Redux<\/em><\/span> means to revisit, bring back, re-release. \u00a0This last week of 2014, we—the bloggers here at Girlfriends Coffee Hour—are each \u2018revisiting\u2019 a blog we wrote earlier this year. \u00a0We would love to share with you just a bit about how very good God has been to us! \u00a0He has given us all so much grace and mercy, blessings and provision, protection and guidance! \u00a0He has led us and taught us through His Holy Spirit so many incredible things! \u00a0He has molded, and chastised, and encouraged us to be daughters with humble hearts who are dependent upon Him. \u00a0And He has helped us to be strong, committed, and faithful women who love Him and desire to bring Him much honor and glory and majesty. \u00a0We pray that our words would encourage you also…and draw You deeper into relationship with the One Who loves you so! \u00a0Please listen to the words of my friend, Kim….<\/p>\n

This week at GCH the bloggers were asked to go back and give thoughts, insight, and growth from a previously written blog. As I was pondering which songblog to revisit…this one kept popping in my head. I wrote this blog almost a year ago; it is amazing to go back and see where you have come from and what trials have come your way and where you have grown! Growth in all things is the goal.<\/p>\n

I have grown HUGELY since I wrote this blog and, oh boy, as I reflect on 2014 I have had MANY opportunities to practice not being moved no matter what comes my way. God wants us to be solid in our faith\u2014not to be tossed to and fro like the sea when difficult times come. I have encountered some BIG trials this past year and many of which I was not prepared for. It was as if the rug had been pulled out from underneath me\u2026I never saw them coming. However this I have learned and this I know: my God has been faithful in each and everyone of them! And the best part is that, after the dust cleared, I am still standing and I have been strengthened in the process. Strength comes from the journey\u2026.<\/p>\n

What shall we then say to these things?
\nIf God be for us, who can be against us?
\nRomans 8:31<\/p>\n

God\u2019s timing is always perfect! \u00a0To be able to go back to this blog now and have the reminder of how God wants us to be\u2014”steadfast, constant and consistent, keeping on in the faith walk, not wavering to the left or to the right, keeping on the love line<\/span><\/em>“\u2014is exactly what I needed to remember! \u00a0(Maybe you do, too….)<\/p>\n

Father, thank You for our growth opportunities. \u00a0May we do them well as we focus on you. \u00a0In Jesus\u2019 name. AMEN.<\/p>\n

The man I buried had a heart of stone <\/em><\/span>
\n Left him there in the bright light, out on a dirty road <\/em><\/span>
\n The day You saved me from shadow and shame <\/em><\/span>
\n Old things gone, got a new song, got a new name <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Burnin\u2019 like the wildfire, kickin\u2019 up flames <\/em><\/span>
\n A brand new band in the wasteland singing about Grace <\/em><\/span>
\n Gonna jump the fences \u2019til the world is free <\/em><\/span>
\n But I won\u2019t make a move \u2019til You move in me<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m knocking on doors, You\u2019re keeping the keys <\/em><\/span>
\n Maybe they\u2019ll open, maybe they\u2019re not for me <\/em><\/span>
\n I\u2019m setting the sails, You ready the seas <\/em><\/span>
\n But I won\u2019t make a move \u2019til You move in me<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Gonna sing a little louder, gonna rattle these chains <\/em><\/span>
\n Locked up tight \u2019round midnight, won\u2019t stay that way <\/em><\/span>
\n Gonna bless this dirt floor, gonna kiss these walls <\/em><\/span>
\n Singing Your praise \u2019til the earth shakes and watching them fall<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
