| HE is my everything...Big Daddy Weave - Every Time I Breathe
From the album Every Time I Breathe I am sure all of heaven’s heard me cry
As I tell You all the reasons why
This life is just too hard
But day by day
Without fail
I’m finding everything I need
And everything that You are
To me
Chorus:
Every time I breathe You seem a little bit closer
I never want to leave
I want to stay in Your warm embrace
Oh basking in the glory shining from Your face
And every time I get another glimpse of Your heart
I realize it’s true
That You are so marvelous God
And I am so in love with You
Now how could I after knowing One so great
Respond to You in any way
That’s less than all I have to give
But by Your grace I want to love You not with what
I say
But everyday
In a way that my life is lived
Chorus:
Wrapped in Your mercy I want to live and never leave
I am held by how humble
Yet overwhelmed by Your majesty
Captured by grace and now I’m finding
I am free
You are marvelous God
And knowing You is everything
Chorus: It is amazing how often I forget to breathe...and to actively praise the Lord in the midst of the rain. I am blessed beyond measure at the sweet sweet grace He provides me with. I find myself falling more in love with the one who knows me better than I will ever know myself... | | |
| Music speaks...More often than not I include songs in whatever random post I come up with. I believe (with me) that the Lord uses music to speak to the depths of me, and in turn, causes me to turn them around back to Him as the cry of my heart... Empty Me
Jeremy Camp
Holy fire burn away
My desire for anything
That is not of You and is of me
I want more of You
And less of me
Empty me, empty me,
fill me with You, with You
Thank you Jesus I Surrender to You
Jeremy Camp
Lord, you live in me, you're my best friend
You're the King of kings, the beginning and end
Now that you have my eyes, I see your spirit inside of me
Chrous: All that I am is for you My Savior
I live by your word, and surrender to you
Here where I stand in this moment Father
My spirit has been renewed
I surrender to you
You hold the key to my life in your loving hand
Always by my side, I offer all that I am
So glad I realize You are the truth and the light...in my life
Chorus
Everything I need I find in you
I believe your promises are true
I will lift my burdens up to you
Your loving grace will see me through
Chorus
I surrender to you Longing Heart
Jeremy Camp
What can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ
Nothing this world can even change
The thought I once was lost but now been given grace
It's a mystery that I will not chase, yes it's a mystery that I will not chase
You are all this heart is longing for
Jesus, you are all my soul is pleading for

| The New Normal|
When I'm alone with you Lord
My troubles seem to disappear
And the peace that comforts me
Always comes when you are near
And the tears just fill my eyes
When I stand in your presence
And your overwhelming mercy
Brings life to me.
Cause your love’s too much for my heart to contain
Joy too much where my feet won’t refrain
Your touch has made me never be the same again.
(Chorus)
So I’ll dance like the rain on the roof
Tell my soul that the Spirit’s on the loose
Don’t know if anyone will understand
Feel’s like an angel has got a hold of my hand.
(Repeat Chorus)
So I’ll dance
When I think about the ways
That you have blessed my life
I sing a song of praise
Thankful tears fill my eyes,
Cause your love’s too much for my heart to contain
Joy too much where my feet won’t refrain
Your touch has made me never be the same again.
So I’ll dance like the rain on the roof
Tell my soul that the Spirit’s on the loose
Don’t know if anyone will understand
Feels like an angel has got a hold of my hand;
(Repeat Chorus)
So I’ll dance
I will dance with You
With You there to guide me
With You right beside me
I wanna dance with You
Dance with You
I will dance with You
I’ll dance; I’ll dance with You

| Letting go...To start this off on a lighter note...have you every looked at a word for a certain length of time and seriously wonder about it because it looks wrong when you study it. I just did that with the word 'letting'...it's a word allright, but my brain sure wanted to state something otherwise this morning. Ok...so back to my original point... So in the random discussions I have with the Lord, things can get pretty intense sometimes. I feel that the word 'argument' is too strong of a term to describe the conversation I just had with Him...but I can sure tell when He wins! Not in a bad way at all, more like a "Ha! Told ya! *grin*" To which I usually respond with a 'glare' and then start laughing (which is usually the end product He wants...but that's beside the point). That may sound so strange to some of you, but to those that know me know that this is an everyday occurrence. I got to school early today so I could get some studying done before class, and I when I got here I kept on hearing the word 'declare'. 'Lord, I don't understand what that means' I thought...but in all reality it meant, I don't want to think about that because I know I'll figure it out and then I'm going to have to do something about it. Which is basically what ended up happening. And then as I went to study I realized that I didn't have the right binder with me (yet another *grin* moment for the Lord) So here's some truth... When I reflect on the different seasons in my life I see the good and the tough Jesus has brought me through...even in the times I question where He's at. I've feared having a reflection moment for the insanity of the season He's leading me through now because there's a lot of pain with this one...and it's hard enough to live that through once, much less twice. But it's necessary...and I know He wants me to see what He's doing...He wants to clue me in on a bigger picture...He wants me to see Him in all of this. I'm not going into details about everything that's been going on, but the bottom line is that in EVERY aspect of school and in life and especially in EVERY aspect of my heart...something's been going on...and the enemy has been crazy busy on top of that. So, not gonna lie...the view you have of the Lord when you kinda hit rock bottom and you're flat on your back is pretty good because He's all you're going to see...imagine that. So as for the 'declaring' part...this is my statement:
'Lord, my life is yours...that's a given...but I'm specifically dedicating these next 2 years to you...because there is no way I'm going to make it without you going first and without you being right by my side. YOU know what's best for me and I trust that and I trust what path you have me on right now is for my refinement. I'm going to get tripped up at times...but I'm going to take those to heart as reminders of the bigger pictures, and the fact you probably are bringing something to my attention. The cry of my heart has become a song (go figure) 'I won't be satisfied, and I won't be found allright...till I find who You are.' Jesus, I'm letting go of the distractions and I'm reclaiming your focus. I'm letting go of my heart and abandoning myself to You...and making that surrender an everyday occurrence. Make me aware of the bigger picture...and take my keys...the jingling makes me nervous anymore!' So, my turn to *grin* at God because I'm always in the process of learning to obey Him...even if it's on xanga...how weird is that...hmm...
Because this song is amazingly perfect and because Jeremy Camp is the man and because I don't know what a post could look like without a song...here you have it Letting Go Gripping on so tight
To the security I have inside
Knowing what is right
Holding onto my cry
Letting go, of the things I hold so dear
Letting go, of all my pain and all my fears
Letting go, of the things I hold so dear
Letting go, of all my pain and all my fears
I have been brought to a place
Where I want to give up everything
Where all I can do is seek your face
The brokenness I will bring
Letting go, of the things I hold so dear
Letting go, of all my pain and all my fears
Letting go, of the things I hold so dear
Letting go, of all my pain and all my fears
Holding onto the things I deem so strong
Holding on even though I know I've held on too long
Holding onto the things I deem so strong
Holding on, to what I know...I'm letting go
