Surrender.

Surrender. Surrender. Surrender...
Is the only word that continues surfacing in my mind.
Don't you know that you need Him like the rain, that He, YOUR CREATOR, is beautiful in ALL that He does. That His plans, the only plans that last, are FOR YOU and Not EVER against you.
If you are being pressed right now from every side from every angle..oh the diamond that is being created in your soul and spirit.
"Know that the Lord, HE is God! It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people,and the sheep of His pasture." Psalm 100: 3 ESV
Psalm 100 MSG
1-2 On your feet now—applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter, 
      sing yourselves into his presence. 

 3 Know this: God is God, and God, God
      He made us; we didn't make him. 
      We're his people, his well-tended sheep. 

 4 Enter with the password: "Thank you!" 
      Make yourselves at home, talking praise. 
      Thank him. Worship him. 

 5 For God is sheer beauty, 
      all-generous in love, 
      loyal always and ever.


What more is there to say..God is sheer beauty, all-generous in love, loyal for always and forever!! How beautiful is that! Shout glory!
Hallelujah.
Oh how He loves each and every one of you and desires for you to be completely set free of word curses, generational curses, soul ties, and more!
He is forever faithful! TRUST HIM! He parted the waters and desires to part the waters in your own life both spiritually and physically!
Pay attention to the desires of your heart! If you are walking with Him He has placed them within you for a DIVINE purpose and plan! 
Speak life into the atmosphere! Every word that comes out of your mouth has a mission and an assignment.


James 3

1-2Don't be in any rush to become a teacher, my friends. Teaching is highly responsible work. Teachers are held to the strictest standards. And none of us is perfectly qualified. We get it wrong nearly every time we open our mouths. If you could find someone whose speech was perfectly true, you'd have a perfect person, in perfect control of life. 3-5A bit in the mouth of a horse controls the whole horse. A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of the strongest winds. A word out of your mouth may seem of no account, but it can accomplish nearly anything—or destroy it!
 5-6It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it, smoke right from the pit of hell.
 7-10This is scary: You can tame a tiger, but you can't tame a tongue—it's never been done. The tongue runs wild, a wanton killer. With our tongues we bless God our Father; with the same tongues we curse the very men and women he made in his image. Curses and blessings out of the same mouth!
 10-12My friends, this can't go on. A spring doesn't gush fresh water one day and brackish the next, does it? Apple trees don't bear strawberries, do they? Raspberry bushes don't bear apples, do they? You're not going to dip into a polluted mud hole and get a cup of clear, cool water, are you?
Live Well, Live Wisely
 13-16Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom? Here's what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It's the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts. Mean-spirited ambition isn't wisdom. Boasting that you are wise isn't wisdom. Twisting the truth to make yourselves sound wise isn't wisdom. It's the furthest thing from wisdom—it's animal cunning, devilish conniving. Whenever you're trying to look better than others or get the better of others, things fall apart and everyone ends up at the others' throats. 17-18Real wisdom, God's wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor.

You're Good and Your Love is Great..

To be honest, I have no idea what to say or how to explain what it feels like to believe in something that is not only  bigger than yourself, but that is 100% out of your control. To believe in something so incredibly strong that you know that you will still believe it when you are 90..to know that even if the other side is never obedient and never submissive you will still know that what God placed in your heart was truth because He cannot lie.. it goes completely against His character..to believe in something so passionately that the majority of those who catch wind of it would rather throw stones at you for believing in something glorious than to give even a glance to the Heavenlies.

So no, words will never suffice in explanation. I can only keep walking or maybe most days just standing back up. This is my journey though, the assignment I have been allotted and even if it kills me I will believe only what my Father tells me..for His words are the only words that last.. and I will ponder them deep in my heart learning to become more private as I travel on. So I ask you to continue to pray for me as I travel through the wilderness and press on toward the earthly goal I have been created for.

I love you Jesus please use me as a light for this dark world. Grant me courage to finish this leg of my race. I love you more than life! You are my destiny and my Lord forevermore. Help me Jesus to shoulder my cross in silent abandon. I love you I love you I love you. People..He loves you, He loves you, He loves you. Listen to Him.

