Stardust - Heart's Desire

Something has been on my mind and its about how certain movies we watch can remind us of scripture. For the first week of October; I feel we are going to continue from last month of finding songs that relate to our love of christ, to movies!

Here is how it will work - watch a movie or remember one that you have seen and see what points of the film God reminds you of and let him lead you to scripture that relates, and share. 

Here is an example - The movie "Stardust" from 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stardust_(2007_film) 

The main plot of the story is about a guy and a girl who met and fall in love. The boy's grandfather on his deathbed throws out into the nights sky a large ruby stone and it happens to hit a star; knocking it out of the sky. The star falls and it's the girl. In order to impress some other girl the boys sets off to find the fallen star not knowing its the girl. 

Along the way, trying to get back to his home with the star girl, he finds his long lost thought to be dead mother, his uncles who want the stone which was picked up by the star so they could inherit the kingdom , some witches who want the star so they could stay young, and a cross dressing sky pirates.

In the end the star girl gives her heart to the boy and they ruled the grandfather's kingdom for 80 years. 

Now, you are probably wondering what scripture I could have possibly found that has anything to do with anything in the bible; but I did!

“‘For here’s what I’m going to do: I’m going to take you out of these countries, gather you from all over, and bring you back to your own land. I’ll pour pure water over you and scrub you clean. I’ll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed. I’ll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands. You’ll once again live in the land I gave your ancestors. You'll be my people! I’ll be your God!

Ezekiel 36:23-25 

Ok so when you, or if you plan to see the film this will make a lot of sense. 

1. The boy was taken away from his land where he lived to go search for the star. 
2. His mother, his uncles and the witches came from all over 
3. The star girl had to take a bath and get washed clean
4. She got a new heart when she fell in love with the boy
5. Ruby Stone equals stone heart
6. He returned to his grandfather's kingdom = land of his ancestors

So it is funny living in my mind! AMEN

How I feel today

Hello all I was just sitting here listening to some music, this song came on and all I though of was how I fell about God. My life is in a state of change I am not scared(as much) of getting hurt by life. I stand up for what I want and have the faith that God will would be done in my life. This song say what I am felling.

Faith of the Heart!

I love that by accepting christ's into my life I entered into a covenant with him; that I now have the ability to HOPE for a better life WITH christ. I have hope, and with hope I have faith to believe in the love of Jesus! AMEN!

Romans 5:1-5

The Voice (VOICE)

In God’s plan to restore a fallen and disfigured world, Abraham became the father of all of us, the agent of blessing to everyone. Jesus completes what God started centuries before when He established Abraham’s covenant family. Those who put faith in Jesus and call Him “Lord” become part of Abraham’s faith family. Because God is gracious, loving, and merciful, men and women from every corner of the earth are not only declared right, but ultimately are made right as well. It happens through God’s actions—not our efforts—in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus who was crucified for our misdeeds and raised to repair what has been wrong all along. So the promises of God made long years ago are being realized in men and women who hear the call of faith and answer “yes” to it.

5 Since we have been acquitted and made right through faith, we are able to experience true and lasting peace with God through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, the Liberating King. 2 Jesus leads us into a place of radical grace where we are able to celebrate the hope of experiencing God’s glory.3 And that’s not all. We also celebrate in seasons of suffering because we know that when we suffer we develop endurance, 4 which shapes our characters. When our characters are refined, we learn what it means to hope and anticipate God’s goodness. 5 And hope will never fail to satisfy our deepest need because the Holy Spirit that was given to us has flooded our hearts with God’s love.

Song Selection: 

It's been a long road

Getting from there to here

It's been a long time

But my time is finally near

And I can feel the change in the wind right now

Nothings in my way

And they're not gonna hold me down no more

No there not gonna hold me down

Cause I've got faith of the heart

I'm going where my heart will take me

I've got faith to believe

I can do anything

I've got strength of the soul

And no one's gonna bend or break me

I can reach any star

I've got faith

I've got faith

Faith of the heart

It's been a long night

Trying to find my way

Been through the darkness

Now I finally have my day

I will see my dream come alive at last

I will touch the sky

And they're not gonna hold me down no more

No there not gonna change my mind

Cause I've got faith of the heart

I'm going where my heart will take me

I've got faith to believe

I can do anything

I've got strength of the soul

And no one's gonna bend or break me

I can reach any star

I've got faith

Faith of the heart

I've known a wind so cold and seen the darkest days

But now the winds I feel are only winds of change

I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain

But I'll be fine

Cause I've got faith of the heart

I'm going where my heart will take me

I've got faith to believe

I can do anything

I've got strength of the soul

And no one's gonna bend or break me

I can reach any star

I've got faith

Faith of the heart

Faith of the heart

I'm going where my heart will take me

I've got faith to believe

That no one's gonna bend or break me

I can reach any star

I've got faith

I've got faith

Faith of the heart

Its been a long road

Everything's gonna Be alright!

