I am a child of god and i'm also a
work in progress. my prayer_ my want_ is to always be.
i want change in me. i hope that
you're always able to see change in me _ thru me.
i don’t want to be that person someone
looks at or sees 10 years from now and says “you haven’t changed a bit” nope, I
want to be different.
bc he has
been the difference.
even if
it’s the difference I’ll be for my kids in their lives.
i do not claim
to know nor have it all together. but I am seeking his face_ drawing nearer to
him_ listening for his voice and learning to receive his grace that’s offered me
daily.
something I’ve found hard at times to do. and i’m going
to mess up.
i’m going
to have an awful attitude at times.
but then
there’s God who says I’m worthy not worthless despite it all. he never throws in the towel bc
of my sin or says “I’ve about had it with this one right here. she wants the
best out of life and expects me to bless her. I think i’m about done with her. she just has it too good” lol no… he’s our dad, our Father and why wouldn’t He
want so much more for us. in fact, he says in spite of it all_ what you did_ what
your doing_ what you’ll ever do… I still love you. he gives me do-over’s every
new day when we don’t get that luxury a lot of times with people.
and I
don’t have the answers but I look to the one who does.
the one
who never lets go of our hand.
the one
who has overcome the world.
as unhealthy chains of past sinfulness & shame are
broken I can feel the shift. I’m feeling the freedom from it all as old ways_
old thought processes and lies that I’ve believed about myself are unraveled
and exposed. laid bare. only God can bring about life and restoration when things
are brought into the light. it’s when things go hidden that it gives power to
and over us.
in truth we don’t need many things in life but I NEED more
of jesus.
sometimes I get tired of my same rotation of music, though. i need something fresh_ something new. so I was going to put youtube videos on here of some new favorites i've found but instead figured I’d just give you the links. Annnnnd I’m hoping you’ll tell me some of your favorite’s. i would love to know or maybe something fresh & new you’ve found recently.
“my one
defense
my
righteousness
oh god
how I need you”
“lifted
up
defeated
the grave
raised to
life
our god
is able
in his
name we overcome
for the
lord our god is able”
“give me
faith to trust what you say
that your
good and your love is great
I’m
broken inside
I give
you my life
I need
you
all I am
I surrender
I may be
weak
but your
spirits strong in me
my flesh
may fail but my god you never will”
**And
lastly, I just found All Sons and Daughters and to say that they’re awesome is an
understatement. such goodness in their music. go give them a listen.
"your
peace is the melody
you sing
it over me now
i need a
reason to sing
i need to
know your still holding the whole world in your hand
and that
is my reason to sing"
"shout it
go on and
scream it from the mountains
go on and
tell it to the masses
that he
is god
we will
sing out hallelujah