Luke 14:5-34

One day when large groups of people were walking along with him, Jesus turned and told them, "Anyone who comes to me but refuses to let go of father, mother, spouse, children, brothers, sisters—yes, even one's own self!—can't be my disciple. Anyone who won't shoulder his own cross and follow behind me can't be my disciple.
 28-30"Is there anyone here who, planning to build a new house, doesn't first sit down and figure the cost so you'll know if you can complete it? If you only get the foundation laid and then run out of money, you're going to look pretty foolish. Everyone passing by will poke fun at you: 'He started something he couldn't finish.'
 31-32"Or can you imagine a king going into battle against another king without first deciding whether it is possible with his ten thousand troops to face the twenty thousand troops of the other? And if he decides he can't, won't he send an emissary and work out a truce?
 33"Simply put, if you're not willing to take what is dearest to you, whether plans or people, and kiss it good-bye, you can't be my disciple.
 34"Salt is excellent. But if the salt goes flat, it's useless, good for nothing.
   "Are you listening to this? Really listening?"

Ah the sweet sound of a humble heart.

I watched this about a year ago..and balled my eyes out. I watched it again tonight and wept as well. When your heart lines up with someone else's in the Kingdom of the Most High God there is a humility that is found there. I have such a heart for the unborn and am so thankful for the opportunity that the Lord has given me to teach a nutrition class to the girls at Highland. They are all young girls most of them in their teens that had unexpected pregnancies and are now living in this amazing spirit filled environment while they make the decision of whether or not to raise the child on their own or too give him or her up for adoption. I really connected with these girls when we visited the children's home back in February and now God has swung wide the doors for me to have an opportunity to love on them a little bit more! Praise Him! God is so faithful, I just can't get over His goodness..enjoy:)

Good Intentions Never Set A Man Free..

This is powerful.
Pause my playlist and allow the Spirit of the Most High God to speak to you.

powerful redemption..

My heart is so full right now so tender. I just got finished reading the book "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers..I completed it in less than 24 hours. It is a fiction novel based off of the book of Hosea and God's crazy love for His people.

I think the most astounding thing in American Christianity today is how much people absolutely do not get it. They write redemption off and bind themselves to chains of legalism and raise their hands to cast the first stone. We have all been guilty of it..but I don't want or desire to be bound to anything but the cross of Christ. Love is what covers a multitude of sins. Love and nothing else.

I walked into a church service one night and slid against the wall in the back of the room, as I sat there I began to feel so incredibly claustrophobic and I wasn't a hundred percent sure why so I began to pray and ask that the Lord would help me to identify the emotions that were welling up inside of me. He began to speak that legalism chokes the life out of things..and that is how I felt..squeezed. I had finished reading through the book of John just a week or so before that and I recalled how the Pharisees were always running around trying to kill Jesus..trying to kill the truth and the life SQUEEZING the life out of the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.

We must get back to the basics and just start loving on people. That is my only prayer, that I will have the heart of my Father that I will be able to love in a way that is so incredibly supernatural I know it did not seep out of my flesh it couldn't have..there was too much of it. That is the kind of love that people can't resist. I could go on and on and share so many analogies that the Lord has given me that cover the pages in my journal but I will wait..for now we have to get back to the beauty of Redemption.

Redeem: "to obtain the release or restoration of, as from captivity, by paying a ransom."

Do we believe that Christ truly has the power to purify us as though it never was? Do we believe it for others?

"Love the Lord your God, and love one another. Love one another as He loves. Love with strength and purpose and passion and no matter what comes against  you. Don't weaken. Stand against the darkness and love. That's the way back into Eden. That's the way back into life." ~Redeeming Love

Ephesians 6:10-18 MSG "God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.
 13-18Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out." 

Our battle is not against flesh and blood. We've got to stop waging war with each other and wage war with the one who comes to steal kill and destroy(John 10:10)..and cling to the one who promises to grant us  life of abundance.
John 10:9-11 Amplified
  9I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture.
    10The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
    11I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd risks and lays down His [own] life for the sheep.

I desire ABUNDANCE what about you???

God's Word..and Strawberries:)

"God's Word is better than a diamond, better than a diamond set between emeralds. You'll like it better than strawberries in spring, better than red, ripe strawberries." Psalm 19:10msg

I had opened up to Psalm 18 to look for a certain verse that Bobbye and I had discussed earlier this evening, and as my Bible lay open on my bed while I was cleaning the fan caught the pages and flipped it to Psalm 19 and I happen to look down and that verse caught my eye..I've never read anything like that before..it seemed so alive to me..so then I had to keep reading:)

v)11-14
"There's more: God's Word warns us of danger and directs us to hidden treasure. Otherwise how will we find our way? or know when we play the fool? Clean the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh! Keep me from stupid sins, from thinking I can take YOUR WORK; Then I can start this day sun-washed, scrubbed clean of the grime of sin. These are the words in my mouth; these are what I chew on and pray. Accept them when I place them on the morning altar, O God, my Altar-Rock, God, Priest-of-My-Altar."

