My Changing View

I've been taking pictures of the view from my kitchen window.  I started in January, and have taken several since.  Today, I was looking at the pictures, and enjoying the noticeable changes in the landscape.

Change is good.  I'm thankful for the changes in my life because of Jesus Christ. 

Here's a song I really like.  It's titled Ephesians Chapter One, and Karen Peck and New River are singing.

Ephesians Chapter 1

In the middle of the battle when all that really matters
Is a place where I can find relief
I even start to wonder if the stress I’m under
Is turnin my joy into grief
I’ve been beat down, backed down, found myself on the ground
Thought I would lose my mind
Then I opened up the Bible and found I could rely on
Ephesians chapter one.
          God says I’m blessed, I’m chosen, I’m adopted I’m favored
          Redeemed, yeah, I’m forgiven
         Makes me wanna sing, I’m a child of the king and now I’m a
         really livin’
         By the blood of the Lamb, I know who I am
        God said it and it’s already done
        When the devil comes in, I remind him again
        Of Ephesians chapter one.
I don’t mean to sound proud
’cause you know I’ve been down
When the struggle almost took me out
But I found that God was workin in the middle of the hurtin
So I trust him and I don’t have a doubt
That His fear takin’, way makin’ chain breakin’ life changin’
Power’s gonna see me through
So I’m never gonna worry, even when He doesn’t hurry
‘Cause I know what the Lord can do.

God says I’m blessed, I’m chosen, I’m adopted I’m favored
Redeemed, yeah, I’m forgiven
Makes me wanna sing, I’m a child of the king and now I’m a really livin’
By the blood of the Lamb, I know who I am
God said it and it’s already done
When the devil comes in, I remind him again
Of Ephesians chapter one.
I open up my Bible and I know I can rely on Ephesians Chapter One!
