I just heard this song by Chris Rice today and it’s one of my new favorite songs   Chris is one of my all time favorite Christian artist with his clean, creative, and inspirational lyrics to the Lord it’s pretty hard not to fall in love with his music.  I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a fund raiser for the homeless of Portland last year where he was preforming on the the roof of a hotel!

What A Heart Is Beating For (Lyrics)

By Chris Rice

Leave it alone, don’t analyze
‘Cause love can be your lullaby
But love can be your hurricane too
And love can take your breath away
But love can leave you lonely and blue
Oh, what’s a heart to do?
Oh, what’s a heart to do?

Why be afraid
No reason to hide
Take the chance
Put it all on the line
Draw in a deep breath and throw open the door
‘Cause that’s what a heart is beating for
Yeah, that’s what a heart is beating for
Beating for, beating for

Brace yourselves, take a good look around
We’ve all been thinking upside-down
That love’s about what life can bring our way
Oh but love isn’t love unless someone pays
And so with love, the only way to gain
Is give it all away
Is give it all away!

Why be afraid
No reason to hide
Take the chance
Put it all on the line
Draw in a deep breath and throw open the door
‘Cause that’s what a heart is beating for
Yeah, that’s what a heart is beating for
Beating for, beating for

Here’s to wishing everyone a green fun filled day of good cheer and luck!

My husband and I have have an appointment with the apartment people later about our new apartment.
I’ll talk about that later.

..and by the way, our church rummage sell exceeded our goal of 6k and made 10k! Praise the Lord! Read more about it here!

100% of the proceeds from the Rummage Sale go to addressing the issues of HUNGER AND POVERTY in our community. This includes glasses for kids who can’t afford them, food for the food bank, clothing and school supplies and much, much more!

Could my husband and I pass this opportunity up? … Absolutely not! Our church hosted this event today and my goodness the place was completely packed with everything that people donated. It was like an early spring cleaning for us to get rid of things that we didn’t really need, like the extra cd player, and those do-dads that did nothing but collect dust. It’s great to get rid of things and be able to bless someone else all at the same time. Plus, less things that we’ll have to move into our apartment!
