How it Your Way by Britt Nicole

A powerful song by Britt Nicole


Feels like I`ve been here forever,
Why can`t you just intervene?
Do you see the tears keep falling?
And I`m falling apart at the seams.
But you never said the road would be easy,
But you said that you would never leave.
And you never promised that this life wasn`t hard,
But you promised you`d take care of me.

So I`ll stop searching for the answers,
I`ll stop praying for an escape,
And I`ll trust you,God, with where i am,
And believe that you will have your way.
Just have your way.
Just have your way.

When my friends and my family have left me,
And I feel so ashamed and so cold.
Remind me that you take broken things
And turn them into beautiful.

So I`ll stop searching for the answers,
I`ll stop praying for an escape,
And I`ll trust you, God, with where i am,
And believe that you`ll have your way.
Just have your way.
Just have your way.

Even if my dreams have died,
And even if I don`t survive,
I`ll still worship you with all my life.
My life.
Whoa-oh..

And I`ll stop searching for the answers,
I`ll stop praying for an escape,
And i`ll trust you, God, with where i am,
And believe that you will have your way.
Just have your way.
Just have your way.

I know you will.
I won`t forget.
Whoa-oh
You love me.
Have your way.

Prayer: an act of humility

There's something we need to be able to pray effectively: humility.

Think about it. When we are praying, we have to admit that Someone is greater than we are. We have to admit that we can not control everything, and we have to go to Someone for help.

This is one reason why praying on a daily biases is so important; to helps us remain humble.

Killer Questions

If you don't know who Bill Jack is, you should get acquainted. I had the honor of meeting him at TeenPact. I bought some of his DVDs, of one which discussed the power of asking good questions.

First, it takes little knowledge to ask good questions. Yon don't need to know everything, (which is good news for me!)

These questions will get you to the heart or foundation believe of whoever you are talking to. I've used these questions before, and it's amazing how many people don't think through their world view.

Here are the four killer questions:
  1. What do you mean by______________?
  2. How do you know?
  3. What if you are wrong?
  4. What differences does what you're saying make? (or, so what?)
If you know how to use these questions, you can get to the heart of any believe conversation you have.
