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.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
