're declaring aloud in the silence
That the battle belongs to the Lord and no one else, no one else
In the chaos, the crisis
The troubles, the trials
The shadows, the sorrows
The long nights, the hard fight
We are the prophets, the voice in the darkness
Declaring the battle is Yours
Another song I would like to share says this: When it looks like I'm surrounded by the enemy
And it feels like hope is far beyond my reach
I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle
The battle is Yours
I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle
The battle is Yours, always Yours
Oh, the battle is Yours, Jesus
When the seas agree that they should rage against me
And the storm it pours its wrath upon my head
There's a name that's sure to save, it's never-failing
Jesus, my salvation, and my shield
I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle
The battle is Yours, always Yours
I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle
The battle is Yours, it's always Yours
I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle
The battle is Yours, it's always Yours
I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle
The battle is Yours, it's always Yours
We realize through all of this that no matter how many times the enemy tries to knock us down, God will always pick us back up and He continues to fight for us daily.
Here is another song that I would like to share with you.
The lyrics of this song say: When lies tell me I'm on my own
And I take my eyes off You, I start to fall
Help me to rest in
The promise that You gave me
When I wait on You, I will rise
Oh-oh-oh, Your love is fighting for me
Oh-oh-oh, pushing through all my fears
I can stand my ground I don't need to run
Your love is fighting for me
Oh-oh-oh, Your love is fighting for me
By Your grace I've come this far
Your mercy holds me and carries me through
My God, You've always been faithful
Your promises are true for me
God's promises are always true, and is love is unconditional because God is love. He will always continue to fight for us because His love never runs out on us.
We then begin to also see and realize that The Battle Is The Lord's and that The Battle does belong to Him.
The weapon may be formed, but it won't prosper
When the darkness falls, it won't prevail
'Cause the God I serve knows only how to triumph
My God will never fail
Oh, my God will never fail
I'm gonna see a victory
I'm gonna see a victory
For the battle belongs to You, Lord
I'm gonna see a victory
I'm gonna see a victory
For the battle belongs to You, Lord (oh yeah)
There's power in the mighty name of Jesus
Every war He wages He will win
I'm not backing down from any giant
'Cause I know how this story ends
Yes, I know how this story ends
Gonna worship my way through this battle
Gonna worship my way through, hey
I'm gonna see a victory
I'm gonna see a victory
For the battle belongs to You, Lord
I'm gonna see a victory
I'm gonna see a victory
For the battle belongs to You, Lord
Life is a hard battle anyway. If we laugh and sing a little as we fight the good fight of freedom, it makes it all go easier. I will not allow my life's light to be determined by the darkness around me.
Know thy self, Know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.
This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides
And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame
And I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
And this is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand
I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
All of my life in every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
