The Climb

Miley Cyrus : The Climb Lyrics

Songwriters: Alexander, J; Mabe, J

I can almost see it
That dream Im dreaming but
Theres a voice inside my head sayin,
Youll never reach it,
Every step Im taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

Theres always going to be another mountain
Im always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Aint about how fast I get there,
Aint about whats waiting on the other side
Its the climb

The struggles Im facing,
The chances Im taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No Im not breaking
The pain Im knowing
But these are the moments that
Im going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,

Theres always going to be another mountain
Im always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Aint about how fast I get there,
Aint about whats waiting on the other side
Its the climb

Theres always going to be another mountain
Im always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Aint about how fast I get there,
Aint about whats waiting on the other side
Its the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
Its all about
Its all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

I have been struggling.... praying for more... but I need to work if I want to change. Knowing that it is a struggle to get good things. Things that are of God.. the fruit of righteousness. Lord come.. fill me up! I need you! We are called to make the hard choices... to humble ourselves at his feet. May we be so lost in HIM that it doesn't matter the calling he puts on ours lives. Let's live all for HIM!!

The Vine

Have you ever read John 14-16? If so.. do you believe it.. take some time to read it and pray about it! Because if it is true... why don't we believe it and live it? It totally rocked my socks! The one that came to save left so that one could come that would live in us!! Do you know what that means.. that the King that raised the DEAD.. Lives in US!! Did you read that??

So that means whatever may come my way... it doesn't matter because I have one that is greater than me... living in ME! What do I have to fear? This last week has been hard.. but so good! God's comfort, grace, mercy and patience Wows me in so many ways! I was walking in very dangerous waters.. many where praying.. I thank God for is revaluation. Because He loves me... he shows us the truth... and calls to believe it!

I must give God all the PRAISE and GLORY!! Thank you that I can hear the TRUTH! I want to live it out! I was reminded of the power of His Holy Spirit and His working in His people. We must not doubt the working he does in all of us when we are willing. I encountered two angels this week....

Myself and two close friends where on our way to the airport.. two of us where trying to make a flight. While at an intersection my friends car stalled... we where panicking... trying to get it to start. It felt like forever while we where trying to get it to start.. calling out to God for help two guys came up to the car.. asking if they can help. They helped us move the car into a parking lot and calling for a taxi when the car decides to work. I have no doubt they where followers of God.. we have no idea where they came from... and they where gone like that.

God is living in us... why do we doubt. May we keep our eyes open to be someones angel.. or encourager, helper, friend and a little HOPE in this dark world of hopelessness.

The Forgotten God

I am currently reading a book called The Forgotten God, by Francis Chan. It is a living changing book! The memory of walking through the airport in California after crossing the border from Mexico... from my June mission trip is in my mind as I think about the gift of our Holy Spirit. While walking with all my stuff... looking into the faces.. and eyes of all the beautiful people God created.. I began to cry... talking to Jesus "they don't know you.. they don't know how much that you love them.. they don't know your sweet touch... your healing." It sadden me so very much! I was reading the following verses last night.

Galatians 5: 16-25

Life by the Spirit

16So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

I have to be honest... I feel my savior calling me to give it all... with no worries. It is hard.. my PRIDE, FLESH, SELFISHNESS and FEAR get in the way. What would we be if we came humbily to God and wasn't afraid to live our lives lead by HIM and his Holy Spirit for his Glory! I want it JESUS!

Romans 5:1-5

Peace and Joy 1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a]have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we[c] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Praise God for his HOPE through his HOLY SPIRIT! Let us press into our savior through faith.

1 Corinthians 13: 1-3
Love
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.

So Long...

God's faithfulness... yes, I have been encountering the faithfulness of the Living God. Have you? Where do I start.. maybe I should just go from here on. I have to praise God for my trip to Mexico this June, with the E-free youth group. It was a trip of challenge, growth and encouragement from God. The love of God was reflected in so many lives... it was a driving focus to want MORE. More of God, more out of life and more from oneself.. reaching!

My life has been changing in so many ways.. and the lives around me!!! YES.. good change! It is so hard to see seasons change.. people change.. situations.. but at times it is a realise and a victory to FREEDOM! Amen! So whatever challenge or heartache may come... who knows it could be our chance to victory and FREEDOM!! So let us take life as it comes and hold on to the things that matter... and choose to TRUST God through it ALL! Amen!
