I love Jesus. I hope everyone who reads this site and those who see my life know that He is my life. He is so good. He is so beautiful. He loves me too!! This amazes me. Actually brings tears to my eyes. I know your wondering what happened. You’re wondering if I started a “courtship” or got a brand new car or if some money came in. Nope.
Lately to be honest I have had such doubts come to my mind about the existence of God. It’s when I am witnessing to someone or when I feel so close to Him that satan sends doubts to my mind. The other day I was talking with Dad on the way home from the airport. I flew in from Chicago from my job there. I told Dad about these thoughts. And then I was trying to explain and wrap my mind around the reasons I know God is true, theologically. And then I just explained to Dad how I know God is real in my life. I began to try to explain how much I love Him. I couldn’t. Tears were running down my face. Just like they do now when I think of how much I love this Man I have never seen! I tried to explain how loved I felt by Him. How much I feel understood and known by Him. I couldn’t. I could only cry. My heart was so full of love! This feeling is in my heart for Him so overwhelmed me.
Lastnight I woke in the night around 3:00 AM. I had a desire to pray and talk to Jesus, knowing He was with me I talked to Him and poured out my heart to Him. Today I got up early. I needed to be at work. I wanted to spend time with Jesus I need Him. After I read His Word. I then looked up a beautiful song that I love on “youtube” for my worship. I looked up “ How Can I Keep From Singing?” Chris Tomlin sings it. It’s beautiful. Today on my way to work I was singing it to Jesus in the quiet of the car. There I was tears and mascara running down my face and I am singing-
“How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing”
– Chris Tomlin
Do you have a vital relationship, alive and real walk with God? Today? Right now? Does it involve all of who you are? When you think about how much He loves you does it make your heart want to sing to Him? Do you want to cry when you think about how good He is to you? This is the most excited Relationship you can have! I hope your enjoying the peace and rest and love of being close to Him.

Oh Holly that is so precious! I looked up the song right away and wow that was incredible! I love it when others can say what I only feel in my heart especially when I can’t quite put it into words like I like. You bless me so much.

I like what that song says too; so true… how can we keep from singing His praise?! I will bless the Lord AT ALL TIMES; His praise will continually be in my mouth - Ps. 34:1.
