God Is Good Lyrics

 Hey Friends,

Today, we are visiting track number two on our latest project. Mom brought God Is Good to the song table. It was a song that was ministering to her greatly. We have tried to keep our focus on the fact that God is good through it all. 

I also loved the song. When we started arranging the songs for recording, she suggested that I sing the first verse. 

I struggled to make it through the verse because it is my life in song form. Without a doubt, I can say from the bottom of my heart God has been extra good to me! 

Things did not go according to my beautiful life plan. In my third-grade plan, life was projected to be perfect.

At nine years old, I did not fully understand life or God’s goodness. I am glad God has stood by me through life’s curveballs. 

This song has become a crowd favorite. I think everyone can relate.

Verse 1

Third grade

 I drew my dreams on a blank page

My own silver screen 

Painted sun never rain

And love without pain

Funny the life I designed 

Never played out like I had in mind

Had some highs hit the ground 

Some ups that went down

But one thing that I figured out

Chorus

Joy comes tears fall

I am learning there is beauty in it all 

Not hard to find it 

You just have to look 

Oh God is good

Verse 2

I’ve said hellos and goodbyes

And I’ve held my friends 

While they’ve cried

Tasted bitter and sweet

Those moments between 

Oh He’s had His hand on everything

Chorus

Joy comes tears fall

I am learning there is beauty in it all 

Not hard to find it 

You just have to look 

Oh God is good

Bridge

We’re all young then we’re old

Kids have kids of their own

And the days they keep moving moving

If there’s one thing I know 

True wherever I go

He is with me forever through it all

Joy comes tears fall

I am learning there is beauty in it all 

Ending chorus 

Joy comes tears fall

I am learning there is beauty in it a

Not hard to find it 

You just have to look 

Oh God is good

Oh God is good

God’s Opportunity Lyrics

 Hey Friends,

I have not yet posted the lyrics to our new project on the blog. Today is the day we start The Next Step lyrics series. I may also give some stories behind the song and why they are special to us. 

Hopefully, we can add a page of the lyrics in PDF form soon. Dad always struggled to get PDFs onto Blogger. My research shows that it is a multi-step process. My phone signal is not adequate at the moment to figure it all out.

Ben Isaacs encouraged us to do this project. He produced, sang, encouraged and guided us through the process. He felt it was something we needed to do, as we try to find the next step individually and as a ministry. 

This is the first album by Kelly Jo and Odie. We recorded this just 7 months after Dad's passing. We wanted to include him, too. He is a co-writer on both original songs on the project. We started and ended with those songs. 

 

Song number one is titled God's Opportunity. Dad and Mom had begun writing God's Opportunity, and it was mostly done when he passed. Mom and I just finished a few spots and polished it for this recording. I love the way it turned out. 

Gods Opportunity

Chorus

Could this be an opportunity 

 For God to work a wonder 

make it new

We see impossibilities

But God sees miracles in me and you

Verse 1

Fret and agonize 

Over darkened skies 

Stumble down the road 

To find your way 

In a world of hate 

You must have eyes of faith 

So you can clearly see 

The light of day

Chorus

Could this be an opportunity 

For God to work a wonder 

Make it new

We see impossibilities

But God sees miracles in me and you

Verse 2

Twist and turn 

Crash and burn

Questions more than answers 

Every day 

Way behind lousy frame of mind

But there’s a silver lining to the gray

Chorus

Could this be an opportunity 

For God to work a wonder 

Make it new

We see impossibilities

But God sees miracles in me and you 

Verse 3

Here we go again 

Will it ever end

Cannot make it work out 

Like it should 

I have found God can turn it around 

And work it all for my good 

Chorus

Could this be an opportunity 

For God to work a wonder 

Make it new

We see impossibilities

But God sees miracles in me and you

Bridge

Troubles on the rise 

Darken all your skies

Please remember God is working too

I don’t know where you’ve been 

But I see you're still standing

He’s using every trial 

To strengthen you

 Chorus 

Could this be an opportunity 

For God to work a wonder 

Make it new

We see impossibilities

But God sees miracles in me and you

Family Time In Mississippi

 Hey Friends,

Wednesday afternoon was stupendous. We met up with family. It was wonderful to see the Mississippi portion of our Boggs clan. 

My cousin Deidre and her husband Ben Shoemaker are now pastors in Mississippi. They moved last summer. Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen now spend most of their time near there, too. 

It was great to catch up with them. We were able to see the church and where they live. 

I was thrilled to get to love on the kids. Charlie, Chloe Jean and Carson are getting so big. They are precious and make this Auntie smile. 

All too soon, it was time to say goodbye. Hopefully, I can see them again soon. Below are some pictures from our afternoon with them.

See you tomorrow.

Foodie Friday 2/20/26

 Hey Friends,

We have been eating some great food. Today, I decided to do a Foodie Friday post of lots of food. You may want to eat before looking at these pics. 😀 Sorry to make you hungry. 😀

Sis. Kim Morris makes incredible Gumbo. I had been craving it for a long time. She promised to make it for us this trip, and I have been so excited.  This batch may have been the best I ever eaten!

I love food. Dad taught me that eating is an event. He sure showed me how to enjoy my food. I always think about him when I eat something delicious. 

Now, I am starving. We plan to eat some of our favorited today and tomorrow. I will have to tell you about it later.
