The Joy of Life!

Life. A gift. An amazing opportunity to be alive, enjoying the beauty and circumstances that flow from all that surrounds. A chance to serve. laugh. give. receive. impact. Living in the present. Trusting and being filled with peace. TRUE peace from within. Past events and memories not to consume. Future and forbearing left to be discovered as they melt into the present. Thankfulness for this moment.

What is the name of that song?

Star 88.3 can be a fantastic radio station and yet sometimes...I think they play the same songs relentlessly and well...new ones or a wider variety would be enjoyable. The exception is when there is a song that connects with you, then it can't be played enough. I don't even know the title, but every time it comes on I am like "YES!" and turn up the radio super loud, almost deafening and sing along with it....the reframe says...(well I think this is what it says but since I often get lyrics messed up...I don't know for sure...)

"My Savior Loves, my Savior Lives, My Savior's always there for me.
My God He was, My God He is my God is always going to be!!!"

I joyously shout with it and know people are laughing if they are looking into my car cause my whole body moves too…especially my head. It's like a proclamation and encouragement all at the same time.

I am truly blessed. I have a God who is ALWAYS there for me and is not going anywhere (Deuteronomy 31:6). I can TRUST Him and depend on Him (Matthew 11:28, 1 Corinthian 10:13, James 1:5). He truly loves me unconditionally (Matthew 17:10-14, John 15:9, Romans 8) and I do not have to worry (Matthew 6:25-34). The best part of it all is Jesus is real. He is not a made up story like the Easter bunny. Jesus was a REAL human who breathed the molecules of air around us, he walked on the dirt and drank the water...he lived! (Luke 2, Matthew 8:25) But not only was he human and a "great moral teacher", but he was killed unjustly for me a sinner(John 19, Romans 5) and then...get this...HE REALLY came back to life (Mark 16, John 20)...cause he is God!!!! (Matthew 16:16) And I know him! Me...little me...how could it be? But yet it is. Wordless astonishment.

    Susan!!! I absolutely love that song too! I don't know who sings it though, but the other day when I was singing along, I thought that I should find out because it is such a great song! You are so right, the God we serve is so amazing! ~Nichole

    The opportunity to have a relationship with such an amazing God is incomprehesible! And the reality of his unchanging love is so comforting! Wow.

    Thank you for your proclaimation Susan! And thanks for this great song!! Is it Aaron Shust - My Savior My God?

    It reminds me of Jesus Loves Me, simple and true. (And because he says, "Christ died to save me; this I read" :)

    The tune also reminds me of a Spanish song Somos el Pueblo de Dios . We are the People of God. Is there an English version of this song or maybe there is another song with this tune? I think there is, but can't think of it.

    Here's a link to My Savior My God

    Susan!! You are doing what you love, because you brought a smile to my face today when I read your profile, and found out that TEAM spelled backwards is MAET, which doesn't show up in Websters. So I looked up TAEM, which is what you think it spells backwards, and that doesn't show up either.

    But THEN, right above where TAEM would be (if it existed) was TAEL, which is "any of various units of weight of eastern Asia," or, "any of varous Chinese units of value based on the value of a tael of silver." So I learned a new word today!

    Let's use it in a sentence! "When I was in China, I made no purchases with a tael." :-)
