Thirsty for Him

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance!

"Shackles (Praise You)"

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance

I just wanna praise you(What'cha wanna do?)I just wanna praise you

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands

And I'm gonna praise you

I'm gonna praise you

In the corners of mind

I just can't seem to find a reason to believe

That I can break free

Cause you see I have been down for so long

Feel like the hope is gone

But as I lift my hands, I understand

That I should praise you through my circumstance

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance

I just wanna praise youI just wanna praise you

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands

And I'm gonna praise youI'm gonna praise you

Everything that could go wrong

All went wrong at one time

So much pressure fell on me

I thought I was gon lose my mind

But I know you wanna see

If I will hold on through these trials

But I need you to lift this load

Cause I can't take it anymore

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance

I just wanna praise youI just wanna praise you

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands

And I'm gonna praise youI'm gonna praise you

Been through the fire and the rainBound in every kind of way

But God has broken every chain

So let me go right now

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance

I just wanna praise you

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands

I just wanna praise you.....

Fear

Worry

Sin

Jealousy

Hatred

Unforgiveness

Selfishness

Greed

I am free!

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance!

Thankful Thursday

Oh, Lord, how I thank you! God, you are so awesome, so glorious, so good to me.

Today, I am so thankful for my 11 year old son!

My daughter Aly lost ANOTHER tooth last night, but the "tooth fairy" fell asleep and forgot to leave money for tooth. I was out walking this morning, praying for my kids when I remembered! By the time I got back home all of the kids were awake. I grabbed my 11 yr. old Andrew and whispered "tooth fairy!" in his ear. He snuck in her room and left money under her pillow before I had taken off my coat and shoes.

Aly was playing in her room with Aaron and Ashley and they had not noticed Andrew's trick. When I came in, Aly told me in her sad voice, "The tooth fairy didn't come last night!" She ran over to her bed to show me, pulled down the covers, and picked up her pillow. When she did that, we heard change jingling. When she looked under her sheet, she found 46 cents! (All Andrew had)

She exclaimed, "The tooth fairy hid my money! Silly tooth fairy!"

I am so thankful for my sweet son's heart. He loves his sisters and brother and takes such good care of them. He is very tender hearted and caring. Thank you, God for Andrew!
