We watched Seven Days in Utopia this weekend. It was so good. I highly recommend it. It is a great reminder about what life is all about. Perspective is everything.
Wednesday we had this amazing couple come to speak to our youth group. Kathleen is absolutely amazing. Amazing. She is such an incredible woman of God. I was so blessed to meet her in person and hear her story told in her voice. To meet Cale and to see him smile. Amazing. Again, it is all in your perspective.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:15-16
This song blesses me. God is worth my praise all the time. In the dessert of my spirit, in the fire of my trial, in my battle and in the harvest. It is all in my perspective. I choose to let my attitude be that of Christ.

Desert Song lyrics
VERSE 1:
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
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
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
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
This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand
BRIDGE:
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame
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
This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand
BRIDGE:
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow

I LOVE the "Desert Song" Jill. It is so special to me. It became my anthem while Olivia was in the hospital. I remember holding her tiny body while singing "All of my life, in every season, You are still God, I have a reason to Sing!" It was just what I needed, and still is, to remind me to trust in the goodness of God, in good times as well as the bad.
I'm glad to see you are blogging again...I love hearing from your heart!
