Shadowfeet

Brooke Fraser

Walking stumbling, on these shadow feet

towards home, a land that I've never seen

I am changing; less and less asleep

made of different stuff, than when I began

And I have sensed it all along

Fast approaching is the day

When the world is falling out from under me

I'll be found in You, still standing

When the sky rolls up

and mountains fall on their knees 

when time and space are through 

I'll be found in You 

There's distraction buzzing in my head

saying `in the shadows, it's easier to stay'

But I've heard rumours, of true realities 

whispers of a well lit way

When the world is falling out from under me

I'll be found in You, still standing

When the sky rolls up

and mountains fall on their knees 

when time and space are through

I'll be found in You

You make all things new

You make all things new!!

Purpose

"TODAY IS YOUR BEST DAY BECAUSE OF...

HIS PREPARATION

`And, yet O Lord, you are our father

We are the clay, and you are the potter.

We all are formed by your hand'

Isaiah 64:8

`God is forming you for his

purposes and molding you as a vessel 
fit for the Masters use.

The vessel He is shaping you into 
will have no errors in its design.

Do not think that your vessel needs to be a certain
 shape or size to be significant.

God may shape you into a tiny vessel that 
can easily be used to pour oil into the wounds

of others; 
He may shape you as a candle and place you
in a dark place to shine for him.
He may shape you as a cup 
to bring living water to a thirsty soul;

He may shape you into a handheld basin that 
can humbly be used to wash a disciple's feet..."

Trust

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;

do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do,

and he will show you which path to take.

Brave 

Nicole Nordeman

`The gate is wide

the road is paved in moderation

The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in

Welcome to the middle ground

You're safe and sound 

and until now it's where I've been

Cause it's fear that ties me down to everything

But it's love, Your love, that cuts the strings

So long status quo, I think I just let go 

You make me want to be brave

The way it always was

Is no longer good enough

You make me want to be brave, brave

Brave`
