Just Say Amen

Stand and know you're not forsaken. Just say Amen.

Just Say Amen
Ally Mishell Smith

When I was in high school, I was a part of my church's student choir. We would spend all year preparing for our summer music/mission tour. The choir has traveled all over the country serving and proclaiming the Word of God through music and mission projects. It's very tiring, very humbling and just all around life-changing. I love to think back to all the memories from the tour, and one memory in particular sticks out.

Our student ensemble sang a song called "Say Amen" by Finding Favour. I can remember sitting in the choir loft, hearing them sing it for the first time with tears in my eyes. The song has such a powerful message that so many people need to hear. It seems like the song can relate to any person and any situation.

When I was driving to work a few days ago, the song randomly came up and started play and brought me to tears. God knew I needed to hear the song.

This life is a journey we walk by faith, and there will always be the mountains in our way. But right here in this moment, may our strength be renewed. As we recall what God has done and how we've seen Him move.
If there's anybody here who's found Him faithful, Anybody here who knows He's able,Say Amen! If there's anybody here who's seen His power, Anybody here brought through the fire, Say Amen! Anybody here found joy in the middle of sorrowJust Say AMEN!
Sometimes through the darkness, it's hard to see, so just be brave and follow where He leads. Greater is the one who's in us, than he who's in the world, so, child of God, remember, the battle is the Lord's!
If there's anybody here who's found Him faithful, Anybody here who knows He's able, say Amen! If there's anybody here who's seen His power, Anybody here brought through the fire, say Amen! Anybody here found joy in the middle of sorrow, peace in the storm, hope for tomorrow, and seen it time and time again, then just Say AMEN!
Even in the valley of the shadow when you feel alone in the unknown, Just say Amen, Just say Amen. Even when the storms are raging, Stand and know your not forsaken, Just say Amen, Just say Amen. Is there anybody here, Tell me is there anybody here, come on and Say Amen!

I pray that you know He is greater than any battle struggle that you're going through. Know that you're not alone. Just say Amen.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