Rise in the morning and be greeted by the father, son, and the holy spirit( three little birds ); telling you that your day is starting in peace cause they are with you, step on out the door the world is waiting for you! 

Philippians 4:6-7

New Living Translation (NLT)

6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Three Little Birds

by Bob Marley

"Don't worry about a thing, 

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right. 

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, 

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!" 

Rise up this mornin', 

Smiled with the risin' sun, 

Three little birds 

Pitch by my doorstep 

Singin' sweet songs 

Of melodies pure and true, 

Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:") 

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing, 

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right." 

Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing, 

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!" 

Rise up this mornin', 

Smiled with the risin' sun, 

Three little birds 

Pitch by my doorstep 

Singin' sweet songs 

Of melodies pure and true, 

Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:" 

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh! 

Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, 

'Cause every little thing gonna be alright" - I won't worry! 

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, 

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right." 

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, oh no! 

'Cause every little thing gonna be alright!

How I felt when I was saved and committed my life to Jesus

How I felt when I was saved and committed my life to Jesus

Come near to God and he will come near to you. James 4:8

Coming out of the dark

Songwriters: ESTEFAN, GLORIA M. / ESTEFAN, EMILIO JR. / SECADA, JON

Why be afraid if I'm not alone
Though life is never easy the rest in unkown
Up to now for me it's been hands against stone
Spent each and every moment
Searching for what to believe
(chorus)
Coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now
It's shinning on me
Coming out of the dark, I know the love that saved me
You're sharing with me

Starting again is part of the plan
And I'll be so much stronger holding your hand
Step by step I'll make it through I know I can
It may not make it easier but I have felt you
Near all the way

(repeat chorus)

Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love
Forever I'll stand on the rock
Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love
Love is all it takes, no matter what we face

(chorus out)

I'll Follow The Son!

I love the Beatles but I love Jesus more. Today I share I'll follow the Sun(son) by the beatles. The song makes me think of the friends I have lost through my walk with christ and my hope that one day they will know a but friend name Jesus! 


Proverbs 2:9-15

So now you can pick out what’s true and fair, find all the good trails! Lady Wisdom will be your close friend, and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion. Good Sense will scout ahead for danger, Insight will keep an eye out for you. They’ll keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions Of those who are lost themselves and can’t tell a trail from aa tumbleweed, These losers who make a game of evil and throw parties to celebrate perversity, Traveling paths that go nowhere, wandering in a maze of detours and dead ends.

One day

You'll look to see I've gone

For tomorrow may rain

So I'll follow the son

Some day

You'll know that his the one

But tomorrow may rain

So I'll follow the son

And now the time has come

And so my dear I must go

And though I lose a friend

In the end you will know

Oh one day

You'll find that I have gone

But tomorrow may rain

So I'll follow the son

Yet tomorrow may rain

So I'll follow the son

And now the time has come

And so my dear I must go

And though I lose a friend

In the end you will know

Oh one day

You'll find that I have gone

But tomorrow may rain

So I'll follow the son

What Jesus did for us

Luke 23:44-46
New International Version (NIV)

44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, 45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[a] When he had said this, he breathed his last.

(Everything I Do) I Do It For You by Bryan Adams

Look into my eyes – you will see
What you mean to me.
Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more.

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for.
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for.
You know it's true:
Everything I do, I do it for you.

Look into your heart – you will find
There's nothin' there to hide.
Take me as I am, take my life.
I would give it all, I would sacrifice.

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more
You know it's true:
Everything I do, I do it for you, oh, yeah.

There's no love like your love
And no other could give more love.
There's nowhere unless you're there
All the time, all the way, yeah.

Don't Lose My Number Jesus!

I believe in Jesus Christ and that he talks to me and you.  He is our lord protector, our shelter in all kinds of weather. He knows where we are and what we are doing and why. When David was hiding out from Saul, he hid under the protection and promise of God. With that kind a faith in God that a warrior would hide and let God do his will; is a power thing!

