Since getting married and moving 1500 miles from my "home", I've been in a time of transition. I learned many years ago that I can't depend my security on a place (home), because God tends to move me around. But, now I'm learning that it can't be in places OR people. My security needs to be in the Lord. HE needs to be my home. I can't claim my family as home any more - I'm not with them now. I can't even claim Isaac as my home - we're only promised "til death do us part". Sure, that's great for now, but I might not always have that. At the very bottom line, my home needs to be that my heart is at peace before the throne of God. That's what I'm learning... it's going to take a while.
"You Will Never Walk Alone" Lyrics
Words and music by Lowell Alexander
Performed by Point of Grace on their album: Free to Fly
Listen to this song here
Along life's road
There will be sunshine and rain
Roses and thorns, laughter and pain
And 'cross the miles
You will face mountains so steep
Deserts so long and valleys so deep
Sometimes the journey's gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But I want you to remember
I want you to know
You will never walk alone
As long as you have faith
Jesus will be right beside you all the way
And you may feel you're far from home
But home is where he is
And he'll be there down every road
You will never walk alone
The path will wind
And you will find wonders and fears
Labors of love and a few falling tears
Across the years
There will be some twists and turns
Mistakes to make and lessons to learn
Sometimes the journey's gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But i want you to remember wherever you may go
You will never walk alone
As long as you have faith
Jesus will be right beside you all the way
And you may feel you're far from home
But home is where he is
And he'll be there down every road
You will never walk alone
Jesus knows your joy, Jesus knows your need
He will go the distance with you faithfully
You will never walk alone
As long as you have faith
Jesus will be right beside you all the way
And you may feel you're far from home
But home is where he is
And he'll be there down every road
You will never walk alone

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
Make me a reflection of You, Lord...
Like the sunshine warms the earth,
let me warm the hearts of those around me.
And as the sun's rays tell of the beauty
and awesomeness of the earthly sun,
let my life shine for the divine Son!
About Me
- Rachelle
- My name is Susannah Rachelle. Jesus is the foundation of my world, my Rock and my Savior. I know that love is something you build. I need to sing. I’d rather be with my friends than alone. If I have a stack of good books, I can read all day. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I try to speak only encouraging words. I can give great advice, but it’s harder to follow it myself. I’m strong for people I love, but it takes a lot to maintain me. I have friends I look up to and friends who look up to me. Each day I strive to draw closer to God and allow Him to change me into the woman He wants me to be. My husband is the love of my life. My parents, two brothers, and two sisters are my special blessings. God has also blessed me with very wonderful friends, each of whom I’m bonded to in His love. I forget things. I’ve lied. I’ve hurt others and I’ve been ashamed of myself. I don’t know everything. I struggle with self-centeredness. I try to follow God, but sometimes I fall. I am going to heaven because I am redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. I want to live in such a way that when my time comes to die, I will not regret how I have lived.

LOL! I didn't know you were connecting this blog to that song and I was riding down the road a few minutes ago listening to that song and I got to that line and I was like !! Hey!! That's just like Rachelle's blog! And then I went back and lo and behold it is your blog. *giggles* :D Anyway.
Hello Rachelle.
Thanks for the help on the peanut butter issue. Actually, I got married the day after you wrote that comment, and I just got back from the honeymoon.
I'm currently prepping to run for office in the upcoming federal election in Canada (looks like Canada and America may be having political upheaval at the same time).
Hey Rachelle.
I've added a comment in response to yours on my blog, so you can know which office I'm running for.
God bless you and yours!
This is so true! I learned to let go of a physical place as my "home" long ago (I've lived in 6 different places since going away to college) but I still tend to have the mentality of "Oh...well wherever Jason is...THAT'S my home." But as much as I'm crazy in love with my husband it's like you said, I'm not promised forever with him. God is and will always be the only constant in my life.