So then I had to call Bobbye and share the little treasure I just found. As I read to her what I posted above I flipped backwards and glanced at the beginning of the chapter and it looked just as stellar as the rest so I had to read it..

v)1-9
"God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening. Their words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded, But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.

God makes a huge dome for the sun- a superdome! The morning sun's a new husband leaping from his honeymoon bed, The daybreaking sun an athlete racing to the tape.

That's how God's Word vaults across the skies from sunrise to sunset, Melting ice, scorching deserts warming hearts to faith.

The revelation of God is whole
and pulls our lives together.
The signposts of God are clear and point out the right road.
The life-maps of God are right,
showing the way to joy.
The directions of God are plain and easy on the eyes.
God's reputation is twenty-four-carat gold,
with a lifetime guarantee."

I can't help but read most of this scripture and giggle..grinning from ear to ear because seriously how COOL is the God we serve!! Stop acting like He is boring like religion is..He's not religion..He's supreme and full of one on one relationships..and He can be anywhere He wants at ALL times..talk about a multi-tasker!
I love Him! I'm so thankful I got to celebrate this scripture with a sweet friend tonight! Iron will always sharpen iron and I'm so grateful that I have some good iron in my life!

Hold onto truth dear children! He is coming for us and that excites me! Please pray for my college ministry this weekend we are going to an orphanage in Hot Springs to minister and love on some sweet kiddos that deserve to feel like they are seated in high places (which they are)! I'm gonna want to bring several home with me I'm sure..but it's not time for that yet..

God is good people! Rejoice and be glad in Him! He loves you..and He hasn't forgotton you..chase after His glory! He leads us to treasure remember!

Please feel free to pause my playlist and listen to this song! It is awesome and completely describes how I am feeling after reading such a STUNNING Scripture!! :) Getcha worship on!!

Sister Love.

My sister and I on the drive home from Tyler on Saturday! It was the start of a night that was very life changing for Michaela. The Lord started calling her away from some things so that He can release her into some better things. I'm proud of her. Being 14 isn't always a walk in the park in the generation we live in.. and to watch her make decisions that will help her further the Kingdom later on is so awesome! Keep her in your prayers!

I HAVE TO BELIEVE!!!!!

As I sit and write this there is  still a battle that is being waged against me today.. but I am victorious in Christ Jesus. He is the Author, Perfecter, and Sustainer of my faith. "Around every corner and up every mountain, I'm not looking for crowns anymore or the water from fountains I'm desperate and seeking frantic believing that the sight of your face is all I'm needing..I will lift my voice to you and say, You're gonna be worth it You're gonna be worth it all, I believe this..You're gonna be worth it You're gonna be worth it all..I know."~Rita Springer

Those of you whom God  has given a dream or vision for your life.. given you an assignment that at times is so hard to comprehend..today I want to encourage you.. I want to encourage you to LIFT UP YOUR HEAD! I know that it is hard and the enemy will use absolutely anything that He can to discourage you and break your spirit down. I am experiencing it write now even as we speak but we are MORE than CONQUERERS in Christ JESUS!

I don't understand why the wait sometimes seems so long but I just flipped open to Psalms 31:24 which states "Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord." I feel compelled to tell you that He loves you and believes in you and He would not call you to this just to let you be put to shame! He is a miracle worker! He is not a tease and He cannot lie Titus 1:2. He has chosen YOU to walk this out just as He has chosen me to walk this assignment out and just has He chose Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt our spiritual assignment is NO different..it just happens to be in 2011 where He might use youtube to speak to you instead of a burning bush..who would have thought right???  Trust me I know how difficult it can be but at the same time I don't think I want the easy assignments..
Earlier I was crying out to Him while I was in the kitchen..weeping and worshiping ( I had my ipod in)..and I started to recognize yet again..that I don't have to trust that the people on the other side are going to "figure it out" or "do their part"..I just have to trust and BELIEVE that God, MY GOD..is big enough to reveal it to them and because of HIS Mighty Power..not their's..that He will lead them to what they are also called to be apart of..there is peace in recognizing that. Recognizing that it is God and not Man that I have to put my trust in and fix my eyes upon. These are concepts that many of us say we understand and operate underneath..that is until, like today,when I personally was attacked and had to choose to believe..even when I didn't feel it.
I felt..hurt..alone.. frustrated..
I choose to BELIEVE that I am not alone..and that instead I'm surrounded..I choose to give my hurt to Him for He gladly and graciously will take it and exchange it for peace..and in my frustration because I have done steps one and two I have understanding..Praise Him.
I was led to Psalm 3 in the Message


 1-2 God! Look! Enemies past counting! Enemies sprouting like mushrooms, 
   Mobs of them all around me, roaring their mockery
   "Hah! No help for him from God!" 

