I've been MIA, I know. No time to catch up though, life has changed and I continue to change. I am currently so unfocused that I've been forming a post in my mind and figure I won't be able to focus until I just go ahead and blog it. I'm thinking I'll be starting a new short series called Messages from Jesus to record the glimpses I catch of him in my life. Just small, everyday things that cheer me up. I need the encouragement. This week's happened on Sunday.
The children's choir was leading worship and one of the songs they sang I recognized from when I was in choir myself. My 6th grade year we did a musical and I had a solo. The song is called Be Not Afraid by Craig Courtney. That year of my life was such a tough one, I felt that the song I sang was mine. Hearing it on Sunday I was moved again because of how much weight and truth is in it. It was sung for me. I was once again reminded by these children's voices that God has called me hiw own. I am precious in his sight.
Isaiah 43:1-2
Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
