Dear lovely readers,

If you appreciate the "from the heart of chandler jo" blog and want to keep up with it,
I will NOW be posting from a new location on our family's site, twosantiagos.com.

Hope you'll make the JUMP and resubscribe here.

Much love to you all and thanks for reading!

Just over 30 more hours!

Be a part of his first album, help him reach his goal for the production of it. This will be the first of many amazing albums, but now is the time to sow into the FIRST!

What's John Scott's music like? He describes it as an authentic blend of southern folk and alt-country infused with full-bodied acoustics and lyrical storytelling.

Click here to fund the album, there's some amazing bonuses to sowing a gift [a give-away for the givers]! Also some previews of his songs on the page.

Click here for his website and to learn more about him.

There's only a window of just over 30 more hours left to take this opportunity to get him to the goal and make this album happen.

Give $5, $50, $500...however God stirs your heart to bless this project. But PLEASE ASK Him, see what He says!!

Only A Shadow (full live concert) Misty Edwards

closer

between a rock and a hard place

You find me here, 
in this space
between a rock 
and hard place
either You speak 
or I am aimless
cuz You're my only 
guide through this

surrender and steward, 
yet lay it all down
hold nothing and delegate, 
however hard it may sound
"listen when I whisper," 
You say, "weep when I weep"
so i receive what You give me, 
cuz my heart You keep

take action, stay still
handing over my will
Your blessing pours upon my head
as my rights all lay dead

it's a rock and hard place
feels i'm stuck flat on my face
still You seem closer than before
and Your love keep burning at my core

so remind me i'm Yours here
even if shadows around leer
i know if You keep holding me tight
in this rock and hard place i'll be alright

it's just a shadow

some days circumstance is talking
seems to drown out Your voice
looks like ALONE is the road we're walking
whispers: abandonment and loss



it's just a shadow
there is nothing to fear
it's just a shadow
You say, child I'm right here



can't stand the waiting
we want the roadmap, control
must understand Your planning
somehow surrender unnerves our souls



it's just a shadow
there is nothing to fear
it's just a shadow
You say, child I'm right here



You're never leaving
You remind us constantly
when we forget so easily
You are good



You have no shadow of turning
the Father of Light
Abba of our souls
to Your heart we're returning



You're not like the rest
You look deep into our chests
calling forth our best
You are good



You have no shadow of turning
the Father of Light
Abba of our souls
to Your heart we're returning


The darkness is yelling
sometimes the fear is compelling
Our hearts You're constantly telling
You are good


You're our goodness
You're our Light
You're our strong leader
You're always right

why pray?

Egg BLT's for Resurrection Day

Today at our house we're eating Egg BLT's in honor of the fact that Jesus lives forevermore.
Plus, it was my dad's favorite thing to eat on Sunday's after church, and he also is alive forever with Jesus.  We are enjoying today as a promise of the day when Jesus splits the sky and the dead in Christ rise first.
