Rescue

This was on my heart to share today. How many hurting people are there in our churches walls and we don't reach out?? Or are you one of them?? Be blessed!! You can listen to a rough recording of the following song at: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=564017&songID=4383452

Rescue Our Brother
©2006 Raina Lorentsen & Colten Krauter

Another Sunday morning
He sits in the back row
Painting a smile on that face
Hoping his heart won't show
His trials leave him empty
No one will ever know

Beneath it all
He wants to make it right
Give it up to God
And leave his double life

Do we see struggles
In the battle for his soul
One of pain and tears
We need to step out
And live up to God’s grace
And rescue our brother

Another Sunday night
She visits with her friends
Saying she's just fine
With her smile of pretend
Leaving good impressions
While she is fighting with sin

Beneath it all
She wants to make it right
Give it up to God
And leave her double life

Do we see struggles
In the battle for her soul
One of pain and tears
We need to step out
And live up to God’s grace
And rescue our sister

Oh we know that He's not that far away
Breaking down while He's lifting up

Do we see struggles
In the battle for her soul
One of pain and tears
We need to step out
And live up to Gods grace
And rescue, and rescue, and rescue our sister

Do we see struggles
In the battle for her soul
One of pain and tears
We need to step out
And live up to Gods grace
And rescue our sister

Another Sunday morning
He sits in the back row
Showing the joy that’s in his heart…

Moving time

Jason and I are getting ready for a move at the end of the month to a bigger apartment with memories waiting to be made. As I start packing, it reminds me of stuffing boxes before we got married. Oh the anticipation and thoughts that went through my head...

"Me? Old enough to get married?" "Man oh man I have no idea what I'm getting myself into but bring it on!" "Will I be a good enough wife?" "Will I be able to make new friends?" "I am not a CA girl, but it's about time I get to be with my man, wherever it may be" Etc etc etc...

It was all such a bittersweet adventure. Not only did I get married, which is a huge change in itself, but I moved away from all I've known for so long; probably a larger treck than a lot of brides these days. However, it was all a great change. Of course it was difficult and emotional, but I wouldn't change a thing. I am happy, making memories, and living forward with my Jesus and my hubby by my side.

As we make all the preparations for our move in just a few weeks, I have thoughts running miles around my brain with excitement looking forward to what the future brings. With God, it brings greatness and I couldn't ask for more.
