'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!
This was given to me for the third time in just a few weeks.
Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
What warm hearts you all offer
Thank you all for the kindness you have shown me with every Award. I am embraced. You Are a blessing.

Praying for you to have strength that man cannot give you......
Asking God to pour His strength into you sis, love you.
Isnt hard to do things in a time like this? I found it so difficult for a long time, and my sweet friend and sister in Jesus it's OK to let your babes know your sad and to see you cry, then they know its OK to be sad as well, I'm sorry if I over stepped my bounds, but I care about all of you so much! I love the room and that little desk is just a beauty like she is, she surely will feel like a princess sitting at it!!
I thought about you so much today and I know that "heavy heart" feeling, I still have it, but its getting lighter and lighter a little at a time, and I owe that to prayer and Gods gentle hand.
I LOVE YOU~
Sweet gentle hugs to all
Annette
