God is good!

Today’s lesson

Today, I learnt about Honesty.

Honesty before man, but also more importantly, before God.

I learn so much from the girls & women around me. It’s kinda obvious when a girl is God-fearing. It shines through in her speech and manner. Soft, yet strong.

So grateful for sisters in Christ.

Learning still.

(and i find myself in You)

You know what I just realised today?

It was a pretty cool realisation.

A rather personal reminder.

A revelation even.

Ready?

Mis – (insert verb)

“Ask me no questions, and I’ll tell you no lies”
- Oliver Goldsmith

Misheard lyrics (august will pass! haha), misinterpretation, missteps, misdirection. Brooke Fraser was right on the money when she wrote “show me how I should live this” in ‘Faithful’. Ah well,

Philippians 3:13-15

13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

15 All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.

Exciting things ahead! Oh anybellyhoo, not to continue being emo or anything… but hey look at this Greg Leswall song! ‘It’s been a year’! Hits where it hurt(s). Heh. I like him. A little Janove Ottesen, a little Jose González, a little Rob Thomas/Matchbox 20, a little Counting Crows. Very mellow. He does a lovely play (<– click) on ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ too! Okay, at the risk of being pigeon-holed as one of those people who annoyingly force their music taste onto their readers, here!

Yeah it’s about that time
that you contact me to make rhyme
and reason of what we did
now that it’s been a year

Don’t clutter your head
I’m fine
Don’t clutter your head
It’s been some time
And I’m fine
Strange it’s almost been a year

And you sound so sweet
You sound so sweet
To me

I should know better by now
Then to pick up that God damn phone
But I don’t
And it’s almost been a year

And you sound so sweet
You sound so sweet
To me
You sound so sweet
To me

Yeah it’s about that time
That you contact me to make rhyme
And reason of what you did
Now that it’s been a year

And you sound so sweet
You sound so sweet
You sound so sweet
You sound so sweet
To me
You sound so sweet
To me

Seated

Carried to The Table
(click for song)

Wounded and forsaken
I was shattered by the fall
Broken and forgotten
Feeling lost and all alone
Summoned by the King
Into the Master’s courts
Lifted by the Savior
And cradled in His arm

I was carried to the table
Seated where I don’t belong
Carried to the table
Swept away by His love
And I don’t see my brokenness anymore
When I’m seated at the table of the Lord
I’m carried to the table
The table of the Lord

Fighting thoughts of fear
And wondering why He called my name
Am I good enough to share this cup
This world has left me lame
Even in my weakness
The Savior called my name
In His Holy presence
I’m healed and unashamed

You carried me, my God
You carried me
