I purposefully didn't make any New Year's resolutions this year; instead, I made a New Year's promise: To pursue the heart of God.
About two months ago, I was introduced to a song by Amber Brooks that has literally become my heart's cry for this coming year. The name of the song is Come Like You Promised...
Check out the lyrics:
Stir these stagnant waters of my soul, Merge me with Your river which springs life, I don’t have all the right words to say That will provoke You to want me Anymore than you already do.
So won't You come, Come like You promised Pour out Your Spirit, Pour out Your Spirit! (repeat)
Come into the darkness where I hide, Jesus, be the strength of my life. Reach in past my hiding, Oh, reach beyond my running, Oh Lord, flood my soul with Your love!
So won't You come, Come like You promised Pour out Your Spirit, Pour out Your Spirit! (repeat)
You love like a Father! You love like a brother! You love like a Lion, Fierce Like no other You violently chase me Down, to embrace me. Engulf me, In who You are!
We want for You to come! Lord, come like You promised! Pour out Your Spirit! Pour out Your Spirit! We want for You to come! Lord, come like You promised, Pour, out Your Spirit, Pour out Your Spirit… (repeat)
I feel like I haven't blogged in like, forever! :) My life has been crazy busy, and I'm sad at the fact that I haven't had the time to sit down to write... Alas! There's good news! I'm going to return to writing this weekend because that's when things should return to normal in my world. I miss writing and my bones feel dry for the lack there of... Can't wait to get started again!
Below is one of my favorite songs by Misty Edwards & band. Hope it blesses you today! Muah!
I was planning to blog today, have all sorts of things to share, but as I listened to this song over and over and over and over again during my quiet time, I thought I'd share this instead of a few words...
A friend passed along this video to me, and I cried. My tears were a reflection of a deep brokenness I had been feeling for quite some time, yet through it all, I've kept this song in my heart. As of late, I've felt like I've been able to feel the wind of His presence again, and it feels so great and assuring. "All of my life, in EVERY season, YOU are still GOD, and I have a reason to sing..." Check out this testimony and song (Desert Song by Hillsongs). I've loved this song for a long time, and I had no idea of the testimony behind it.
It's 75 degrees, the leaves are starting to change color, I'm driving my Red Volkswagen Beetle with the sunroof open and the windows down. As I'm breathing in the afternoon air, this is what I'm listening to:
Happy Friday, all. Have a great Labor Day weekend.
When I opened my eyes this morning, this song was swirling in my mind. It made me smile to get out of bed and look out the window at a cloudy sky and a few raindrops clinging to my windowsill. It reminded me of how refreshing the presence of the Lord is. So fitting for the day...
Feeling a bit down today... then I remembered to exalt Him. And in doing that, I was quickly shaken of insecurities and taken to a place of total peace and restoration. I love to be in His presence. Here's another one for my worship video series...
Makes me wanna get outta my seat and dance! So fitting for the day...
Eph. 3:17 ...And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
