Been feeling pants with relations to God for quite a little while. Came to a head this weekend for various reasons, and though I'm still working through some of that with Him, things are definately improving. Think God helped me see that He can be silent and thats ok. Also think He helped me see that He loves me still in what I see as my unlovely state.
Song from this weekend's services at church that reflect that:
Majesty (Here I Am)
Here I am humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace so free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice
Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever I am changed by your love
In the presence of your Majesty
Here I am humbled by the love that you give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand, knowing that I'm your desire
Sanctified by glory and fire
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

Isn't is great how music stirs and moves the soul. There is definately something in music that goes deep with me ... I feel ... I experience ... I am changed when I listen to music. It's both what is played and what is sung though that has the effect, they are both needed. Lines like: 'here I am, knowing that I'm Your desire, sanctified by glory and fire.' How emotive! Or 'Your grace has found me just as I am, empty handed but alive in Your hands.' Even just singing 'Majesty'!
So thank You Father that You are moving in me and taking me from where I was. It has been so lonely and empty and silent. Thank You that Your grace has found me right in that place. Thank You that I can be alive again in You. Thank You that I have been, am now and will always be Your desire. You are my desire too!

Hey Mo. Music is what stirs me up and gets me excited about God. I sometimes get more from it than reading my bible. Im not saying for a mo not to read your bible but sometimes God has different ways of speaking to us and all about learning to her him in all these different ways. Glad you feeling better tho girl. Keep your chin up!! love you
