But she impacted my life in a big, BIG way.
She was a Christian recording artist and I loved her music.
It spoke to me.
She sang about the very things that I felt too.
I remember nights alone in my bedroom, writing in my journal and listening to "No One Knows My Heart" over and over and over again.
I remember listening to "Benediction" and singing along as I drove to summer school. Her songs to the Lord somehow prepared me for the scary halls of hoodlums that freightened me to death in that big unfamiliar public high school. I made it through unscathed... Somehow;)
This one is my favorite...
"You move me... You get me dancing and YOU make me sing... now I'm taking delight in every little thing, how you move me."
I love these lyrics.
This song was the moment that I can recall knowing that "I can't go with Jesus and stay where I am"... All warm and cozy in my bed. I needed to wake up and put one foot in front of the other and take that step of faith...
Into the unknown...
And here I am today.
How things have changed in my life.
How things would've been so very different had I not had the courage to make 1 very big decision 17 years ago.
Still, to this day, the only way I ever made that decision was by the Power of the Holy Spirit and my very small, mustard seed of faith.
2 Timothy 2:13
"If we are faithless, He will remain faithful..."
How I LOVE this promise.
Praising God today for His faithfulness in my life...
Especially during the times I have been UNfaithful to Him.
He is such a good, good Father.
Blessings,
Rebecca