I share today Psalm 57:1-3 from the message version and Phil Collins "don't lose my number"; When I hear this song now it feels like Jesus talking about me and to me. 


Psalm 57:1-3

[ A David Psalm, When He Hid in a Cave from Saul ] Be good to me, God—and now! I’ve run to you for dear life. I’m hiding out under your wings until the hurricane blows over. I call out to High God, the God who holds me together. He sends orders from heaven and saves me, he humiliates those who kick me around. God delivers generous love, he makes good on his word.

They came at night leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find her
No evidence was found
"I'm never going back"
They heard her cry
And I believe her
Well she never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if she waits too long

Sheila, Sheila don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere
That I can find you
Oh now Sheila, Sheila don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh no

Searching through the day and into the night
They wouldn't stop till they found her
They didn't know her and they didn't understand
They never asked her why
"Get out of my way"
They heard her shout
Then a blinding light
Ooh all I could see was her running down the street
Out of the shadows and into the light

Now Sheila, Sheila don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now Sheila, Sheila don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh

Don't give up
Keep praying, keep praising
Don't give up
Sheila, if you know you're right
Don't give up
You know that I am on your side
Don't give up
Oh Sheila, you better, you better, you better have faith all your life

Now Sheila, Sheila don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now Sheila, Sheila don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh
Now Sheila, Sheila don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now Sheila, Sheila don't you lose my number
Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh

Don't Lose My # - Phil Collins

Start of something...

Happy Thursday J Today I wanted to keep it simple I found a song that says how I felt falling in love with Jesus.

I Finally Found Someone  by BRYAN ADAMS and Barbra Streisand

I finally found someone, that knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, that makes me feel complete

We started over prayer, we started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin

This time it's different,

Dah dah dah dah

It's all because of you,

Dah dah dah dah

It's better than it's ever been

'Cause we can talk it through

Oh, my favorite line was John 3:16
It's all you had to say

To take my breath away
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night

'Cause whatever I do,

It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone

My Jesus Eclipse!

For me there are many times I allow people and things to surpass the reality of the peace Christ has bestowed upon my life. I tend to forgot that he is with me at ALL times and I do dumb and sometimes irrational things. It makes me wonder about the people who lived in the kingdom that was destroyed by the fifth angel in Revelations. These people refused to KNOW christ and suffered pain; yet I know and accept him and still suffer but unlike them I DO know peace.

Revelation 16:10-11

The fifth Angel poured his bowl on the throne of the Beast: Its kingdom fell into sudden eclipse. Mad with pain, men and women bit and chewed their tongues, cursed the God-of-Heaven for their torment and sores, and refused to repent and change their ways.

No COMMERCIAL use intened 

Turn around, every now and then

I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round

Turn around, every now and then

I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears

Turn around, every now and then

I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by

Turn around, every now and then

I get a little bit terrified and then I hear your voice in my heart

Turn around, dear child

Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around, dear child

Every now and then I fall apart

Turnaround, every now and then

I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild

Turnaround, every now and then

I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms

Turnaround, every now and then

I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry

Turnaround, every now and then

I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes

Turnaround dear child

Every now and then I fall apart

Turnaround dear child

Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you keep on holdin me tight

I'll be holding on forever

And you'll always be making it right

'Cause you'll never go wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

I know that with you, you're always in control 

I'm living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Forever's gonna to start tonight

Forever's gonna to start tonight

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Hump day

Hello everyone with today being hump day, I just had to do two songs. The first is about the bible. Some say the bible is god love letter to us other don’t.  I say it is a little of booth it, it is a love letter and a teaching guide for us.  This song I think Jesus would sing to us if he felt like it.

We're no strangers to love 
You know the rules and so do I 
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of 
You wouldn't get this from any other guy 
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling 
Gotta make you understand 

CHORUS 
Never gonna give you up, 
Never gonna let you down 
Never gonna run around and desert you 
Never gonna make you cry, 
Never gonna say goodbye 
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you 

We've known each other for so long 
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it 
Inside we both know what's been going on 
We know the game and we're gonna play it 
And if you ask me how I'm feeling 
Don't tell me you're too blind to see (CHORUS) 

CHORUSCHORUS 
(Ooh give you up) 
(Ooh give you up) 
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give 
(give you up) 
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give 
(give you up) 

We've known each other for so long 
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it 
Inside we both know what's been going on 
We know the game and we're gonna play it (TO FRONT)

The Second song is a song for when remember (because the best of us can forget) that we are women and just want to be loved.

