At your feet I humbly bow.Take this heart and heal it now.In Your strength I am complete.Your grace is shown when I am weak. Holy Spirit wash over me.Empower me in time of need.Cause my faith to be renewed.Above all else to treasure you. The joy in Christ you grant so free,does not lack, or
Journal Entry
From the journal of Niki Schemanski Oh how the spirit is opening my eyes to the rejection and misunderstanding the Lord Jesus suffered while on Earth. It didn’t only come on the night of the cross; it came almost continually throughout his 3 years of His ministry. It came from his disciples, from the Pharisees,

My Favorite Painting

The Greatest Day In History
“The greatest day in history, death is beaten, you have rescued me. Shout it out – Jesus is alive!” These are the opening lyrics from one of my latest favorite songs “Happy Day”, and they’re still resounding in my head after leading worship on Easter Sunday. Personally, Easter is my favorite holiday. On Good Friday
