The Story of Everything
Testimonies change as we experience life in Christ. We have our initial testimony of how the Lord reached out to us and we were able to respond, recognizing that we need Him in order to live now and eternally. There is the testimony of His extended grace, of His mercies, of His making a way out of no way, but in each season of our lives there is a new testimony that we stand on as we move from glory to glory.
I could tell you about my education, my degrees in Sociology from Ohio Wesleyan University, my Master's from The Ohio State University in Educational Administration or my pending PhD in Education from OSU as well. I could tell you as a child all I ever wanted to do was sing and somewhere along the way I lost the belief in the gift that God had blessed me with and gave it all up only to be asked by the Lord on a beach in Jamaica to re-accept the calling which cannot be revoked and leave my job at Wright State University to form Broken Box Ministries, a Christian Arts and Education Organization. I could tell you how the Lord instilled in me boldness and confidence in Him by allowing me to be the Youth Praise and Worship Leader under the ministry of Youth Pastors Tim and Leann Winton. I could tell you that growing up I looked for love in all the wrong places, hid myself from the world as often as possible and even now struggle with an intense desire to be hidden from view. But that is not my testimony right now...
My current testimony begins in November of 2001 when the man that I wanted to give my entire life to told me that he did not feel the same way about me and I thought that my life was ending. Being a child of the Lord I knew that God could take this pain and use it for His glory, but I didn't know how. As a woman who dreamed of one day ministering to and with a mighty man of God and raising a family, I was devastated and I could not understand why the Lord allowed my entire life to be shattered.
For over a year I had built my entire life around the hope of becoming this man's helpmate and yet this was not to be the case. My heart was breaking and even though I knew the Lord was with me I couldn't feel Him. What hurt the most was that I believed that God had ordained this relationship. It was then that I had a frightening thought. I wondered if the relationship that I had with this fallible human, who loved me yet could not love me as God did, meant more to me then my relationship with the Lord. I think I may have spent too much time seeking the hand of God about wanting this relationship instead of asking and allowing God to determine the outcome of my life. I never thought that He might have something better for me.
My struggle with finding love and acceptance in relationships is not a new mistake. It is one that I have made several times. And as I mediated on what my life was like and how I was letting God down again, it dawned on me that He truly was there to take me in His arms and hold me. For the first time I had a true understanding of His unconditional love, His ability to see the entire picture of my life and His desire to do only the best for me.
I had just begun singing and writing again and I did what I had done since I was saved in 1994 when I was in unbearable pain. I began to sing a melody unto the Lord and in about 30 minutes a song came out. Everything - even now when I sing the song I wrote on that cold November day, I get emotional because I know how much pain I was in and how much I loved that young man. But God is always faithful and it is often in our darkest moments that His love shines the brightest. Jesus is my everything, everything I ever wanted, dreamed of and needed.
The perfect gentleman, He is always waiting when I come home.

THis is a great CD. Naima lifts up my heart to the Lord
author: Dan JCmyHP Friends Page
Naima
My Hope is in you.
Available from:
CD BABY on-line music store.
Welcome to JCmyHP. Jesus Christ my Higher Power. Today we are looking at the 2003 CD from Naima. While this was new to me, and maybe it is to you, Naima has been on the scene for some time. I was blessed to see her perform Live at my church in May 2006. To repeat the cliché “She has the voice of an Angel” is to minimize the testimony you will feel in her songs.
Join us now for the next hour with Doctor Naima Tonya Jones PHD as she sings 6 of her original songs and three all time favorites you will never want to hear proformed by anyone else, after she raise her voice to the rafters in her version of the these tested Christian songs.
The lead song on this CD is “My Hope is in you”. Naima voice proves her range once again in this Message to the world from a loving Father in Heaven. [ Start song ]
Listen for His Voice as She sings : My Hope is in you”. Will you be the ONE to Answer the Call?
The joy of see Naima perform live is she tells the Stories around the songs. Her earthly father who battled with cancer made a huge impact on her story. Her dad’s victory she gives to the Glory of our God. [ Start song ]This song “Everything” the feature song and the name of the CD, tells the story that, God is Everything, as she writes “Here I am please Rearrange me in everyway” tells our story too . Once we answer His call. That voice that sounds like thunder. We are ready to have our lives molded the rest of the way to bring Glory to God in Everything.
Praise God from whom all Blessings flow. What a beautiful voice to hear his message. There still are prophets proclaiming his message aren’t there?
Breathe. We have hear this song many times from many artists. Get ready for a special treat. This is my Daily bread. The word of God is our Daily bread, Amen? There will be no doubt how we should seek his Word. DESPERTLY, . I need you Jesus, I need you Jesus, I need you Jesus, I am lost without you…. You’ll feel your spirit join her voice as she lifts this songs up to him.
Some times we just go to get a little funky. This song start, 1,2,3,4 with a little POP. [ Start song ] Naima asks the question you and I ask daily. “I am not what I want to be, “Jesus what is wrong with me?” Even the bad is Good, Jesus has a plan. All things work together for the His good.. so even the bad is Good with Jesus….
Stop what you are doing, Sit down. Put your hand together. Join Naima in this Classic. I’ll Fly away. You’ll love this song of our home with Jesus and our trip there.
I’ll fly away old glory….. That will get your blood pumping and your thought off the troubles of today looking into Glory.
This year Naima (as we speak I think) receives her PHD in education. Her story is exciting to hear. How wonderful to see this 35 year young woman lead this powerfull ministry in praise, prayer music. Her Father who works days and goes to school nights to take her family to a better life is her Hero here on earth. As she sings this nest song to Jesus she thinks of her days victories over cancer and the world. IN your shadow make us look deep into our Heroes.
I am in your shadow. If I could just let his shadow fall on me, if I could just touch the hem of His garment. What a beautiful song she prays.
Ascribe, that is a strange word. Naima tells us to Ascribe to Yahweh.
Psalm 29:1 Says” Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to God or Attribute to God might be the way we would say it today. We must give Glory to God for all He and we know He IS Everything.
The next Verse in 29:2
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of his [a] holiness..
Praise his Name and we see blessings….
You have to love her! Back staying in the Word. Job 13. Job finds his world in Shambles and tells us Thought HE slays me I will hope in hi, Job 13:15.
She adds “Finding peace in the mist of the battle”. Naima like a good servant of the Lord convicts us to look at what we do when our enemies are encamped around us.
What better way to leave this great CD and Continue on our day. Praising God!
“Praise God” tells us the devil tries to take our peace! Jesus died that we might live!and, We must Praise GOD he NEVER fails!
Praise God he has been Good to me!
