I went to bed last night expecting to get a good night sleep. (haha) Instead I awoke several times through out the night with prayers streaming from my heart and mouth. A certain someone on my heart. Each time I followed the unction, so strong to pray and dozed back off to sleep. I wasn't the least bit upset that I was awaken so many times during the night....instead when I got up this morning I took extra time in prayer for this precious friend and child of God. Thank the Lord for allowing me to be a part of their life.
I am hoping they are reading this.
Below I have posted a "Word in Song" the Lord Himself gave me during one of the "hardest times of my life." I didn't think I would make through those times...but I did....not without the guiding hand of Jesus though.
Here are the words and one dy when we see each other again soon I will sing it to you.
I am praying for you!
The Friend You’ve Wanted and The Friend You Need
A “New Song”
I often wonder how I might be.
The friend you've wanted and the friend you need.
How I might share your worries and your fears.
How I might wipe away your tears.
Tell me.
Where do you go, when you're feeling oh so low?
Who do you turn to, when there's no place left to go?
When the ones who you love, seem so far away,
These are the times, I long to hear you say.
***
"Where are you?Where are you, friend that I knew?
I need you.I need you to help me make it through.
Where are you?Where are you, friend that I love?
Come right now.See me through.Send your love from above."
***
You'll never know just what it means to me,
To walk and talk just you and me;
To share your joys and your miseries,
Have you forgotten, that I died for these?
So ~
Child, come to me when you're feeling oh so low.
Child, turn to me when there's no place left to go.
When the ones who you love, seem so far away,
Child, I'm right here, by your side, here to stay.
Go ahead. Call for me.
Child I'm right here.
Go ahead. And you'll see,
How happy you can be,
How happy we will be.

Okay - so I was in church just praising the Lord worshiping our beautiful God and I just kept hearing over and over and over again (in my head) “Look at me”.
It took a few times, but I finally caught on that it was actually the Lord’s voice and that I was actually getting distracted as I was worshiping. That the Lord was pulling me back in, if you will….and each time that he did ….the anointing was stronger than ever. I felt HIS presence even more.
You might think HOW could I be distracted if I was truly worshiping the Lord. But come now let’s get truthful here and be perfectly honest with each other.
I didn’t actually realize I was being distracted until I heard the Lord’s voice speaking to me…. “Look at me”…. repeatedly.
Now that I look back at the situation (and being totally honest and transparent with you) I can clearly see I was being distracted and how.
You see, those few people that know me very well, know I do not like attention; however this morning the anointing of worship was so strong in the service I felt drawn to leave my seat and move the side isle where I had more room to worship and move freely, and I did just that.
As I was worshipping the Lord my FLESH was constantly battling the urge to “wonder what others might be thinking” of my extravagant worship…..that is until I heard the Spirit of the Lord say to me, “Look at me.”
As I focused on the Lord the anointing on my worship of God grew stronger and I had no thought for anything else.
It took a good 10- 15 minutes to break through this distraction; to become completely enamored with Jesus and all encompassed with worshiping Him. Not concerned at all with any one or thing else. Then it was sheer heaven!
When we all sat down and the Pastor shared a word from God….I was blown away (but not surprised as this is how God seems to always work) to find that it was right in line with a Word the Lord had given me during the last part of the worship time. ....(*I have written the word the Lord gave below)
God is soooo Awesome!!!

The Word the Lord shared with me is this:
I asked the Lord why so many were so disappointed and un-excited about all that HE had done for them. So many …..so faithless; when they “knew soooo much and had sooo many wonderful gifts from God.”
The Lord spoke this to me.
“So many that are seeking that “good feeling”….that “now word” from me or that “answer to prayer”.
They pray and pray and pray but then they leave never having actually come into my presence.
Some, may go a step further and cast their burdens down at my feet after having prayed, then leave.
Still others even a step further, pray, cast their burdens upon me and come into my presence where there is fullness of joy….but still they fail to be still long enough to receive all that I have for them.
Amy, It is IN ME all your needs are met. In my presence is the fullness of Joy….and Amy, What is your strength?....”
(*I answered the Lord… “The Joy of the Lord is my Strength.”)
“In answer to your question….pray, cast your burdens on me for I do care for you and come INTO my presence where THERE IS FULLNESS of JOY!......and everything else you need. Drink from me and you will never thirst again!”
Okay, so you know what the wonderful thing about "grace" is?
That it's "grace".
"The free and unmerited favour of God shown towards man."
"Divine love and protection bestowed freely on people."
It's simply Amazing. At least to me. When I think about God...the Almighty creator of Heaven and earth showing ME this kind of favour and for no reason but that He has chosen to. I certainly don't deserve it!
Yet it is here for me EVERY day....fresh and new......now THAT is simply Amazing to me!
I dunno, just a thought before I rush of to bed.
night ya'all.... :)

Good evening everyone!
So...I am dropping you a line to say that...
Tomorrow I will "BLOG" I promise.
:)
I got a call from a dear reader and she asked if I would "share" some of my "thoughts" on here more often. I asked... "You mean like a blog? lol" and she answered back, "Yeah! Like a blog! I think that would be really interesting and people would enjoy it. I know I enjoy it when you share your crazy thoughts with me!"
I laughed and said, "Gee thanks!" Then told her I would talk to her again tomorrow on here!
