Empty and Beautiful
This is by far one of my most favorite inspirational songs. It's called, "Empty and Beautiful" written and sung by Matt Maher. The song really relates to us and it emphasizes the struggles that we face each day. But this song also reminds us that Jesus is still with us and that He continues to give us strength, grace, and love to us even though we don't deserve it.
"EMPTY AND BEAUTIFUL" - MATT MAHER (Lyrics)
My past won't stop haunting me
In this prison there's a fight between
Who I am and who I used to be
This thorn in my side is a grace
For because of it the flesh and blood of God
Was offered in my place, my place
You fought the fight in me
You chased me down and finished the race
I was blind but now I see
Jesus You kept the faith in me
Where did my best friends go?
In my defense they disappeared
Just like Your friends did to You, oh Lord
But You were there, You gave me strength
So this little one might come to know
The glory of Your name, Your name
You fought the fight in me
You chased me down and finished the race
I was blind but now I see
Jesus You kept the faith in me
Awaiting, set apart like incense to Your heart
A libation I'm pouring out
Empty and beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You fought the fight in me
You chased me down and finished the race
I was blind but now I see
Jesus You kept the faith in me
You fought the fight in me
You chased me down and finished the race
I was blind but now I see
Jesus You kept the faith in me
Jesus You kept the faith in me
Savior, You kept the faith in me

Christ for Congo Ministries
Hello again everyone! Justin here...
About two weeks ago I met up with a fellow friend, Dr. Safary Wa-Mbaleka, who is the director of an organization called, "Congo for Christ Ministries" an organization dedicated to helping the poor and unfortunate people of Congo, Africa and spreading the love of Christ to each and everyone they meet.
Congo is a country hit by repeated wars in the past 13 years, and has claimed more than 6 million lives. As a result, the people of Congo suffered miserably and now are living in poor conditions. Dr. Safary Wa-Mbaleka and a team of Christian missionaries formed an organization called, "Christ for Congo Ministries," a group of Christians with a yearning desire to help the people of Congo and spread the love of God.
It was a pleasure working with Safary on an all new documentary film that explains the mission of the ministry program. It's a 10 minute video that describes the situation in Congo and the work of the C4C to help the people who are suffering.
Here's pictures of the missionary work in Congo and the behind the scenes of the documentary video shoot:
