a good worship song

I love this song! It really puts me in my place. We used to sing it at The Village. You can listen to it on the link provided. It's rough and uncut.

The Deep

Trust the Lord with all your heart
lean not on your own understanding
In all your ways acknowledge him
and he will make your path straight
He’ll make your path straight

I acknowledge you are my savior Jesus
I acknowledge you are my lord
I trust you with my shovel
Knee deep in manure

Do not resent his rebuke
But what He knows he divides the deep
Divide the deep
He put the stars in their place
Laid the ground on which we stand
On which we stand

I acknowledge that you’re holy
I acknowledge you as king
I trust you eating gravel
And I will remain faithful

on music

I began listening to music at a young age. My mother always had beautiful music in the home. She had different tunes for when she was cooking, cleaning, reading, writing, and enteraining. I learned about the joy of music from my mother.
During my lonely years I escaped to my bedroom and listened to various artists, each coordinated with my mood. Sometimes I would play the song on repeat so I could stay in the emotion.
Music motivates me. As a cheerleader, I tumbled better with a good song. At the gymnastic center I had control of the entire system so that I would tumble effectively! I have certain songs that I write with. I have music to read with, and music to cry with. I love it.
I have very special songs that I worship with as well. I love that God gave us music to love Him with. There is a connection that I make with my Father through song.
My mom had me take piano lessons at a young age and I loved it. I love the sound of the piano.
I watched a movie called The Piano today. I identified with the main character and her passion for the piano. I feel similar, but I can't make music. I just play it. I don't know what I would do without music. In fact, it was often my parent's grounding...no music...
Music creates a stir of emotion in the soul. Halie and I used to dance around...she loved music. I loved watching her turn circles at church as she floated around with her friends...enjoying the genuine music at the Village. Maybe I passed on to her the ability to treasure a song.
Music is healing.
Music is my refuge.

Steven's Request 2

What are your three favorite days, not recurring days, but days of your life that you look back on with particular nostalgia?

1. Trinidad, Cuba April 2003. When I met David. The night David and I stayed up until 4 AM talking on the beach. I was very broken and he was the first person I laid my heart on. As silly as it sounds, I knew there was something special between us. We shared our life stories and immediatly bonded.



2. Meeting H. October 24, 2006. Going to the shelter and being lead to a small young girl in a room with 5 other children. She looked up and me and I knew she would come home with us. It didn't happen for another week.



3. My wedding day.

My three favorite places:


1. Madrid, Spain
2. La Habana and Trinidad, Cuba
3. Yucatan Peninsula especially Merida, Mexico


Yes, all outside the United States. There is something about each of those places that has changed me. I could live in any of those places. Although, legally, I can only choose 2/3. :)
