Reflections of the heart

In Christ Alone...





I definitely believe this is one of my favorite hymns
As of now, I am in a complete state of unknown.
I was fired recently from my job.
I have no idea what the future holds, literally, because everyday is not planned out before me.
My closest sisters and family have all retreated back to school for the next few months.
I am completely and utterly wrecked.
But not in bad or negative way.
I'm actually at peace and have a lot of optimistic JOY.
CHRIST LIKE JOY AND PEACE makes no sense by the way.
My heart is so vulnerable and I don't want to mess anything up or fall in deeper.
I just want to really seek the LORD and depend upon Him alone and trust in Him.
I need Jesus like no other.

I was praying the other night and God spoke this to me, wanted to share it with you all :).
"This is the year, I make my name KNOWN.
This is the year, I make my KNOWN in your life.
This is the year I make my name KNOWN in the lives of the saved and unsaved.
This is the year, I make my name KNOWN."
.
You know, I can't say I understand through experience the entire truth of this song.
But I strive to.
I reach for it.
I fall short, yes.
But we don't fight towards victory, we fight from victory :).
Boldness.
That is the mark I want in my walk, I want the mark of boldness.
Be blessed by this lovely rendition of IN CHRIST ALONE.
The band has amazing hymns so I would definitely check out their youtube page :).

Love this version of "JOY" as well :).
okay. Bye.

I am so sorry to hear about your job! But isn't it awesome how God can bring us peace even in the midst of the unknown? My prayers are with you!

In Christ Alone is my favorite song EVER. We used it as a congregational song in our wedding. I love how it's just the straight up gospel. I admire your attitude through such a tough time!
