Hymns II: Shine On Us

Michael W. Whenever Michael W. Smith releases a new album I always get excited. Imagine perhaps a 12 year old on their birthday and you are not far off, from how I feel about getting a new Smitty album. :)

Michael W. First of all, one of the things i appreciate the most about Michael W. Smith is that when he releases special editions of his albums they are released at the same time as the regular album. It's left...

Live every moment! :D | Posted September-29-2010
This book is a reminder to me that our lives here on earth are short, and that we need to enjoy it to it's fullest! :D It's also a reminder that we all have a unique purpose to fulfil while we're here. GOD designed us all for a purpose and not just to merely create something for the sake of creating it. :D
Many times we don't understand why GOD allowed for someone we love to die or face something horrible, but it's all in his infinite plan, which we'll come to understand when He calls us all Home! :D what a day that will be!! :D
AWESOME BOOK!!! :D | Posted September-26-2010
Inspired by the popular song, 'Place In This World,' Michael W. Smith tells about how this song wasn't meant as a pop sensation, but really as just a song of encouragement, for struggling Christians, who don't feel like they belong. GOD had other plans though, and it sparked the attention of mainstream radio, and immediately became a success...
I'm one of those people that has absolutely no plan for my life, and I don't have any certain college picked out, (nor do I intend to waste my time and money either!) :D
I've been raised more conservatively, and have been sheltered from the world, most of my life. At times I've found myself standing alone on certain issues... At times I've struggled to find my 'Place In This World', and wonder where I belong...
This book is an encouragement to me, and has helped me realize that GOD has some kind of amazing purpose for me, and I don't have to have my life all mapped out, in order to find my perfect 'Place In This World.' :D
FANTASTIC! :D | Posted September-27-2010
I've been hearing about this album for probably about a year now, and it's finally two days from officially releasing. It's going to be showing up in my mailbox soon, and I can't wait!!! :D Today I was pretty ecstatic to have an opportunity to listen to the full album, via Jesus Freak Hideout. (Don't worry, I'm still partial to New Release Tuesday!):D
I may be a little biased to say it's a FANTASTIC album, but I swear it was written just for me! :D
Right now I'm going through some tough stuff in life, that's driving me crazy! I'm pretty much laid up in bed, healing from surgery, and my family is crumbling around me. It just makes me want to 'Leave.'
I'm reminded that I can 'Rise' above it all, and give it 'One More Time.' :D 'This is what you're made for, standing in the downpour, Knowing that the sun will shine, Forget what lies behind you, Heaven walks beside you, You've got to give it one more try, One more time.'
I can't put into words how amazing this album is. It just 'Take's My Breath Away,' you'll have to give it a listen for yourself. :D
My favorite song is definitely One More Time, with Take My Breath Away, at a close second, and honorable mentions to all the rest! :D
a book for beginners.... | Posted August-24-2010
it's a good message about how to think positive, and focus on being a winner in life, but that's not all that being a Christian is about...
this book makes for a good starting point for the new baby Christian, but it's only just merely the 'formula' to sustain them for a short while. in order to become a mature adult Christian, we need to get off the baby formula, and dig into the meat.
if you're looking for a good meaty book that will help strengthen your faith and walk with GOD, i'd strongly recommend you chuck this book, and get something else like, The Ragamuffin Gospel - Brennan Manning, or It's Time To Be Bold - Michael W. Smith, or better yet, just read the Bible!! :D

BEST BOOK EVER!! :D | Posted July-08-2010
this is an amazing book! it totally changed my life! it helped me realize what Christianity really means! we as Christians need to live out our Christianity, and not just sit around and say we are. actions do speak louder than words! this is a book that i believe every Christian should read! :D
awesome! :D | Posted June-23-2010
i've finally gotten my hands on a copy of this cd, which wasn't an easy task... no one at any of my local music stores had even heard of it, or knew that it even existed... that was a bit frustrating... so i had to breakdown and order it online... got it about a week and a half later... :D
i've listened through the whole album now... pretty good! :D don't care for a couple of the songs, and some of them are okay, but my favorite's definitely Come Together Now! :D
BEST SONG ON THE ENTIRE ALBUM!!! :D
honorable mentions: Everlasting GOD - Lincoln Brewster, Healer - Kari Jobe, Mighty To Save - Tommy Coomes Band
great book! | Posted April-11-2010
the title says it all... one can never hear those words enough, and there is no such thing as saying 'I love you' or 'You are important to me,' too much. Verna paints an accurate picture of how much GOD loves us, and how we matter to Him. :D
