“How Can I Keep From Singing?”

With many things the Lord has given me to do, I fall short so many more times

than I can count.

It is as this moment, when I an trying to dust myself off and pick up the pieces that I find my heartaches to lean on the most wonderful friend, husband and confident a woman could ever hope to have walk alongside of her, a father to help guide, nurture and raise a family with. It is t these times, I am reminded, the Lord the Father of all has never left my side. He was there when he allowed my beloved to marry me and continues hold out His Hand ready to lead me forward on the journey with Him.

He places others beside me for moments at a time and removes them, when we have learned all we needed from one another. The Lord then helps me refocus on Him again.

Sometimes, I stumble, I fall, and even balk at being drawn closer to Him,

as the loneliness, takes my breath away for a moment,

and then the Love of my soul comes swooping in to let me know, He blessed me with Faith to move mountains and reminds me of all I have been allowed to accomplish just because I put my Faith in Him.

All my sorrow, all my blessings, so many blessings, He so fit to hand me along the way, and my heart leaps in my chest, and it is there, I know my Creator is Real, and He loves me more than anyone could here on earth.

It is then, I find my voice again, and all I can do is sing the Lord’s praises,

wherever I am, and for whomever might ask

For the past twenty-two months (22 months), I have been called to do more research, read more books, sign up for more workshops, take a plethora zoom classes, and done more investigating than I have done in my entire life.

The drive to gather find the Truth, and solutions for current obstacles in order to be more prepared to help others, has been a force I have not been able to shake.  

The awareness, not to be dependent on anyone or anything here on earth, but to be a prepared to be the one that others come to when they need a hand has been at the forefront of my mind. I want to be of service for the greater Glory of God. Especially, with the continuing knowledge pouring out of every crevice of the infiltration of Churches, states, countries, and governments from around the world. Though one by one, they are failing, and being exposed, I see families, the heart of all Churches are being torn apart, losing loved ones out of fear and suppression of remedies that can heal and prevented from the Truth.

Tonight, I have so many placed before me to pray for tonight.

 I lift all my failings, all my anxiety, bouts of loneliness, and all the fear, grief, anger, frustration at the Lord’s Feet at the foot of His Cross.

I humbly as Him to shower blessings of Hope and Healing on everyone and their families on my prayer list as well as those who will soon be added to my list,

this day and every day until the end of time.

  Thank you for reminding me to continue to sing His Praise!

 Lord it is You always first. I humbly ask Your Loving Presence to forever flow through my heart.

Please never let it close on You, Lord.

My heart is Yours use as a conduit.

Please pour Your Life Giving, Light, Love and Healing Powers through it,

infusing every joyful note I can muster,

until my last breath here on earth.

 I heard, Chris Tomlin’s rendition of an older hymn “How Can I Keep From Singing? By American Baptist Minister, Robert Lowry, which is uplifting in its own right, but Chris Tomlin’s rendition and adaptation of more lyrics in his fashion took an older hymn and it truly touched my heart.

I share it on my Facebook Deanna DeeDee DeBondt and Instagram: HealingthruSong, only as a cover, and to help all my friends and family know, I am praying and to remind them though the joy and the pain. God is right their next to us, every step of the way.
