My heart is moved by the thought of you
I wait left to wonder
My mind it dreams
My heart it moves
I get that feeling...

I know you will follow Him and He’ll lead you here
I pray for you my love
And someday soon
You’ll call my name
And I’ll come runnin’

But for now, until then
I will wait
My eyes to Him, my heart is His
That’s where I’ll be
I’m at His feet
That’s where you’ll find me

There will be a day when we’ll stand before our God
With our hearts together
You’ll take my hand
We’ll say those words
Here’s my forever
We’ll walk through life
With love so deep
My friend my darling

But for now, until then
I will wait
My eyes to Him, my heart is His
That’s where I’ll be
I’m at His feet
That’s where you’ll find me

I come to You
Eagerly I seek
Day after day
My heart and flesh are weak
My heart and flesh are weak

I ask You why
You do not see me
Only for a day
Do I humbly come
Do I humbly come

Keep your feet from breaking
Delight in the Lord
There you'll find your joy
In Him
If you call He will answer
He'll say "here I am"
Your life in the shadows
Will be in the light
Will be in the light

You say that I
Should love like You
To the least of these
Your glory will appear
Your glory will appear

I have a new photo album up of some photographs a friend of mine took for his portfolio.
You all need to check him out. He is amazing.
He made me look cooler than I really am!
Chris Reichman.
He was in my community group this last year and I have gotten to know him and his wife pretty well.
They are amazing!

Here is my song, I wrote it just for you
I told you I would sing it just for you
I'll sing you these words, that my heart wants to say
Hold them in your heart, and remember what I say
When I am far away from you...

You have watched me grow and you had to say goodbye
So hard to see your baby be so far away
But I know our love...has grown
I'll still forever lay my head upon your chest
Hearing your heart it beats with mine
My cup overflows
I love you

See who I am, I am a part of you
This beauty and strength, I learned it from you
I love how you pray, and the words that you say
I rise and call you blessed, please remember what I say
Each day that I'm away from you

You have watched me grow and you had to say goodbye
So hard to see your baby be so far away
But I know our love...has grown
I'll still forever lay my head upon your chest
Hearing your heart, it beats with mine
My cup overflows...
I love you

I need You, I need You
Bring Your glory, Bring Your glory
May it overflow
In me tonight

I glory in You
You satisfy, I delight in You
You complete me, You complete me

I need You, I need You
Bring Your grace, Bring Your grace
May it overflow
In me tonight

I glory in You
You satisfy, I delight in You
You complete me, You complete me

I need You, I need You
Bring Your love, Bring Your love
May it overflow
In me tonight

I glory in You
You satisfy, I delight in You
You complete me, You complete me

I was reading a sermon by John Piper entitled "The Beautiful Faith of Fearless Submission", and loved these words he spoke...

"A Christian woman does not put her hope in her husband, or in getting a husband. She does not put her hope in her looks. She puts her hope in the promises of God...She looks away from the troubles and miseries and obstacles of life that seem to make the future bleak, and she focuses her attention on the sovereign power and love of God who rules in heaven and does on earth whatever he pleases. She knows her Bible, and she knows her theology of the sovereignty of God, and she knows his promise that he will be with her and help her strengthen her no matter what. This is the deep, unshakable root of Christian womanhood.
She does not fear the future; she laughs at the future. The presence of hope in the invincible sovereignty of God drives out fear. Or to say it more carefully and realistically, the daughters of Sarah fight the anxiety that rises in their hearts. They wage war on fear, and they defeat it with hope in the promises of God.
Mature Christian women know that following Christ will mean suffering. But they believe the promises like 1 Peter 3:14, "But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled," and 1 Peter 4:19, "Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good."
That is what Christian women do: They entrust their souls to a faithful Creator. They hope in God. And they triumph over fear."

OH!! That I would be that woman!

I was checking out the Girl Talk Blog and they are reading through the book "Doing Things Right in Matters of the Heart." One of their entries talked about this quote from the book...

"Sisters, all the advice from Vogue, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan that talks about going after and getting your man, all the blather about how in this day and age it is just as acceptable for you to initiate as for him, is just that-blather. Be confident and trust your feelings on this matter. Be confident that if he is the man you hope and wish him to be, he will play the man. You crackle the leaves a bit when he is in the area and let him know you are there. Then wait for him to initiate, or not. In the long run, you will be well served either way." Doing Things Right in Matters of the Heart, page 94

Something the blog writer said was this..."Mom used to remind my sisters and me of this story when we were tempted to try to get some guy's attention. 'Allow a man to win your heart...and if he doesn't want to, then why would you want him?' God created men to initiate and he created women to respond. Or, as John Ensor (author of the book) also puts it, "His power is in the exclamation [of love]. Yours is in the echo." When we remember this, things will work right in matters of the heart."

Current mood:humbled
Check out this video.
A friend shared this with me and it is powerful.
I can't watch it without weeping.
The thought of Jesus fighting for me humbles me.

How are you living?
Are you living content with the fullness that is found in Him,
Or are you content with the fullness that leaves you empty.
I do run sometimes to nothing.
Do you hide when you get there like I sometimes do?
Why is this nothing, the nothing that I make into something?
Something that I long for instead of You.
Something that doesn't know me as well as You.
Something that fills me but only for awhile
Something that is nothing
Disguised as beauty my eyes are drawn to its attraction
My eyes are blinded by light that isn't pure
Once again I run to nothing
Hiding when I get there.
