on my knees

There are days when I feel
The best of me is ready to begin.
Then therere days when I feel
Im letting go and soaring on the wind.
cause Ive learned in laughter or in pain
How to survive.

I get on my knees,
I get on my knees;
There I am before the love that changes me.
See I dont know how, but theres power
When Im on my knees.

I can be in a crowd
Or by myself,
in almost anywhere
When I feel theres a need
To talk with god;
he is emmanuel.
When I close my eyes no darkness there,
Theres only light.

I get on my knees,
I get on my knees;
There I am before the love that changes me.
See I dont know how, but theres power
In the blue skies, in the midnight
When Im on my knees.

I get on my knees,
I get on my knees;
There I am before the love that changes me.
See I dont know how, but theres power
When Im on my,
when Im on my,
When Im on my knees.

Love

Have you ever wondered what Love really is...and if it really truly exists? I used to wonder alot if it was even real, because so many people had told me "I love you" and then hurt me more than the people who straight up told me "I hate you". So that made me think "if thats love...then real love must not exist", come on...dont tell me you have never wondered if it really exists and what it really was atleast once in your life!


I used to wonder that every day..every single day. Then I met this guy..he was compassionate, forgiving, he was there to catch me when i fell, he was LOVING, and so much more that i dont even have the words to describe him, it was a "Love at first sight" kinda thing. Of course he was in love with me long before i ever even met him. His name is Jesus. When I met him, i knew that Love is real. Sure some of you may be reading this and thinking "ok..well thats love for her, but what about me!?", want to know something awesome....you can have that Love too, you can know his Love, his amazing Love. He's knocked on the door of your heart, he's just waiting for you to open the door and invite him in. :)



Before I knew his love...I thought i had messed up way too bad and way too much to even get within a 1,000 miles of his Love. But i was so wrong, his love was there waiting for me all along. I just had to realize it and embrace it. When i did...nothing was the same. Sure..things arent perfect, and things wearn't better the next day, I still made mistakes and i still fell down. But now...I have Jesus with me. :) The Love of Jesus is so amazing that there aren't even words to begin to describe it! Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrated His own love towards us in this: That while we were still sinners Christ died for us."



But i bet some of you are wondering "If he loves me..why did he let this happen to me?...why did that happen to me?". To be honest...i dont know, because I used to wonder the same thing. But every tear you cry, he holds in his hand and he has never left your side.

Have you ever wanted to have your special quiet time with God everyday? Said to yourself "I'm going to do it everyday without fail" and you never do...just because you get swept up in the busy thing called Life? I know I can raise my hand and say I am 1 of those people.

The last couple days though I have been clinging to God more than ever, and i noticed it was because my life just went downward and upside down. Have you ever seemed to cry out to God more when the times God tough than when he gave you the best day ever? I know i can raise my hand and say i am 1 of those people too.

Have you ever wondered why times get tough and you just cant seem to win, no matter how hard you try..it seems that as soon as you get past 1 obstacle, another one comes along and seems to be even bigger than the last one? and You just get Fed up and yell out "WHY GOD??"..thats happened to me alot. But I have learned that Gods grace is Sufficient, he hears my prayers in spite of all my flaws. And i have learned that I can get more out of God by believing in him for 1 minute, than i could by yelling at him all night!

I have many desires...but my main Hearts Desire is to see young women realize their beauty; to understand that circumstances don't determine what they’re worth; only God has that power, and He says they are “FAR MORE PRECIOUS than Jewels.” Each Girl is rare, beautiful, valuable, treasured, & uniquely created for a special purpose to fulfill, no matter what their failures have been! God sees her heart...He sees her potential & the promise He intended for her to possess. What the world views as broken, God sees as restored; What the world abandons, God wants to USE! When the World says "I have no hope for you", God says "I have a plan and a purpose for you".


Jesus wore this crown



So you could wear this one