 3-4 But you, God, shield me on all sides; 
   You ground my feet, you lift my head high; 
   With all my might I shout up to God, 
   His answers thunder from the holy mountain. 

 5-6 I stretch myself out. I sleep. 
   Then I'm up again—rested, tall and steady, 
   Fearless before the enemy mobs 
   Coming at me from all sides

 7 Up, God! My God, help me! 
   Slap their faces, 
   First this cheek, then the other, 
   Your fist hard in their teeth! 

 8 Real help comes from God
Your blessing clothes your people.

He loves you and you are not alone..Please know that. He would not call you to something just to then leave you there to fend for yourself..even when it seems overwhelming..just stand back up.

1 Peter 5:6-7 the Message
"So be content with who you are and don't put on airs. God's strong hand is on you; He'll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God; He is most careful with you."

I don't know about you but as much as I would love to be launched into my destiny in this moment..I definitely do not desire it premature. My heart and soul genuinely long for His perfect and beautiful timing even if that means walking through the refining fire for a little longer. Live carefree before God; He is most careful with you..that is powerful and speaks volumes to me..I pray it communicates peace to your Spirit. You are loved and you are not alone! Reflect on every promise that has been fulfilled in your life up to this point. It is encouraging to look back and see all the masterpieces He has completed in my life thus far and gives me hope to press on. 

We have what it takes..and we have to believe..what other choice do we have??

The song "I have to Believe" by Rita Springer is VERY encouraging! I had it on repeat earlier! Make that purchase on Itunes it will speak to your heart when you choose focus on the truths of the Father I promise! 

"I drink from the Holy cup of God, I'm surrounded"~Moving with the Lamb by Rita Springer

"SUN STAND STILL!!"~Joshua

When it comes to spiritual matters, I'm a fighter. I want to slay demons in half and send them back to the pitt that they belong in. Joshua was also a fighter and he got to fight many spiritual battles in the physical rhealm. We all do as well it just may not look like an actual battlefield as Joshua's did.

In Joshua Ch.10 it says.. "On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel: ' O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.' So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar.The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day."

PAUSE: Reread that..

YES the SUN and the MOON stood still until Joshua defeated His enemies.

WOW.

We should probably note that he did this in the presence of Israel!! Which translation..means while they were LISTENING..which communicates that He was walking in CONFIDENCE!! Not his confidence but in the confidence of the one who could make the sun and the moon stand still!! Woo! That is awesome!

Donna Carroll, who is an amazingly anointed strong woman of the Most High, shared this with me..
"Joshua and his men had marched all day and night without sleep, yet he didn't stop to rest. Instead, he prayed for God to stop the sun to prolong the day because he KNEW (God told him) they were going to win! Joshua couldn't have come up with that thought on his own. God placed it there and that's why He honored Joshua's so-called 'command' for God to cause a natural phenomenon!!!"

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He WILL give you the desires of your heart" Psalm 37: 4
  You know why because THEY'RE NOT your desires anyway..if you are lined up with the heart and will of God He is placing these dreams and visions in your heart and life! AH THE BEAUTY!!! That takes so much pressure off of us to perform and make things happen! #GLORY

(back to Joshua)..Then it goes on to say in v)14
" There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to man. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel!"

Did you catch that..the LORD was fighting for Israel.

When I was in Colorado a few weeks ago I had the privilege of going to New Life Church in CO Springs, during worship their worship pastor said that the night before the Lord really pressed it upon His heart to share with us how to often we try and battle out things ourselves when there God is warring for us..and all He desires for us to do is rest.

Rest Lord when there is a battle going on? What does that even mean? and more than that what does it look like? This is a new concept that the Lord is trying to teach me and yes there are times when He beckons us to battle..but there are also times when we need to lay down our weapons and "hide ourselves in the shadow of His wings." Psalms 57:1 (paraphrased)
In Psalm 63:7 It says.."Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings." HOW COOL!! When we let Him take over..and we run and hide ourselves in the shadow of His wings, in this context for safety purposes, we then have the freedom to rest and sing. Yes. Beautiful. "Come rest in me and be made whole.."-Beloved by Kari Jobe

