Come The Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise!
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
such by flaming tongues above.
Praise the Mount; I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of God's redeeming Love.
Here I raise my Ebeneezer,
hither to They help I'm come.
And I hope by They good pleasure
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
interposed His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be.
Let they goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to Thee:
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love...
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for They courts above!________________________________________________
November: I am artist of the month at the local Art Gallery!
God is so faithful even when we are not. He has shown me this so many times throughout my life. He has been faithful in pursuing me for almost 24 years now, and I know He will never stop pursuing my heart, and tuning it to sing His grace. I do pray I can be an instrument for which His Spirit to breathe into and through. Thank you, Lord for my sound, and the song of my life. There are unbeautiful, muddy parts, but together with the rest of the melodies of His family is a delightful Song of the Symphony His Hand is orchestrating.
Well, here is a link to all my pieces that are being shown this month!

I know that this wouldn't happen without the perfect work of the Author of my faith, and His Spirit interweaving all the good and bad together, into beauty; without the gifts He has so freely given me, and the encouraging words from my friends all of my life He also has so freely blessed me with. His plans for me are so good! I need not fear anything!
Fear Factor: I'm still working at the newspaper and I am still conquering even more fear! It's glorious. I hate fear, and I hate the prison Fear is holding The Bride captive in. I hope to be used by God to set the prisoners free! This children's song is so profound:
I've got a River of Life flowing out of me.
Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see,
opens prison doors, sets the captives free
I've got a River of Life flowing out of me
-Spring up, O Well, within my soul (john 7:37)
-Spring up, O Well, and make me whole
-Spring up, O Well, and give to me -- that Life--abundantly.I sang this song as a tiny child!! I'm blown away that these lyrics are in a children's song. I love it. I want childlike faith.
