That Which the Locust Has Eaten

~ Hope Handed Down~
Here is a collection of songs--some new, some old--to encourage you during times of trial and painful growth. Many of them have been used by the Lord during my most challenging seasons. (The credit for this collection belongs entirely to Ninja-Hime-chan and Imouto-chan, with a shout-out to Michelle. Thank you, beautiful ladies! You bless my life. It’s an honor and a privilege.)

*DO*NOT*WATCH*THE*VIDEOS* (Many of them are distracting at best, and counter-productive at worst.)

Just close your eyes. Picture yourself torn, scratched, and weary... fallen to your knees at the farthest end of the Lord's throne room. And as you make your way through these songs, I hope you begin to picture him beckoning you closer. Accept His invitation, my dear reader. Crawl...walk...run toward Him. Climb into His lap and let the comfort of His embrace surround your weary being. You are Home, my friend. And you are Loved.

Umm, ok. I would like to point out that I have 2 songs on that list. The credit doesn't go to me! :P

Not true. The last title was your suggestion as well--made on a
much earlier post.

Ah... I didn't think you actually read that post.

Thanks, babe! I added a couple of your suggestions (something I meant to do a looooong time ago). You are very much appreciated, my friend. *-*

I'm continuing to pray for you. Keep pressing in. This is a hard fight; I know you're weary. But as a friend of mine (who has very nice carpet and sometimes spoils me with Oreos) remarked recently, "I know the Lord has already won this battle." We serve such a fantastic Lord, don't we Imoutochan? ^-^ I'm happy we serve Him together.

*rolls eyes* *smiles* You added one. Yeah, great contibution... ;)

not4myself said...

I added two. (The links for Hold My Heart kept dying, so that one is no longer up. *sniff, sniff*) These were the two that my tired brain could figure out where to add them in the preexisting order. I really like the others, though. They're all saved in a document, waiting to be used.

Oh, I absolutely love From the Inside Out. It's one of my all-time favorites! Thank you for reminding me. I'm looking forward to listening to these after church. <3 Jj

Thank you for continuing to bless my life, dear friend.
