{31 Days of Worship- Day 5} Amazing Grace

I find that I just can't get away from how amazing His grace is towards us! Maybe it's just because of where I am right now, or maybe it's simply because His grace is truly amazing.
This is one of my favorite songs because it combines a familiar song with something new. It expands on the true meaning of the song. His grace is truly amazing and through that grace we find our salvation. The chains of sin no longer have a hold of us and we are free!
This version is so beautiful and takes me back to a Thursday night back in 2009. The "Michael W Smith: A New Hallelujah tour" came to our town and my father and I had the privilege of being a part of the local choir with him. It was such an amazing experience, not only to be able to perform in a concert with such an amazing worship leader, but also that we got to meet Him personally. We were standing in our formation rehearsing the afternoon before the concert and out on stage comes this guy in jeans and a cowboy hat with the biggest smile ever resting on his face. When we finished the song he walked up to us and shared how excited he was to not only spend the evening worshiping with us but that we sounded so amazing for a local group. Then we did a few songs with him and the Presence that fell while we were worshiping in that big empty arena was so beautiful I almost cried. Not to mention that we were actually on the stage, right behind one of my biggest inspirations as a Christian Pianist joining him in what we were created for. It was truly one of the most memorable moments of my life.


Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I'm free

It was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved 
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God my savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God my savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God who called me here below
Will be forever mine

My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God my savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

Getting back into blogging

This is one of the great moments in our family's life.... Alex learned to eat! Today, I had a visit from my very good friend Kati and her mother Cheryl to learn how to do special things with our blogs. We learned many things that can be done to enhance a post and the blog itself.I am so inspired now to do more with my blog, I just wish I had a more reliable laptop so that I could use it daily. That is one of the things I have on my dream list, along with a nice digital camera to help me capture and document all of the great things in my family's life.

My Goal

My name is Britni and I have a beautiful three month old little boy. It is the goal of my husband and I to train our children to love the Lord and follow His will for their lives, and to fully support them in doing so. Let me give you a little bit of my background. Many people may think a 21 year old with only one small baby wouldn't know a whole lot about raising children, but I have been around children my whole life. My parents adopted my little sister as a newborn when I was fourteen years old and I had the joy of watching her grow up and learn things through homeschooling just as I did. Also from the same age I have been a teacher of ballet, tap, and jazz to children from the ages of three through nine. Long story short, I have been working with children for a very long time so many of the things I may write about have come through a lot of thought. I plan on using this blog to share with other parents some of the things we have done and will do with our children to help t

{31 Days of Worship- Day 7} When I Think About the Lord

Image
I was listening to this song the other day as a possible choice for a new song for our worship team when my husband turned to me and said "that was my grandmothers favorite song". I had to share it in memory of "Mema" who was a great woman, even though I only had the privilege of knowing her for a couple years. She truly lived out the lyrics of this song, praising God for everything He had given her. A beautiful family, A beautiful home built by her husband, and most of all a wonderful Savior who loved her. She is truly missed. When I Think About The Lord- Hillsongs When I think about the Lord How He saved me, How He raised me How He filled me with the Holy Ghost How He healed me to the uttermost When I think about the Lord How He picked me up and turned me around How He placed my feet on solid ground It makes me wanna shout Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus! Lord You're worthy of all the Glory And all the Honor and all the Praise
