Monday Melodies: One Step at a Time

One Step at a Time by Jordin Sparks

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus]

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
when you need to find the strength
It's your faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

[Chorus x2]

My favorite lines in this song ring true for

all of us at some time or other,

"It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen

then we find the reasons why,

one step at a time."

Like me, I'm sure there are things that you are

waiting for....

Besides doing our part, there isn't much we can do

to speed things along, God has His own time table.

So while we trust and wait I hope you

enjoy this song.

Monday Melodies: Summer Rain

Summer Rain

Days of burning sun
Watch the colours run
Into pools that catch the eye
Disappear as you pass by

You're my summer rain
You're my summer rain
And I know that I'll see you again
And I know that I'll see you again

Hear my prayer
Answer my call
Breathe life into my soul
I am waiting for you to show
Come and hold me so

You're my summer rain
You're my summer rain
And I know that I'll see you again
And I know that I'll see you again

Dreams of a day with you
Fading away

You're my summer rain
You're my summer rain
And I know and I know and I know that I'll see you again
And I know and I know and I know that I'll see you again
Summer rain
You're my summer rain
And I know and I know and I know that I'll see you again
And I know and I know and I know that I'll see you again
Ah huh ah
Summer rain
Ah huh ah
Summer rain

Here is a lovely and very talented singer that I have come to love

over the course of this past year!

She has an angelic voice, and this is one of my

absolute favorite songs of hers...

I listen to it over and over and over....

Here is hoping we get some summer rain soon

here in Texas.

Enjoy!

Monday Melodies: One of Those Days

Sorry this was so late today!
If it has been 'one of those days' today, here is a little ditty

to cheer you up and a prayer that tomorrow is better!

Remember, He loves you in the middle of your mess

and no matter what, you are still blessed!

(I didn't like the official music video, so I posted this one instead,

two birds with one stone though cause this vid has the

lyrics! Sorry, I know, they used the wrong 'to',

but what can you do?)

Monday Melodies: You

You by 21:03

I just found this song and this group in the past week,

and I wanted to share this song with you!

Enjoy!

Lyrics

Been up and down been almost crushed to the ground
But somehow i still come out with my crown
Sometimes my hills seem unbearable
But lord dont move my mountain i'm believin in your miracle

I've never seen the righteous forsaken
I'd never have made it with out you

Chorus
My joy, my peace, my happiness. My hope, my strength, my deliverence.
Ain't no stoppin my praise my diligence. My life i've dedicated cause i made it with you. I made it with you
Nobody but you, I made it with you


I've had some smiles and some cries in my life
But you see me through them all always by my side
Sometimes the closest ones to me seem like enemies
But lord you make them my foot stool to prepare me


(i need everybody to say this)
oh oh oh ohhh. oh oh oh ohhh
(come on yall help me out)
oh oh oh ohhh. oh oh oh ohhh

Say i made it. Have i got a witness? say i made it. Anybody made it? Through the valley. Through the mountain. Through the storm...my joy


I made it. Said i made it. Is it anybody out there that know you made it? when the enemy tried to get you, you tell yo enemy, GET THEE BEHIND ME

And to the decievers, you thought you had me. Spreadin rumors all about me. I made it cause im more than a conquerer. So how you like me now?

To my killaz, you thought you had me. Plottin, schemin all around me. But im standin. Cuz there is no weapon, no weapon, formed against me, shall prosper...

Monday Melodies: Safe

Safe by Britt Nicole

You keep tryin to get inside my head,
While I keep trying to lose the words you said
Can't you see I'm hangin by a thread,
To my life what I know, yeah I'm losing control and

Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, its more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love ju--st isn't safe
(your not safe, mmm-mm)

I'm strong enough, I've always told myself
I never want to need somebody else
But I've already fallen from that hill,
So I'm droppin my guard here's your chance at my heart and

Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, its more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love ju-st isn't

Everything you want, but its everything you need
Its not always happy endings but its hap-py in betweeen
Its taken so long, so long to finally see
That You love is worth the risk

Oh no, my walls are gonna breeeaakk
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, its more than I can take
So tired of turning and running away
When love ju-st isn't safe

Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, its more than I can take
So tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe

Your not safe
And that's okay

This song reminds me of the quote from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe:

“Safe?" said Mr. Beaver.

"Who said anything about safe?

 'Course he isn't safe.

But he's good.”

God's love isn't always safe, but it's always worth it, and it will be good.

Did your mommy teach you to share when you were a child?

Yeah. Mine too. :)

Today I found something I wanted to share with you!


KirbyEveryDay Weekly Videos

"A day in the life of an after school program intern, condensed to four minutes," is the description on these videos. It is a hilarious blog-type video, play by play of her day. So far she has only posted five videos, but each one is a comedy gem! I love her humour style and the randomness of these vids! Nuff said, watch it!

Here is the link to her youtube channel page!
