I still find myself having a hard time finding things to write about. I'll have these random posting ideas, but not sure if there's enough to be said so it feels like my wheels are spinning and yet I'm going nowhere. LOL..
With that said, I'll keep it "light" today by sharing something neat I found on a friend's blog, and then a video that I "borrowed" from my friend Lisa.
So the freebie is this: Brent Riggs over at ...where laughter lives: The Riggs Family Blog, has created a "linky" system that's FREE for the public to use. There is a more well known one, but I hear it's not completely reliable. Anyway, Brent has been using this on the family blog for months and he says it works beautifully.
Now, on to the video...
This is the description of the video on facebook, "Taking their inspiration the Afro-American church music, the Heritage Mass Choir presents original Korean Gospel music". I've heard Kirk Franklin sing this song, and found it listed as "My Desire".
The video is AWESOME! (I'll post the lyrics just below)
My desire to please you, to be more and more like you Jesus. Each and everyday,
I lift my hands and say , I want to be more like you. (Repeat)
I give you my life, take me in your arms and hold me Jesus. I give you my
heart,I know that you can mend these broken pieces.
I'm totally, I'm totally, Totally committed to you.
Repeat chorus
I give you my life , take me in your arms and hold me Jesus. I give you my
heart , I know that you can mend these broken pieces.
I give you my life,
My heart,
My soul,
Take control.
I love you 4x the whole choir
Sopranos (4x I love you)
Altos (4x I love you)
I love you 4x the whole choir
I'm totally (5x)
One more time I'm totally , Totally committed to you
Kirk Franklin My Desire lyrics
Alrighty, my friends, I think I'll go now. Whoops.. I almost forgot to tell you THANKS for the Father's Day wishes for Link. I read him each one (from my cell).. he's not a man of many words, but he DID smile.. ☺ I know he REALLY APPRECIATED it! Again, THANK YOU! ☺

Hi Tonya!
I sometimes find it difficult to come up with things to post about, so you're not alone! I'll have to check out that website you mentioned. Thanks for the uplifting video. You inspire us all!
Sometimes things hit out of nowhere and we don't know how we can handle it. The Lord's known from all eternity every thing that's going to happen and has been preparing a way.

When I have little to say I am quiet. My best thoughts come while walking the ilse of a grocery store, or sitting on a park bench watching my children play, only to sit at the keyboard and try to render those profound thoughts. Oh well, life is funny like that.
I enjoy each and every one of your posts!! Can't always see the videos - because of my computer - but I love your thoughts!! Have a wonderful week, friend!
I am at the frustation stage of bloggin (is there such a thing..LOL). I can TOTALLY relate to the first paragraph of this post and i'm now questioning if I should even bother. Thanks so much for sharing your struggle with posting......It's been an encouragement.

Psalms 18:2-6 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

What a beautiful testimony you gave about your son. What a woman of strength! You mention in your post that you have trouble finding things to talk about. I'm kind of new to the blog thing, but I've taught composition for years. To have the desire to write and the ideas that burst into that desire to communicate, you must have a mission, a purpose. I look at your heart-wrenching story and the beauty of how your faith sustained you and that inspires me, but I also want to how you go on, how your family mends. There are probably quite a few women out there who need that helping hand to walk stay in faith.
I'm a firm believer that God sends us Spiritual Mothers to help us, but we have to be willing to mother out of our immediate family.
Thanks for sharing your story!
