that happened tonight. in the quiet of my bedroom.
Merry Christmas - He's the God of your days.
God of My Days
Gateway Worship
You awaken my heart
From slumbering
Meet me in mourning
And you speak to my grief
You're the light in my darkness
The delight of my eyes
The hope of the daybreak
When the sun's slow to rise
(Chorus)
I trust that every moment's in your hands
You're the God of my days
The King of my nights
Lord of my laughter
Sovereign in sorrow
You're the Prince of my praise
The love of my life
You never leave me
You are faithful
God of my days
You unveil my eyes
Help me to see
The arms of my Father
Encircling me
You're a constant companion
I am never alone
Your love is the banner
That's leading me home
(Chorus)
My eyes are on You
My hope is in You
My faith is in You
My eyes are on You
My hope is in You
My faith is in You
Geez...when you're trying to sort through so many actual & hypothetical situations running through your head, I'd encourage you to just start preaching to your soul.
Then, put your iTunes on shuffle and believe that He's going to speak to you through whatever songs pop up. (haha, but really!) At the end of about a 1 1/2 hours, I felt completely drained. but refreshed/restored/renewed. (HOW does God simultaneously kick your butt yet hold you in His arms??? ahh, He is faithful to discipline those He loves!)
My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline,
and do not resent his rebuke,
because the LORD disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in. ~Proverbs 3:11-12
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. ~Revelation 3:18-20
Glory. Must be doing something right if the Father finds it worth it to correct and pour into me. =)
And yes - had another absolutely blessed Christmas, surrounded by my parents, siblings, niece & nephews...have to agree with Nick: "Man, if you had people around us that just heard us talking and didn't know what movies and tv shows we'd seen?...They'd have us committed." (hahaha!)
Looking forward to this final week of 2010, free of school & work (work that I get paid for, at least), ready to wake up in the morning without the assistance of an alarm clock. As I was journaling this evening, it finally occurred to me how fruitless it is to try and guess what God is going to do in 2011. (seriously?! too much caffeine.)
not anxious, just expectant for what the Father has in store. (and I cannot imagine a better place to start it than Passion 2011! So very stoked to go with Sam-a-lam & Joesha.)
More to come, I have lots of reading to do this week; glory to God!
but for now, going to rest my head on some Hallelujahs.
