Longings of your heart

Selected passages from the Life Lessons in my bible reading today:

When we submit to God's plans, we can trust our desires...What do you love to do? What brings you joy? What gives you a sense of satisfaction?...The longings of your heart, then, are not incidental; they are critical messages. The desires of your heart are not to be ignored; they are to be consulted. As the wind turns the weather vane, so God uses your passions to turn your life. God is too gracious to ask you to do something you hate.


Today Sugar Pop and I are headed to the GMA Academy in Dallas, Texas. Sugar Pop writes songs and records and produces them on his computer-based studio. He LOVES it. He is definitely gifted by God and this brings him so much joy. He would love to be able to do this full-time. He doesn't have a desire to be the next Michael W. Smith, he would just like to have someone else take his songs and record them, to be able to get his music out there. He has good lyrics, lyrics that have come from God, messages that could make a difference in people's lives - but first they have to be heard. I don't know if anything will come of this weekend, but it is a step in the direction of getting his music out there for the world. I pray that God will lead us this weekend.

Lord, everything we have comes from You. You have given Sugar Pop the gift of music and filled his heart with the desire to create songs that will honor You. I pray that you will open the right doors and put the right people in our path this weekend. This music is Your music, please do with it what You will. Sugar Pop is stepping out in faith by putting it out there for other people to hear, please take that faith and take the music and spread it to whomever needs to hear the message. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
