"Never Once..... God You Are Faithful"

Psalms 23:1-4 "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pasture. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness, for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

Today has been a little different for me. I woke up feeling good and was thankful to go to church to worship. I need to remember to always wear waterproof mascara when I go to church. The very first song we sang tears began to fall from my eyes and all I could do was stand there and listen to the song without singing. It was a great morning of worship. During the offering our assistant worship leader, Andy Muskrat, sang a beautiful song I had never heard before called "Never Once". I love to hear songs of God's faithfulness. I have posted a link you can copy and paste to hear it and also the lyrics of the song are below. Thank you Andy for allowing God to use you with amazing gifts to minister to others like me.

"Never Once"

Standing on this mountaintop
Looking just how far we’ve come
Knowing that for every step
You were with us

Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in us

Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in us

Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Carried by Your constant grace
Held within Your perfect peace
Never once, no, we never walk alone

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Every step we are breathing in Your grace
Evermore we’ll be breathing out Your praise
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful


Before church this evening I was feeling a little anxious about my upcoming surgery that is one week away and thinking of having more rounds of chemo didn't sound to exciting. I began to let fear and doubt creep into my mind. I could see where on a day to day basis, if you allow him, Satan could sneak in and take your joy away. Tony and I went too church and I am thankful for God and His people in my life. Being in the presence of others, lifts my spirit. After church we went to dinner with the Knipple's, Frank's, Cameron's and Smith couples and I needed that time to refresh me. God is faithful and I am thankful that I never have to walk this journey alone. He will never leave me or forsake me.

"Today is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it."
