to infinity and beyond..


The following hymn came to Fanny Crosby as a result of a prayer. 


Struggling financially, she desperately needed some money. As her usual custom, Fanny began to pray. A few minutes later, a gentleman offered her five dollars, the exact amount she needed. 


Later recalling the incident, she said, "I have no way of accounting for this except to believe that God put it into the heart of this good man to bring the money." 


The poem she wrote afterward became "All The Way My Savior Leads Me - Aldrin Lapitan


All the Way My Savior Leads Me

All the way my Savior leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.


All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living Bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way.


Abba Father, 
     I don't really know how to tell you how much I am in awe of You, and what you continue to do in and around those around me. You are worth to be praised and worshiped. Thank you Lord for every good and perfect gift you have given and will give. I pray that this new year that's sprawled out before me all fresh and without grief or even joy be filled with You.  Protect my heart so that I can be a venue for your glory everyday and every hour, and Father I ask that every step I take be lead by you. If your not leading... I am not moving.. and that might be hard so remind me, Father, that it will be all worth it. I''m trusting you. amen.
