I had an interesting chat with Safiyah Givens, who is also an author and based in New Jersey. Hop over to her blog and enjoy reading more about my new book, She Rescues & Other Stories, which released a few weeks ago (available on amazon kindle).
i know, it's been a terribly long time since i poked my "face" here. a lot has happened. from finally completing my master's, while healing from a motor accident to publishing new books...life has been quite a roller coaster, not to mention this 'rona pandemic. anyway, i would love to encourage you with a song that's one of my new favs.
fighting for me by riley clemmons
I need the kinda love that
Can outlast the night
I need the kinda love that
Is willing to fight
When the going gets tough
And my strength's not enough
I see You showing up like never before
This battle for my heart
You took on from the start
You are the peace when my mind's at war
And o-ohh
You will never stop fighting for me
When I can't fight for myself
Every word is a promise You keep
Cause You love me like nobody else
You stand up for me
In the darkest night
When my faith is weak
You're still by my side
You will never stop fighting for me
You will never stop fighting for me
In the perfect timing
You make all things right
You paint a silver lining
In this heart of mine
When the going gets tough
And my strength's not enough
I see You showing up like never before
This battle for my heart
You took on from the start
You are the peace when my mind's at war
And o-ohh
You will never stop fighting for me
When I can't fight for myself
Every word is a promise You keep
Cause You love me like nobody else
You stand up for me
In the darkest night
When my faith is weak
You're still by my side
You will never stop fighting for me
You will never stop fighting for me
Your love
Is winning me over
Your heart
Is pulling me closer
Your love
Is winning me over
Your heart
Is pulling me closer
You will never stop...
Fighting for me, fighting for me
Every word is a promise You keep, oh, o-ohh
You will never stop fighting for me
When I can't fight for myself (when I can't)
Every word is a promise You keep (oh, oh)
Cause You love me like nobody else (nobody)
You stand up for me (You stand up for me)
In the darkest night (In the darkest night)
When my faith is weak (yeah, yeah)
You're still by my side (my side)
You will never stop fighting for me (You will never stop)
You will never stop fighting for me
i hope you remember that Jesus, our Redeemer, is fighting for us.
pray, talk to Him, trust Him in the waiting.
it's like in the Lord of the Rings trilogy...evil is eventually destroyed and good wins.
