I entitled this blog "A Song of Deliverance". The reason I used this title is because every time I've been going through a trial God has given me a song that encouraged me and helped bring me through. It is my desire to use this blog as a way to reach out to others and share the songs of deliverance.
I'm just a simple girl who desires to serve the Lord in all that I do. I have three sibling- all younger than I am, three dogs- who all think I am their mother and follow me EVERYWHERE, and one cat-who thinks he's a dog in disguise. I try and keep busy through writing books and articles, composing music, gardening and any other projects that keep me busy.
Thank you for joining me for part four of the Still Hoping series! If you missed any of the previous posts you can check it out on some earlier posts on this blog or check out the videos on my YouTube channel (actually if you can't wait to see the last two parts of the series you can jump ahead and find them HERE).
When you start making progress and you then fall back, do you get so discouraged you don't feel like you can keep moving forward? What do you do that encourages you to take another step?
If you've been faithful and following the Still Hoping series then I am very grateful to you! Lamentations 3 is one of my favorite chapters for moments where I need encouragement and to remember that my hope is in God- not on the circumstances around me.
Well, here's part three!
What's your favorite bible chapter/verse to read when you're in those tough moments?
I wasn't sure what my first video series would be about, I had a few ideas, but nothing concrete. After having everything culminate from the last few weeks into this past weekend I decided to go with what God was using in my life right now. Although I have to admit it was still a hard choice because he's been showing me so much!
I love Lamentations 3, it's such an encouragement when you're down and out. The main point of the chapter to to have hope in God even when you are in the deepest, darkest place in your life. Naturally, that while over the next six weeks you will see some of the thoughts I had, there were many more I could have and wanted to share.
We've all faced afflictions in our life through even circumstances that surround us each day. But Jeremiah, who faced many afflictions through his life still never gave up on God. He basically couldn't give up on God because his belief that God was working was greater than his troubles. I'll get into that further, but for now, here's the first video!
I'd love to hear how God is working in your life! Have you ever been in a position like Jeremiah? What helped you to keep moving forward?
