Hi Brian!

Over all of the years since I first received Jesus as Lord and Saviour, He has often spoken to me through music! I can't explain why as I have never studied music and have never had a singing voice that I had conifdence in, but He has always done that! There is a line in a song on the newest Brandon Lake album that I shared with you in the last blog that really ministers to me! Here are the lyrics to the portion I am referring to:

There was something in the marrow
Always coursin' through my veins
But buried deeper than the rubble
Is my Daddy's DNA

This means a lot to me after finding out about my own heritage through a DNA test. I found out  the why of so many things that have always been different in me than the siblings I grew up with. Personality, interests, intelligence, temperment and so many other traits and characteristics. So when I heard these lyrics, it made me realize that when we received JESUS, we received His nature! We received the abilities needed to carry out what He has called us to do and also, as we spend time in His Word and in His presence, some of Who HE is always rubs off on us and becomes a part of who we now are! What I beleive He wants you to realize from this is that no matter what happens in the world around you, IN HIM you will ALWAYS have what is needed to overcome! The Wisdom, understanding, discernment, creative ideas and instinct to to tackle any and every situation, will be as though it has always been a part of you! This is the most exciting time to be alive and I believe that the rest of this year and all of the year to come will be your very BEST and MOST BLESSED than any before! Here is that song again for you to hear!

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