This afternoon I was driving to the bux to grab myself a nice little white chocolate mocha..my favorite:).. it was so beautiful outside and I was quickly reminded how big the world is..and in my carnal mind I began to get overwhelmed while thinking of this vision the Lord has given me.. I felt so small..How in the world would they ever find me in a world so big..and with so many girls named Brittni? Sounds silly..but a very real feeling..all God is calling me to do right now is rest..but that means fully depending on Him to reveal everything to the other side..the way He revealed it to me..then for Him to lead them to me..which, once again in my carnal mind, seems like saying hey go find that "one" piece of sand on that one seashore..over there..AH!..but then I was quickly reminded that I'm not to put my trust and dependency on man to find me..but to set my eyes upon the one who created all of us out of sand..yeah He's big enough to do what HE HIMSELF placed in my heart. I didn't come up with these things on my own..PRAISE GOD! If He can cause the sun and the moon to stand still so that He could deliver Joshua into the land that He had PROMISED to Him..He can lead me/them to each other to do the work that only together we can do for HIS kingdom..because that is what He has promised me He would do..He's so much bigger than my fear..and it is by no accident that he reminded Joshua over and over "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshu 1:9
and not to mention it was a command not an option..

Thank you Father for loving me enough to remind me of your mighty power and strength! You are victorious! Help me not to think carnally but to think in the Spirit and move in the Spirit always. I pray for those reading this that they will tangibly be able to feel your presence in their lives. Let us always be led by you Lord, so that we know when to pick up our weapons and when to lay them down and find rest in you..I love you so much Father, thank you for choosing me! I believe, even when I don't feel it, I choose to DECLARE it!
I love you daddy,

He is the SAME..then..now..tomorrow.

Joshua 4: 23-24

"For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The Lord your God did to the Jordan just what He had done to the Red Sea when He dried it up before us until we had crossed over. He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the Lord IS POWERFUL and so that you might always fear the Lord your God."

People..it doesn't say that His hand was powerful..it say that it IS powerful! The thing that always rocks me about these two accounts apart from the obvious..that He PARTED the sea..but the fact that they walked accross on dry land. It could have been mushy and it still would have been just as cool and breathtaking. What that communicates to me is that the Lord doesn't do anything halfway..or operate inside of accidentals..which He has gone to extremes to show me..but I will that save for another post:)

Hebrews 13:7-8
"Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.  Jesus Christ IS the SAME yesterday and today and forever."

Isolation

Last fall, October 13 to be exact, GOD SPOKE..really He whispered but what He whispered I will forever treasure in my heart, soul, and mind.
I was sitting outside on the back porch talking on the phone to one of my friends from Baton Rouge.. we were discussing how God had stripped us from EVERYTHING and,currently,isolation was all we knew.
As we were talking through all of these things it hit me..
Think of this..
You are newly married and the Lord sends you and your brand new husband off on an adventure a little different than you pictured.. you’re off in the mountains ISOLATED from people, places, anything and everything really..except for the Most High God..nature..and each other..for, lets say, 6 months.I don’t know about you but I don’t think it would really bother me to be with my husband in isolation. We would have an opportunity to get to know each other in a way maybe we hadn’t been able to before amongst all the noises of the world. We would get to walk and talk with the Lord.. growing strong together as we are in full and complete unity with our Creator.
Even the mere thought of it romances my tender heart.
Right now in this time of isolation the GOD of the universe wants me to Himself. Wow. It’s hard to even fathom. I was so excited when this realization hit me. God had drawn me away from the twelve to mentor me one on one! I was satisfied growing amongst some amazing hearts chasing after the King; but He knew there was so much more I could learn if He had me by Himself. I quickly jumped out of that pity party and leapt into the arms of my Father. Through this experience, which is still not over, I have learned that He truly is MORE than enough.
Every moment waking up with Him and only Him my heart has the ability to overflow with all surpassing joy..but I must choose Him..every moment of every day. Choose to let Him be enough for my soul and spirit.
While discussing Isolation I feel it to be appropriate to tell you why I chose the blog name "Camel Skins and Chocolate Covered Locusts." While discussing this topic with some friends a couple of nights ago we began to talk about John the Baptist..if you are not familiar with the story parts of it can be found in Matthew Ch.3 but John went off into the wilderness for YEARS and YEARS to be with the Lord..and during that time he wore camel skins and lived off a diet of wild honey and locusts..My friends then informed me I should wear camel skins and I said 'oh yeah and eat chocolate covered locusts!' 'That would be a great blog name!' Lilee exclaimed..and there you have it!!
Praise God for He is infinitely MORE than ENOUGH!! 
Tell the heavens and the earth
   to start singing!
   Tell the mountains
   and every tree in the forest
   to join in the song!
   The LORD has rescued his people;
   now they will worship him.
   Isaiah 44:23 (Contemporary English Version)
