As a dancer, I'm always looking for music that not only sounds good, but has great lyrics and sometimes it's a challenge to find. I was graced to hear a song about two years ago. This song spoke my heart so precisely that I could hardly wait to minister it in dance to my heavenly Father. Its name, The Real Me by Natalie Grant.

Stop right now and take a minute to read the lyrics and listen to the song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3kr9eqxwCo). I guarantee you, that if you have any kind of relationship with my Jesus, and if you understand even a little about grace, then you will know why I love this song.

This song reminds me of how much He loves me: of how privileged I am to be a part of the kingdom of God. I'm just a sinner, saved by grace. Living a life undeserved, but yet preserved and predestined by Him. I am honored to be His. And I am forever grateful to Him that He sees ALL of who I am and STILL loves me.

Embrace that truth for yourself today ~ He knows everything about you, your thoughts, your past, your future, and He still loves you. Selah (pause and think about it). Oh, how He loves you and me ~ blessings to you!!!

My Love Song to HIM, Dorothy C.

The Real Me (Natalie Grant)

Foolish heart looks like we're here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before I'm empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of the song and dance
Living a Charade, always on parade
What a mess I've made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still I see somehow

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry
I just wanna be me

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

And you love me just as I am

Wonderful, Beautiful is what you see
When you look at me

Thank YOu Jesus Thank You Jesus Thank You Jesus!!! The REAl Me; he sees the real YOU and that song bless my day, life and so did this blog. Its something how God gives us so much that will help us from day to day. His word, church, people, anointed songs, and etc. I'm not alone in this christian walk and I want to embrace everyday the people and his lovingkindness towards me and hold on tight. Thank you Lord and you woman of God for your obedience and love for God and his people. How great you are; its your mercy and grace you Amaze me.

Praise the Lord!!! I know it’s been a minute since I’ve written. I've been consumed the last three weeks with dance team responsibilities and making plans for my husband's birthday. Praise God for His grace that’s has literally escorted me the last few weeks. I must say that through it all the Lord has been good. I'm so thankful for His overwhelming demonstration of love towards me...our One Family Service and dance, Resurrection Sunday Dance, and Albert’s birthday week were above all I could have asked or thought. HE is so faithful!!! During my time of “getting things done” the Holy Spirit was still speaking to my heart. I was doing my best to write things down here and there, but it will be a few days before I can totally download it all. I am purposing to put pen to paper, or should I say, fingers to keyboard every day this week (Pray for me y’all –lol). However, today I just wanted to share a scripture the Lord gave me back in January this year. I was thumbing throug...

On Mondays.... (re-post)

I'm re-posting this blog entry from a while back.....just thought it was apropos (at least for me ~ lol). Be BLESSED in His presence today!!! Those who are close to me know that Mondays are my MARATHON day. I start early and end late. And although I'm not a "Monday-hater" is the day that puts reality in my face: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It's on Mondays that I'm reminded that I have deadlines, bills due, and needy children. It's on Mondays that I must look forward not back. It's on Mondays that difficult decisions are made that set the tone for the rest of the week. It's on Mondays that I'm reminded that I'm a wife, covenanted to love and respect my husband. It's on Mondays that I'm reminded that I'm a mother and grandmother, that have children who need nurturing, love and daily encouragement. It's on Mondays that I'm reminded that I am a business owner, purposing to walk in integrity in her finances a...

Let It Rise

By -
The Holy Spirit dropped a song in spirit yesterday evening that I just can't stop singing. The song is called Let It Rise by William Murphy III. Let the glory of the Lord rise among us Let the glory of the Lord rise among us Let the praises of our King rise among us Let it rise Oh, let it rise Let the songs of the Lord rise among us Let the songs of the Lord rise among us Let the joy of our King rise among us Let it rise Oh, let it rise I hadn’t heard that song in quite some time, so when I heard it bellowing up from my belly I knew it was the Lord speaking to me. The Word of God says that, out of your belly shall flow RIVERS of living water (John 7:38). Get that….The Lord will bring a word of deliverance and freedom from your own belly. Selah. (Going to have to come back to that in another blog). I begin to sing the chorus to this song over and over again as I rode along in the car. As I sang, I could feel the presence of the Lord rising up in me and around...
