| Why do You love me
Why do You care
Greatly You’ve blessed me
And greatly I’ve erred
In all of my failings
You’ve stood in my place
With patience unending
And tireless grace
Kindness I did not deserve
Mercy I could never earn
Your blood and blessing cover me
Your love the sweetest mystery
How did You suffer
How did You cry
Placing Him under
My burden of pride
Afflicted and pierced
You delivered to death
The Holy Beloved
Your Life and Your Breath
Kindness I did not deserve
Mercy I could never earn
Your blood and blessing cover me
Your love the sweetest mystery
Nothing can separate me from
Your love, Your love, Your love
Nothing can separate me from
Your love, Your love, Your love.

| Today for every girl I declare love...
Starting
today through March 31st is in honor of "To write love on her
arms"...This is for every girl who has ever felt worhtless, violated,
broken, damaged, and lost. To every girl who has tried to take her
life, to every girl who has considered suicide, to every girl lost to
suicide, to every girl who doesn't eat, to every girl who eats so much
an then throws it up, TO EVERY GIRL WHO CUTS.
This for the women of my generation who ARE cut...My desire is to write love on your arms.
Infact I give my life to write love on your lives...
There is a King who has loved you deeper than you could ever come to know, and thats what I wanna show you.
So today have Hope...and give someone hope, write love on their arms. | | |
| Right now God is teaching me that sometimes when I think He is silent He is really speaking to me, and I get too busy asking Him to speak that I forget to listen. I tell Him I feel alone, locked inside a dark cold place and I can’t really feel Him there, and He tells me "then let me in". I get so afraid of what the future holds that I forget to accept what today holds. Lost in a place where my thoughts run haywire...they turn to worry, and I’m back to that place where I’m not truly trusting. I say I’m scared, and He just says remember I’m prepared. I tell Him I’m ready, I’m hungry for His will...I say anytime now, and He says I am. I get this idea in my head and try to hard to understand what He’s doing that I forget His ways are higher than mine! I spend my days putting time, and effort into what I’m so sure He wants, only to lie down that night and find He has something totally different! Something I’d never imagined, something I can’t even comprehend! Its funny when I fought so hard for healing, and spent endless nights lying awake hoping it would come...it never did. And just when I finally gave it to God, and truly trusted that oneday He would bring beauty from mmy pain, stopped being anxious, and restless, and trusted...and just when I least expected it I saw God as Jehovah-Rophe. He used so many little things to bring healing for so many hurts, and I know its not just a whabam your healed deal, it takes time, but knowing that He has begun to heal long bleeding hurts has sent hope, and given me releif. I cannot begin to tell you how important it is that we truly trust Him. Until you experience it you probably won’t understand, but oh if I could tell you how magnificent it is to TRULY Trust in Him...When the bible talks about "Blessed is the woman with a gentle and a quiet spirit, the lord is pleased with her." oft times people think that its saying women should be gentle, and not talk so much. Ummm... WRONG! He wants us to trust Him. To be quiet, content. Relaxed because we truly understand He is in control. He desires the best for us, and He knows that when we truly trust Him, and our spirits are (quiet) content in Him, our lives are full. That is really living. For so long I’ve let worry and anxiety consume me... its eating me alive, and I’m not really living. But today is a new day, and for the first time in a long time I’m alive. | | |
| Thoughts of yesterday consuming me. Where would I be if things worked out differently? I'm holding on tightly to what I have left. Look at my big mess. I want to go back. But I lack any strength. I feel listless, theres nothing left for me. I just lie here and make it through the day. Praying this would all end some how some way. | | |
| Here I am Lord and I’m drowning, in Your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me, I yearn for peace and rest
I don’t want to end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind
Keeps me awake tonight
I know you’ve cast my sin as far as the East is from the West
And I stand before You now as though I’ve never sinned
But today I feel like I’m just one mistake away
From You leaving me this way
Chorus:
Jesus can you show me just how far the east is from the west
‘Cause I can’t bear to see the man I’ve been
Rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
‘Cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
I start the day, the war begins
[these lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com]
Endless reminding of my sin
And time and time again
Your truth is drowned out by the storm I’m in
Today I feel like I’m just one mistake away
from You leaving me this way
I know You’ve washed me white
Turn my darkness into life
I need Your peace to get me through
To get me through this night
I can’t live by what I feel
About the truth Your word reveals
I’m not holding on to You
But You’re holding on to me
You’re holding on to me
