Today marks one year since I moved to Cascade, ID. It's hard to believe it's been a whole year already. 2010 sure didn't turn out like I thought it would. Life is always an adventure when we walk with God, isn't it? In some ways it was better (the pleasant surprise of how much I like living here) and in other ways it was harder (dealing with family member's issues, losing a loved one).
I'd like to share with you a link that was passed on to me by a friend on Jan 2nd. It originated with Ken Talbott, who hosts a show called The Walk Show, "Looking for those who are walking the talk." It is a youTube video of Bill Gaither and 7 other guys (mostly younger than him) singing a song called, "I Then Shall Live". Bill Gaither isn't always my favorite, but I found this particular song very inspiring, and even more so because the message comes from 8 men who clearly believe passionately in what they're singing. Take a look. I hope you are inspired, too.
Ken Talbott suggests the words of this song would make a great New Year's resolution for all of us to follow who claim Jesus Christ as Lord of our lives.
I then shall live as one who's been forgiven.
I'll walk with joy to know my debts are paid.
I know my name is clear before my Father;
I am His child and I am not afraid.
So, greatly pardoned, I'll forgive my brother;
The law of love I gladly will obey.
I then shall live as one who's learned compassion.
I've been so loved, that I'll risk loving too.
I know how fear builds walls instead of bridges;
I'll dare to see another's point of view.
And when relationships demand commitment,
Then I'll be there to care and follow through.
Your Kingdom come around and through and in me;
Your power and glory, let them shine through me.
Your Hallowed Name, O may I bear with honor,
And may Your living Kingdom come in me.
The Bread of Life, O may I share with honor,
And may You feed a hungry world through me.
Amen, Amen, Amen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpIJfiR9v_Q
