Winter



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.

Spontaneity

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`
