On a road trip this side of Eden, I discovered all

On a road trip this side of Eden, I discovered all we need to do is fix our eyes on Jesus.

The green is coming back, and blooms are everywhere with lovely weather. The bugs are waking up, and yellow pollen is falling from the pines. It feels like spring because I am springing into Spring – literally. But I love it, and I’m so grateful to God. I will never get over the beautiful transformation of dormant trees to electric green. Alive bouquets of yellows, pinks, and white. It is so fantastic and spectacular. This is our God!

And oh gosh, what God is teaching me – to hold fast to Him. To trust Him with everything. To be adaptable. Although I may have to-do lists of my desires, dreams, and hopes, He establishes my steps. So, I show up in good faith daily to what He calls me to do. It’s all exciting! This is where my heart is.

These beginnings of Spring are glimpses into God’s eternal garden. It is going to be amazing. All we need to do is fix our eyes on Jesus

Should we exchange our complaints, grumblings, and

Should we exchange our complaints, grumblings, and dissatisfactions for praising God?

God turns our suffering, waiting, and trials into beautiful songs of hope, deliverance, and redemption. There is so much goodness in our God.

Let God give you a new song. Jump up and down in joy, singing, and dancing, praising Him for answered prayer, saving us, and His eternal love.

Read more about how God gives us spontaneous outbursts of songs to praise Him

"Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear and trust in the Lord." Psalm 40:3 NKJV

In 1984, my all-girl punk band Raszebrae recorded

In 1984, my all-girl punk band Raszebrae recorded an album with SPOT (Glenn Lockett) on his record label Unseen Records. He then took us on a USA van tour, and when our bass player was sick, he filled in. He passed away this morning after a long illness. He was a wonderful friend who kept me out of trouble in those days. We kept in touch over the years and saw each other last in Austin while I was there filming. Rest in peace, my friend.

It is easy to be distracted and forgetful, but the continuous intentional practice of praising God opens the eyes of our hearts to His goodness and blessings all around us.

Praise pleases God. And praise is more than just emotions, feelings, or thoughts. It encompasses our whole mind, body, and soul. Our singing, hymns, and thanks-living of continual praise is a pleasing sweet-smelling aroma to God.

Therefore by Him, let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. Hebrews 13:15 NKJV
