2 songs- Nisbia and Sing to Jesus.


This guy has an amazing voice, and apparently the song is a plea for God's mercy, and remembering how Holy He is. This is Choni Goldman and he won a singing competition last year. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have been doing.



I think this is a really lovely song as well. I heard it at a Church meeting the other week, and I found it quite relaxing too. Anyone else find it relaxing or am I just really weird? (You don't have to answer that!)

Saturday 9 February 2013

Barn Camp again:):):)!!!

Well, if all goes according to plan, in 2 week's time, I'll be at Barn Camp again:) and I'm rather excited about it (as I usually am!!) They are always so refreshing spiritually!!! (if not physically).

Surrender!


 “Let us give up our work, our thoughts, our plans, ourselves, our lives, our loved ones, our influence, our all, right into His hand, and then, when we have given all over to Him, there will be nothing left for us to be troubled about, or to make trouble about.”  - Hudson Taylor
 (Hudson Taylor’s Choice Sayings: A Compilation from His Writings and Addresses. London: China Inland Mission, n.d., 52.)



I read a very similar quote this morning, but it mentioned our health as well. I think sometimes we think we have given everything to God, but so often we take some of it back.

It's so good to know that we really can trust God to "keep that which we've committed to Him against that day".



I found it encouraging anyway. Hope you do too!!
