COME to ME ...

Even if you do not know French, or have no desire to learn -  today I want to share 3 songs in French that have come to mean a great deal to me (moi, pronounced mwah). 

I do not yet understand either, but this Leonise (a French speaker/singer from Florida has captured my heart through her album "Brisée mais Relevée" which means "Broken but Lifted Up". 

These songs have touched me. As I listen, God speaks to my heart in ways I cannot fully explain. Trust me - I don't even understand most of the words yet! But I am learning, little by little, and I have come to appreciate the heart behind Leonise's music. It is no surprise that she is known as "HeartNotes by Leonise". 

It aMazes me that God can reach the deepest places of my heart through music in a language I am only beginning to learn. Sometimes it feels as though I understand, not because I know every word, but because the Holy Spirit speaks beyond the words directly to my heart. 

For this granddaughter of a French-speaking Grandpa Henry, that alone is enough motivation to learn his language. Listening to this beautiful repertoire of songs has become part of that journey  as God uses them to reach into the deepest places of my heart.

MUSIC is a LANGUAGE

like no other

when it connects with the

Listener

Healing can come through Music

with the touch of God

 

* "Reste près de moi"  

was the first one that caught my attention and my ear, and later learned its meaning. 

Now you don't think I plan to reveal that ... if you're interested, you will 

SEARCH

for the

HEART

of

God

yourself - whether it's through a song, a book, the Bible, a reading plan, nature, your daily life encounters with the Living God speaking and inviting you, actually calling you too - to LISTEN.

This is the next one that moves me by the Spirit of God * "Mon Secours Vient de Toi" (and I somewhat caught some words surprisingly) but once again, I invite you to find out the meaning

* "Tu répares ce que je cache"

This should have been the first to open my eyes that God was in my room and 
"He Touched Me"
[now that's a totally different song that most of you are familiar with and know]
Perhaps 
God used that last song to touch you one time!
If not, click on it, listen and allow Him to touch you (again)
or whenever you may need it

HE chose to use this for me: 

and yes, we also learn by repetition 
The reason for 
"Venez à moi"
to be repeated 4 times
but I am learning that Bible verse
because it is one of the verses in my

So 
let's give God
THANKS & GLORY
once again for 
how 
HE WORKS 
IN US
THROUGH US
and
WITH US
by
HIS
aMazing Grace!
{yes, that's a song that impacts many still}

I guess I have the JOY of the Lord
coming through many songs
and 
the many blessings
GOD
has been bringing to me
and His continual flow
while
"HE
walks with me
and talks with me"
{yes, yet another song}

and HE tells me
I am His Own💙

Many special days this week for one special family
and later in July, for the other special family
but
they are only my special families because
of July 8th, 1985
when
I (we) adopted our son and daughter
so that makes
WEDS.
Got'cha Day
[an extra birthday that they were given when they became ours legally]
and ever since
it's been a day close to my heart
