Hear our cries Lord,
Hear our prayers
Take our burdens
Calm our fears

God will you make us
A people that love you
Please take our offering
That we set before You
God hear our prayers
That we're lifting up to You
God see our tears
That we're struggling to see through
God, hear our prayers to You

In our weakness,
You remain
When we're broken
You sustain

God will you make us
A people that love you
Please take our offerings
That we set before you
God hear our prayers
We're lifting them up to you
God see our tears
That we're struggling to see through

God hear our prayers
We lift them to you.
God hear our prayers
Lord make our hearts true
Will you make our hearts true?

Hear our prayers Lord

God will you make us
A people that love You
Please take our offerings
That we set before you
God hear our prayers
That we're lifting up to You
God see our tears
That were struggling to see through
God hear our prayers
As we lift them to heaven
We're praying that angels
Receive and embrace them
The hopes of the empty
The cries of the broken
We're reaching our hands out
Oh Lord will You hold them?


God hear our prayers. We are crying out to you. God we might not understand your plans, but hear ours prayers. And we will continue to pray. So God hear our prayers. Were lifting them up to you.

Talents

Matthew 25:14-30.

As I lay here, and listen to my friend's amazing piano and singing on myspace, the parable of the talents came to mind. Matthew 25:14-30.

We are all given talents from God, and it is up to us how we use it. Some may be small, or great, but its important is when we use those talents, we glorify God. God is happiest when we use these talents with passion.

I am surrounded by so many talented, gifted people in my life. I could go on forever, but to give two examples;

My friend, Josh Dadd, recently moved to Nashville, TN, embracing his passion and gift of music. When you listen, you can hear his passion screaming out it in his voice and every time he presses a piano key. http://www.myspace/jdaddband

My Grandma, who recently wrote a book, embracing her passion of God and family through her talent of stories and writing. You can read and feel her love pouring through the pages
I could go on all night about all the people in my life who are ever so talented in so many ways.

One thing i know is that my friends were given the talent to put up with me!! Am I ever greatful for their talents of love, friendship, smiles, laughter, tears, dreams, goals, etc etc ect. I wish I could share about them all, post pictures of them all, but i really dont have enough time or space :) Too many people in my life I love!!!! For now i praise them for gifts, and how many of them use their gifts for the glory of God. What great examples they are to me. :) I love you. :)

Hows your love life?

I was just recently asked how my love life was. HA. what love life? :) and this person went on about dating, ect ect and im thinking UGH. Yet again another reminder that I am single, dont have a boyfriend, not married, etc. And what an unfair question "hows your love life??" is.

BUT the way I really want to reply is ... its amazing and great. I have friends and family I see and talk to on a weekly basis that I LOVE and cant ever get enough of and just not enough time to see. I am creating new and continuing old relationships and am daily surrounded by people i LOVE. Every day at work, I spread my LOVE to children with my passion of dentisty and the gifts God gave me. At wyldlife, leadership..ect ect. everywhere I go, I have LOVE in my life.

So asking how my love life is, in my opinion, is an unfair question. :) I may not have a boyfriend or a husband or whatever, but I can tell you there sure are people in my life that i feel LOVE and FRIENDSHIP with, which reminds me daily why God is so good. And God has plans and purpose for me. Someday my man will come, God willing. But for now, it poses the question, "I am feeling the love? Am I spreading the love?? Truely...how is YOUR love life??"

"This is what I tell you to do: Love each other just as I have loved you. No one can have greater love than to give his life for his friends." -John 15:12-13
