Everyday is a Day of Thanksgiving

I was listening to some music today when the song Everyday is a Day of Thanksgiving came on. The chorus of the song said,

Everyday is a day of thanksgiving.

God has been so good to me.

Everyday He’s blessing me.

Everyday is a day of thanksgiving:

Take the time to glorify the Lord today…

As I sang along with the song I was reminded of a New Year’s resolution I had made a few years ago...

Second Chances...

“What if I made a horrible mistake?” 

“What if I missed God big time with that decision I made?”

I was talking to my sister Stephanie when I asked her those two questions I had been pondering for some time.  She knew the decision I was talking about.  It wasn’t a recent decision and there was no going back and changing it.  However, fast forward to the present and here I was wondering if the decision, that I felt was the right one at the time, had changed the course of my life.

Called To Be

I don’t know if I’ve been singing it as a vow to God
or a declaration to myself. Maybe it’s a combination of both.

 What I do know is that lately I’ve been constantly playing
Jonathan Nelson’s song, Called to Be.

 We know that God has a purpose for our lives but sometimes
Our lives get off track and we wonder if it’s ever going to happen.
Am I ever going to be who God has called me to be?

 This song reminds me, that if I continue to press,
through the mountains high and valleys low,
if I continue to keep my focus… I will be who he called me to be.

 -Chorus-
I will be what you called me to be
I say, Yes Lord I agree
My desire, passionately
 Is to be what you called me to be
 That's what I'll be  

Trusting Him,
~Bernadine~
