Editor’s Journal: Trust God At All Times and Song Inspiration
We can trust God at all times even in the world we live in today and in the storms of life because we know the One who holds the world has us in His hands when we put our hope in Him. Love is trustworthy always.
.
Here’s one of my favorite songs in Haitian Creole: Konfie’m Nan Dieu. The lyrics loosely translate to: Trust in the Lord, know that He takes care of me. In the wilderness or in bad times. The oceans may rise but God holds me firm, my Papa in Heaven will take care of me… .
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock. Isaiah 26:3-4 ESV

Lyrics From You Say
I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know
[Chorus]
You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don’t belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe
What You say of me
I believe
[Verse 2]
The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity

God’s Love Lives Forever
Love wins every battle and lives on forever baby… in this race of life know that when you know Jesus you’re covered – your future is secure and continues to be bright no matter what you face…so arise and shine! We’ve got the best prize of all…
When we were kids and even now superheroes drew us in… We put on our capes and wanted to fly and be extraordinary and we looked up to them and still savor their stories. Little did we know that the greatest Hero and Savior of all was inviting us to be part of His story.
From a perfect Garden walking in relationship with His kids who wavered in trust, to a Garden and to a cross where He saved us from sin & darkness and poured out His love❤️, to a Garden City redeemed one day when we will live together in His eternal light again – it’s the greatest love story ever told and He draws us all in to know Him the greatest Storyteller ever.
We’ve got the victory cause our Hero is victorious. Because of Jesus and how He conquered death and sin and because He lives we win in every battle of life and literally have the same power in us that can resurrect what died – from our dreams and hope to broken relationships and lives… not just one day of the year but everyday! (Yeaaaah…victory dance). – Julene, Editor of Dream in Soul Magazine
“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” 1 John 4

When You Pass Through the Waters He Will Be With You
Whatever you go through, whatever the storms or fears that try to engulf your hope know that you are so loved and God is on your side!
I was in the hospital last weekend & out of whack for a week or so but wow amidst it all I had the weirdest & coolest God experience. He is real, He loves us, He is sooo, sooo good & has a plan for our lives – just seek Him and you will find Him and His plan for your life! – Julene, Editor of Dream in Soul
But now, this is what the Lord says—
he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
Isaiah 43:1-2 NIV

Music Notes: Show Me From Caroline Grace
Show Me is an inspiring song by Caroline Grace about finding her way when it comes to love and life. Caroline Grace says:
“There have been times in my life I’ve found myself getting lost along my own path. ‘Show Me’ is a sort of intro prospective plea to remind myself of who I am and what I stand for,” Caroline states. “The beauty of the song is that it can also apply to various other circumstances. It can be listened to as a love song between two people, a song about loving oneself, or even a worship song. That’s the goal in all of my music – to utilize my own vulnerability to relate to other people in any way that I can and let them know that they aren’t alone.”

ABOUT CAROLINE GRACE:

The daughter of legendary Off-Road Racer, Carl Renezeder, is no stranger to the spotlight but is now stepping into her own as she inspires others through her soulful and humble music. While studying English at USC, Caroline found that her passion for music and desire to share her gift with the world were becoming overwhelming and decided to put all of her focus and attention into breaking into the music industry and spreading a positive massage through her beautiful melodies and impactful lyrics. Her sound is wide-ranging from acoustic to trop pop and she remains rooted in her personal values of kindness, love, and helping others wherever she goes. At just 21 years old, Caroline has already worked with some of the biggest names in the industry and is preparing to release her debut EP that she worked on with Jason “Poo Bear” Boyd.

Editor’s Journal: Embrace His Peace and He Will Give You Rest
“Walk with me & work with me—watch how I do it…Learn the unforced rhythms of grace… Keep company with me…you’ll learn to live freely & lightly.” Matthew 11:28 MSG
.
In a world that’s hurried & image and success-driven God can give you rest & peace in Him to live like Heaven on Earth… Ever since I was a shy little girl I was ambitious & creative. I started my first business in elementary school selling a homemade magazine, art & cards to teachers & friends & continued my ventures into high school & college running a nonprofit for kids & branding & design firm…
All was great until I became a workaholic & performance-driven – I found my value & worth in serving others (serving is a good thing but not when it is your only value) my talents, the praises of others and the awards and scholarships I won.
Inside I was broken, isolated. I mistreated my body and felt like a robot who longed for relationship and for identity but didn’t know I could find it in God. Suddenly in an encounter in the emergency room He showed me His love & how He did intend us to work and be fruitful like in the Garden but in a less hurried, more full way- His success is spiritual, relational, mental, physical and eternal.
With His grace and supernatural power we can have more impact with less striving & grind- He can give us wisdom to do more without neglecting relationships, health and our connection with Him.
Jesus saved the world in three years of ministry and He spent most of His time with God, family and His disciples- go forth boldly toward your purpose but remember there’s more to life than constant hustle.
I want to encourage you to work from His grace and rest, not in trying to impress anyone. His dream for you is that you love & partner with Him & His family in purpose to draw people to Him & have a bigger impact then we could ever have in our strength.
Come give Him your burdens & pain – He can handle it and trade you for His peace that surpasses understanding! “Come to me, all you who are weary & burdened & I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you & learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart & you will find rest for your soul…

Some lyrics from “Be the Change”
It won’t be different till we start unleashin’
The the truth
Let it loose go
Be the change
That you want to see
Don’t be afraid to be
The change
He started inside of you
Now let it shine through
Be the change
Live like your made to be the change
Inhaling this mess
You’re breathless
To scared to speak up you’re feeling powerless
Being cool ain’t always right
You don’t have to compromise
Do you hear his truth inside roaring in you like a lion
Be be be fierce
Be be be fierce
Stand up and take a swing risk everything
Be the change
That you want to see
Don’t be afraid to be
The change
He started inside of you
Now let it shine through
Be the change
Live like your made to be the change
Lead the way to His light that won’t burn out
To His love that laid it down
To His hope that leads the way
To His light that won’t burn out
To His love that laid it down
To His hope that leads the way
So we can be the change
