He heals me...

I am glad that I took the time this week to challenge myself to get out of the house. The change of scenery was good for me. I really didn’t do anything spectacular but in doing “something” I knew that I was doing the right thing. This week, I was reminded of the simple things in life. My 6 year old niece had me in tears on Tuesday. She heard “her song” , pulled out her guitar and began to sing “ He Heals Me” by India Arie. The room grew quiet and all eyes were on her. She picked up her guitar, sang these words, and looked directly at me….
He heals me \He knows the real me\ And he accepts me, he never hurts me\ He heals me\ He knows the real me \And he accepts me, he never hurts me\ He heals me



You know I cried, right? It was such a moment for me just to hear those words. Amazingly, God can speak thru anything and anyone He chooses. I can’t say for sure who India was referring to when she wrote this song. All I know is that I felt like God was starting the process of healing me. I am so thankful that HE knows the real me. I don’t have to pretend with Him.

Music is such a part of my life. Can you imagine life without it???? I shared with Chris earlier this week that no matter how much I say “I don’t understand God”… “ I don’t want to go back to church right now” …blah…blah…blah…. The funny thing is…He is STILL all I sing about. Standing in the kitchen I found myself singing.. “ I Never Lost my Praise”

I never lost my hope, \I never lost my joy\ I never lost my faith\ But most of all, I never lost my praise




…and the other song is “ Hope Now” . I’ve been singing the chorus…because...well, that is all that I know! :0)
Everything rides on hope now\ Everything rides on faith somehow When the world has broken me down Your love sets me free



Thank God for the wonderful gift of music for truly, …it heals me!!
( I added these videos with the hope that these songs would encourage you, just as they have encouraged me…now, go listen to ‘em :0) )
