Monday Motivation today features Darren Mulligan and We Are Messengers with their new song, ‘A Thousand Times.’ What a wonderful reminder of God’s persistence with us as we walk through the hills and valleys of life. His forgiveness and mercy knows no end!

This week we’ll hear a lot about being ‘Made for These Days!’
Lord, please renew our confidence that we are in the right place at the right time, and you have called us by name! We were born to shine bright in the darkness…and we don’t have to be discouraged or afraid. This world needs the hope inside of us, so let us echo Paul’s letter in Galatians, to not become weary in doing good, for in the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Our family continues to join many others in mourning loss this week. Our friend Jessica, from Florida, died unexpectedly the last week of February. She leaves behind a husband and four kids. We’ve had some pretty transparent texts and calls with our daughter, who considered Jess to be like a big sister to her.
I keep thinking of this song…because maybe it’s okay, if I’m not okay…
Praising God in the good times and the bad times…we know what it’s like to broken and are thankful for His restoring power.

When we need rest and a reminder of who we truly are, the Father’s arms are always open wide for us to run back to you.
It’s time for a little Monday Motivation on The Afternoon Drive, and we think that Seph Schlueter’s “Running Back To You” is the perfect example of a reminder of finding our hope and rest in the Lord! When we feel lost, confused, anxious, tired…whatever it is, God will ALWAYS be there for us, no matter what.
“When I’m drowning in questions, when I’ve lost the path Your love is the answer as You’re calling me back
Back to the table, back to my home Back to my Father who never lets go Whatever I’m facing, I know what to do With my arms wide open, I’m running to back to You”
Let these words be a reminder of where to go when you don’t know where to turn.

I sure hope so!!! Enough with the polar vortexes 🙂 I like winter, but this one has me craving the 40’s (temperature). Today it’s starting to feel like spring. Let’s celebrate with Andrew Ripp’s great song, “Love’s Got a Way…”
‘Cause love’s got a way Of bringing healing to a heart in pain Making beauty from the ashes Breaking chains one after another Putting old lies to shame Love’s got a way

Today’s Monday Motivation comes from Brandon Lake and his latest song, ‘Hard Fought Hallelujah.’ This is what I call a visceral song. It comes from the gut. It describes the battle that many of us face when we know we need to keep focused and keep praising God in the middle of trials or struggles. Watch this lyric video to see how these lyrics line up with I Peter 1:7:
“These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”

As perfect people. Today, I was teaching about servant leadership and we started talking about the leadership habits of Jesus from the book, “Lead Like Jesus…” They are:
solitude
prayer
study and application of scripture
accepting and responding to God’s unconditional love
involvement in supportive relationships
…as we talked and discussed the decision to accept and embrace God’s love, I was reminded of this song by Natalie Grant…
