Heard this song today and it touched my soul. It is called I Saw What I saw and it's by Sara Graves Here is a link to see the video and hear the song. http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=b6f2cb00fa352ebc74b9
It's SO inspirational. (I have emailed her and invited her to join our BraveHeart Women Community! Here are the Lyrics:
I saw what I saw and I can’t forget it –
I heard what I heard and I can’t go back –
I know what I know and I can’t deny it-
Something along the road- Cut me to the soul-
Your pain has changed me… Your dreams inspire.
Your face a memory – Your hope a fire-
Your courage asks me –
What I am afraid of- And what I know of love.
We’ve done what we’ve done and we can’t erase it-
We are what we are and it’s more than enough.
We have what we have but it’s no substitution-
Something along the road- Cut me to the soul-
Your pain has changed me… Your dreams inspire.
Your face a memory – Your hope a fire-
Your courage asks me –
What I am afraid of- And what I know of love.
I say what I say with no hesitation-
I have what I have but I’m giving it up-
I do what I do with a deep conviction-
Something along the road- Cut me to the soul-
Your pain has changed me Your dreams inspire.
Your face a memory – Your hope a fire-
Your pain has changed me Your dreams inspire.
Your face a memory – Your hope a fire-
Your courage asks me – what I am afraid of-
Your courage asks me -What I am made of
Your courage asks me -What I am afraid of
And what I know of love
And what I know of God
Leave your thoughts after the video....
Blessings-

Are You Going To Finish Strong?
There’s always been a feeling in my gut that said, Alane; you are here for a reason. Just keep going. Just keep seeking what it is that God has given you to do. Do the next thing and if you fail – do it again or make some adjustments and try again. Just don’t quit.
Have you ever had that feeling? Do you know you are here for a reason? That God has plans for you. The Bible says: “I Know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
I have to be honest, I have felt like quitting. I have been knocked down and not hurried back to my feet. I have sat in self pity and have even fallen into depression. And do you know what that makes me? It makes me human. Sure, looking back it’s easy to say that on several occasions I could have shown more hope, more strength, and more faith in the Lord but I didn’t and it’s done, in the past. What did happen was I gained. Yes, I gained hope, trust and faith in God. I gleaned the Wisdom God wished for me to understand.
My relationship with God grew deeper and that’s the most important thing and after that, the fact remains that I didn’t quit! No, I have always stood back up and that’s why when I saw this video http://www.maniacworld.com/are-you-going-to-finish-strong.html I knew it needed to be shared. It’s a reminder to all of us. We have everything we need to stand back up and finish strong! Go watch it. It’s two minutes long and worth every second!

Who’s in your family tree?
Okay, I’ll admit it I’m addicted to genealogy! I just love researching old census records, photographs, family lore and the like to find out who my ancestors were. Yes, I have found some "nuts" clinging to my family tree but I bet most trees have them. Most of my relatives were regular, hard-working people with nothing that made them stand out except for two who were "rebels with a cause." One is famous and the other is virtually unknown. Does my relation to them make me special somehow? No. But there is someone I’m related to that does make me, and you, special!
When you began a relationship with God through admitting you had done wrong against Him, had a true desire to change and realized that you needed Him to do so then accepted that Jesus took your punishment for sinning against God you became a
"child of God." So you are officially in the lineage of God! Wow, now that changes the look of your family tree doesn’t it? There’s God and directly below Him is YOU! There are no "nuts" or famous people between you and God, just God then you! Now that's a relationship that does make us something special.
So the next time the world tries to tell you you’re unlovable, worthless or too scarred from your past to be of any use, just remember whose child you are. God has forgiven and forgotten your past and wants to help you become all that He knows you are. Focus on who’s at the top of your spiritual family tree and keep on growing!
If you don't have this kind of relationship with God yet, We're here to tell you that you can and you can have it TODAY! (Please feel free to write us if you want to know more at: info@ChristianWomenNow.com .)
"For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God." (1 John 5:4-5 NIV)
