Music Monday [Don't Give Up]


There are some days when life just gets to be too much.  These words just pass through your head.  "I give up".  Plain and simple surrender.  Some of you may have never been to this point, and to you I say ..congratulations.  Others...well you know what I am talking about.

This life is full of many sad and happy days, the emotional highs and lows ebb like a high tide of the sea.  Sometimes it's feeling based, sometimes it's based on your reality.  And then there are days when your reality collides with your deepest feelings and you just want out. 

This time your heart said it's had enough 
Sick and tired of everything that's so messed up
You don't wanna move on just playing games
Praying hard somehow that your life will change
When you feel like you don't know what to do
Stuck inside this maze you can't go through

(Chorus)
Don't give up
Help is surely on its way
And don't give up
And the dark is breaking in today
And just keep on moving through these storms
And soon enough you'll find the door
Just don't give up
Oh, and don't give up

These walls around you are caving in
And your life seems like it is wearing thin
And your hope is drowning in despair
It looks like you're not going anywhere
Step inside this heart and then you'll see
Such a love that is so amazing 



This song "Don't Give Up" by Calling Glory came at just the right time and God used it to turn my day around.   And that helps when He reaches down and touches my sore spots and makes them better.  

If you have a tender or rough spot that needs a little more Jesus..then I hope this song speaks to you too.

Five Minute Friday {Encourage}

You've got mail!
Our words are very powerful and our tongues can either tame or tempt.  
It's one thing to say something nice about a person, 
it's another thing to say something nice to their face.  
Try it sometime.  Encourage someone.  

Encouragement can lift your attitude.  
It can brighten a heart, an inbox or text screen.
It wipes the cobwebs out of your mailbox.  
To be the most effective it has to be shared.  

"No encouragement is discouragement."

Encouragement breathes hope, breeds confidence and brews braveness.
Encouragement quietly whispers yet speaks loudly.

Encouragement can dispel despair, negate failures and divert depression.
It's a salve that can soothe an aching heart.

In courage you can build a trust bridge, 
foster a dream, find self-esteem, energize a soul, 
Encouragement revives, invigorates, rekindles, restores.
Encouragement is free and can be freely given.
Spend a little courage and encourage.
