I am being crushed again, broken and bleeding by a man I am not in love with.
Shepherd, please help me receive the self esteem I need to either leave him or continue because I am failthful and loyal and will always remain honest.

Cybthia has told me ~~~
It is my pleasure to share my experiences with you. 
I would love to see you come into the power that is rightly yours to have.
******don't allow yourself to be diminished by the actions of another.*****
That was THE PAST and we leave that behind us.
**We are stronger** than most having survived all that we survived.  Yes, for me because of my Shepherd.  I just do not seize that strength, I feel crushed and unable to seize it.
Few could have done all that we have done.  Remember that.

Sanctus Real - Forgiven (Slideshow With Lyrics)

don't have to carry the weight of who I've been...
I'm a treasure in the arms of Christ ....
cause I'm forgiven

Sanctus Real, Forgiven

found another rendition of COME THOU FOUNT by Jadon Lavik
Jadon Lavik, Come Thou Fount
The video is awesome
     the Scripture pertinent
          the quotes eye opening I felt every teardrop when in darkness you cried

Love Has Come

my Redeemer

I know my Shepherd lives

Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning
Who told the ocean you an only come this far?
Who showed the moon where to hide 'til evening
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?
Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testify
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives
The very same God that spins things in orbit
He runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory
Now I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life wihtin me cry
I know my Redeemer, He lives
To take away my shame
And He lives forever I'll proclaim
That the payment for my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He's alive
And there's an empty grave.
And I know my Redeemer, He lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives

fill up my soul come make me whole

Sometimes at night
I am afraid
I cover my eyes,
Cover my shame
So here in the dark
Broken apart
Come with your light
And fill up my heart
Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace
To fill up my heart
The wind of this world
Can push us around
Folding us up
Backing us down
But here in the dark
I’m not alone
So come with your strength
And carry me home
Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace
Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace
To fill up my heart
The light of your grace
To fill up my heart

I went to Hobby Lobby today just looking cause i didnt want to go/come home and i found a 4x4 plaque with Psalm 23:1-4 on it, so for half price i claimed it.  i looked for some sheep like sheri has and found none.....but the plaque goes well with the sheepie Carl's Mary gave me and the llittle ones from the manger scene.

i wish there were more songs with the word SHEPHERD in it.

the song running through my mind is:Psalm 84:10
How lovely is your dwelling place, oh, Lord almighty
For my soul longs and even faints for you
Lord, here my heart is satisfied within your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of your wings

(Chorus)
Better is one day in your court, better is one day in your house
Better is one day in your court than thousands elsewhere
{Repeat}

One thing I ask and I would seek, to see your beauty
To find you in the place your glory dwells
One thing I ask and I would seek, to see your beauty
To find you in the place your glory dwells

My heart and flesh cry out for you the living God
Your spirit's water to my soul
I've tasted and I've seen, come once again to me
I will draw near to you, I will draw near to you

Matt Redman, Better is One Day
