I knew a young girl who played a musical instrument. She was pretty good. Ok, so she didn’t practice a whole heap. Who does when they are young? Going out with friends seems far more enticing. Continue reading Day 12 – Give Praise Where it’s Due

The lyrics to John Lenon’s song “How?” Will probably resonate to millions of people around the world. Although it was released in 1971, it is very much relevant today.
How can I go forward when I don’t know which way I’m facing
How can I go forward when I don’t know which way to turn
How can I go forward into something I’m not sure of
Oh no, oh no
How can I have feeling when I don’t know if it’s a feeling
How can I feel something if I just don’t know how to feel
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied
Oh no, oh no
You know life can be long
And you got to be so strong
And the world is so tough
Sometimes I feel I’ve had enough
How can I give love when I don’t know what it is I’m giving
How can I give love when I just don’t know how to give
How can I give love when love is something I ain’t never had
Oh no, oh no
You know life can be long
You’ve got to be so strong
And the world she is tough
Sometimes I feel I’ve had enough
How can we go forward when we don’t know which way we’re facing
How can we go forward when we don’t know which way to turn
How can we go forward into something we’re not sure of
Oh no, oh no

God knows which way you are facing.
God knows which way you can turn.
God knows how you can go forward.
God can give you love.
God knows what you are feeling and He is there when you have had enough.
When you feel like you are in a ‘how’ situation, turn to God for the answer.
