I guess this is song week.  You might have noticed by my Tuesday selection that it was a bit of a wacky day.  The fact is I’ve been coasting the past few months.  My journey over the past few years has been a rollercoaster and I was tired of the ride.  I wanted a smooth ride with no bumps, no pain.  I quit reading while saying I just couldn’t focus.  I quit listening, saying I needed peace.  I was coasting with God, not growing with God.

I’ve been blessed by some good friends who speak truth to me and their words were getting dangerously close to truth I didn’t want to hear.  I avoided the conversation or said it was something I needed to think about…but I didn’t.  So, I think God put some things in motion in my life that forced me to face truth, another 2X4 to the head.  Monday night and Tuesday were a night and day of brokenness.  Painful brokenness.  Brokenness that God used to bring me back to Him, to get me off the coasting ride and to put me on the ride that is headed closer to Him.  He put a book in front of me last week that I needed to start reading today…and I did.  And, I’ll give him credit for opening my ears to the words of this song today, a song I’ve listened to several times but didn’t LISTEN to what it was saying.  I hope you enjoy.

Don’t Give Up performed by Third Day


This world just keeps on getting crazier and crazier everyday
You’re so afraid
Sometimes it feels like it’s chasing your sanity away
And you start to break
Let me help you find your way
Don’t give up faith
Don’t give up hope
There’s always something better
Waiting around the corner
Don’t give up now
Please, don’t let go
What can feel like the ending
Could just be the beginning
Don’t give up hope
Your life is spinning like a rocket that’s gone out of control
And you’ve let go
You’re slowly losing your confidence, you’re a wounded soul
But I hope you know
I can help you find your way
Don’t give up faith
Don’t give up hope
There’s always something better
Waiting around the corner
Don’t give up now
Please, don’t let go
What can seem like the ending
Could just be the beginning
Don’t give up hope
Don’t give up hope now
Don’t turn around
Keep on moving
Find your faith
You’ll be doing all right now
Don’t look back
Keep on moving
Find your faith
And you’ll be doing all right now
Don’t look back
Keep on moving
Find your faith
And you’ll be doing all right now
Don’t give up faith
Don’t give up hope
There’s always something better
Waiting around the corner
Don’t give up now
Please, don’t let go
What can seem like the ending
Could just be the beginning

God has something better for me around the corner.  A closer, deeper, more intimate relationship with Him than I have yet experienced.  Along with it, I think He has some new resolve for me too, resolve to quit seeing my relationship with Him the way that I have in the past.  I have allowed myself to accept programming that my performance was never good enough for people close to me…and I cast that same idea on God.  I know intellectually that isn’t the way God works and I believe my next area of growth is learning to believe it in my heart…to believe His feelings for me never waver.  I’ve said it before and I’m ready to say it again, I’ll never trade the pain for where it takes me with God.

Grace and peace to you.

Road Trip

I’m hitting the road this morning.  A trip I’ve had planned for awhile.  A trip that I hope will offer all I want from it.  I trust it will be a good day.

Did you buy Move by Third Day yet?

Here’s another sampling.  A friend pointed out this song, Sound of Your Voice, to me and it has quickly become one of my favorites.  Below are some of the lyrics.

I ran away from your love
But you waited for me
Yes, you waited for me
And then I heard your song
Singing over me 
 
Sing your song to me
Oh, there's no greater thing
Than to listen to the sound of your voice  

Lord, I am calling your name
And I'm waiting for you
Yes, I'm waiting for you
So won't you show me your way
And I will follow you
Yes, I will follow you

Singing over me
Bringing peace and mercy
With a song that never ends
Singing over me
Marvelous and holy
Lord, I want to hear your song again
 
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  I want to hear God's voice.
 
Grace and peace to you.