"(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman"

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired

Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind

'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along, to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
'Til your kiss helped me name it

Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more

'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Oh, baby, what you done to me?
You make me feel so good inside
And I just wanna be close to you
You make me feel so alive

You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Steady Hope

Psalm 130:5

New International Version (NIV)

⁵ I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
    and in his word I put my hope

Captured effortlessly 
That's the way it was 
Happened so naturally 
I did not know it was love 
The next thing I felt was 
You holding me close 
What was I gonna do? 
I let myself go 

And now we're flyin' through the heavens
I hope this life will last forever 

I've been waitin' for you 
It's been so long 
I knew just what I would do 
When I heard your word
You filled my heart with a word 
Ya gave me freedom 
You knew I could not resist 
I needed Jesus 

And now we're flyin' through the heavens
I hope this life will last forever 
Oh oh oh oh 

[CHORUS:] 
Ain't nobody 
Loves me better 
Makes me happy 
Makes me feel this way 
Ain't nobody 
Loves me better than Jesus

I wait for right time to come 
To praise your name 
I can't believe I'm the one 
I was so lonely 
I feel like no one could feel 
I must be dreamin' 
I want this dream to be real 
I need this feelin' 

I make my praise upon your name
And know this life will last forever 

[CHORUS] 

At first you put your arms around me 
Then you put your word around me 
I can't resist this sweet surrender 
On a life so warm and tender 
We stare into each other's eyes 
And what we see is no surprise 
Got a feeling most with treasure 
And a love so deep we cannot measure 

[CHORUS]

Jesus the Ghostbuster!

We are human and there are going to be many things in life that will scare us but christ is REAL!. So when you get scared like the disciples who thought the resurrected Jesus was a ghost, you rest assured he is real and will protect you! AMEN



Luke 24:37-41
The Message (MSG)
36-41 While they were saying all this, Jesus appeared to them and said, “Peace be with you.” They thought they were seeing a ghost and were scared half to death. He continued with them, “Don't be upset, and don't let all these doubting questions take over. Look at my hands; look at my feet—it’s really me. Touch me. Look me over from head to toe. A ghost doesn't have muscle and bone like this.” As he said this, he showed them his hands and feet. They still couldn't believe what they were seeing. It was too much; it seemed too good to be true.

Ghostbusters Theme Song

Jesus Your My Everything

Shelia has been calling me a junkie for Christ. I need my fix of Jesus everyday for my life to go right. So for today song I came up with Barry White You're The First, The Last, My Everything. I do not own any right to this song. 

"You're The First, The Last, My Everything"

My first, my last, my everything

And the answer to all my dreams

You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star

My kind of wonderful, that's what you are

I know there's only, only one like you

There's no way they could have made two

You're all I'm living for, your love I'll keep forevermore

First, you're the last, my everything

In you I've found so many things

A love so new, only you could bring

Can't you see it's you? You make me feel this way

You're like a first morning dew on a brand new day

I see so many ways that I can love you 'til the day I die

You're my reality, yet I'm lost in a dream

You're the first, the last, my everything

I know there's only, only one like you

There's no way they could have made two

Jesus, you're my reality, but I'm lost in a dream

You're the first, you're the last, my everything

Always on time!

One of the awesome things that I love about Jesus is that he is always there time after time. So my song to share today is time after time by Cyndi Lauper.  My scripture is from Matthew 6:25-27 about not having to worry, cause god is always there.

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?

"Time After Time"

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion -
Is nothing new
Flashback - warm nights -
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after -

Sometimes you picture me -
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said -
Then you say - go slow -
I fall behind -
The second hand unwinds

[Chorus:]
If you're lost you can look - and you will find him
Time after time
If you fall he will catch you - he'll be waiting 
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has 
Turned to gray
Watching through windows - you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time -

[Chorus:]
If you're lost...

You said go slow -
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds -

[Chorus:]
If you're lost...
...Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Time after Time - Cyndi Lauper

I need you Lord

I choose this song to start off because 3 and a half years ago I was begging God to come into my life and fix me.  I needed him any way I could get him, he came and saved me. From that point on I have been his child. That why I am starting with this song. I have no right to this song and I am not using it for profit. 

You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can

You can reach me by sail boat, climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope, into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can

There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer

(interlude, then repeat bridge)

You can windsurf into my life, take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon, but you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can

I don't care how you get here, just -- get here if - you can.
