It's been a while since I've posted...and that's mainly because I honestly think I have just survived one of the busiest weeks of my life. ever. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little...but I've definitely been super busy! Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I did a local youth missions project called Splash. Those days consisted of organizing school books, washing windows, painting bathrooms, pressure washing windows, cleaning closets, scrubbing walls, putting out mulch, among other things! Thursday I went to six flags with my family. Friday I babysat all morning, cleaned someone's house all afternoon, and cleaned our church that evening. Saturday I helped my softball team do a car wash, then cleaned at my great grandmothers house. And next week I'm helping with music camp at my church all week!
Busy busy busy! But definitely fun fun fun :)
But, believe it or not, the point if this post is actually not to ramble about what I've been doing all week! Yep, I've got something to tell you :) Well, tell you and show you.
To begin with...listen to this. Please :)
It's a pretty amazing song, huh? I certainly think so. A few minutes ago when I listened to it, it kind of reached out and grabbed me. I had heard it before, but I hadn't listened to it then the same way I did this time.
This morning in Sunday school we studied Malachi chapter 1. Israel questioned Jesus asking "How have you loved us?". So many times in our own lives we look past all that Christ has done for us. We are given a difficult situation and begin to question God.
I think this song is a great answer to the question that Israel asked.
You are the light that's leading me to the place
Where I find peace again
You are the strength that keeps me walking
You are the hope that keeps me trusting
You are the life to my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
You calm the storms and you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You steal my heart and you take my breath away
Would you take me in, take me deeper now
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
You're ALL I want!
You're ALL I need!
You're EVERYTHING.
