<\/a>I don\u2019t claim to be a smart woman and what I do know, I give God the credit. My memory isn\u2019t all that great and my ability to learn has slowed. But with God in the middle of my learning experiences, I am able to \u201cknow\u201d just a little bit more each day.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So what do you know? Are you allowing God to help you when you don\u2019t feel adequate? Are you seeking God\u2019s guidance when you need to remember something? The greatest and best Tutor is at your fingertips. Why not learn to rely on Him in every area of your life\u2026including remembering and learning.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s blog post is a repeat from last year\u2019s Musical Musings in March. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m Amazed\u201d \u2013 Musical Musings in March<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are some things in this world that amaze me. Like the fact that we had warm temperatures yesterday\u2026in the 50\u2019s. Then a storm from blew through and overnight we received an inch of snow! At least it\u2019s not the foot or two they are getting in the mountains.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019m amazed at technology. The things that someone thought to try (and in some cases tried over and over until they got it right). We\u2019ve come a long way just in my lifetime. From typewriters to computers. From film cameras to digital phone cameras. From filmstrips to DVD\u2019s. From record players to iPods.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019m amazed that we\u2019ve been able to send men and women into space. Some have walked on the moon. We even have a roaming robot on Mars!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n God\u2019s creation always amazes me. The beauty of nature. The unique features of our world. The abilities and instincts of the animal kingdom. The amazing inner workings of the human body.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019m amazed at the kindness of people. My heart is touched when I see goodness. I find deep joy when compassion is shared between individuals.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But most of all, I\u2019m amazed at what God has done for mankind. For me. He has redeemed us through His Son. When I was most unredeemable, God amazed me.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yes, God\u2019s love, mercy, compassion, and grace amaze me every day. I pray that I never take any of these for granted.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I heard today\u2019s tune on the radio last week. I love the grandiose of the arrangement, the richness of the soloist\u2019s voice, and the hundreds of voices that backed up that beautiful voice. But most of all, I was captured by the song\u2019s lyrics.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I recalled feeling alone and empty. I recalled the times I chose to wander and go astray. I recalled living a life of weakness. And then I recalled how amazing it is to live in God\u2019s love. Yes friend, it is amazing!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Maybe this is a song for you. Take a look at what you can find through God\u2019s amazing love and grace. Then reach out to Him. And you too will be amazed at what He has done for you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m Amazed\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n No one knew how alone I was feeling,<\/p>\n And the emptiness I tried so hard to hide.<\/p>\n Though I laughed and said my life was fine without You,<\/p>\n I was covering up the secret tears I had cried.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Then one day someone told me of Your mercy,<\/p>\n And the love you have shown on a hill call Calvary.<\/p>\n There You died and purchased my redemption,<\/p>\n When You broke sins power and set my spirit free.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chorus:<\/p>\n I\u2019m amazed that You love me,<\/p>\n I\u2019m amazed how You care.<\/p>\n Through Your precious blood I found pardon.<\/p>\n And my sins are washed, they\u2019re all washed away.<\/p>\n All my sins are washed away.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yes it\u2019s true, there\u2019s been days when I\u2019ve failed You.<\/p>\n Lord you know the many times I\u2019ve gone astray.<\/p>\n But I\u2019ve learned Your love is stronger than my weakness,<\/p>\n And Your ear is open every time I pray.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n No one else has ever cared for me like You Lord,<\/p>\n Other friends could never be as close to me.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not afraid to face the problems of tomorrow,<\/p>\n Knowing You are everything I\u2019ll ever need.[i]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jason Crabb joined the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir to record this song. Click here <\/a>if you\u2019d like to listen. (This is the only version I could find of this song…the original version has been removed…still, it’s a great song to listen to!)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Life is too short to wander this earth with unamazed eyes, ears and hearts. Take a look around you. Find something to be amazed at today. And please be sure to thank God for His amazing gift\u2026abundant life!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Donna<\/p>\n
