More musings...

I had yet more thoughts as I was at the puppet meeting last night. For anyone not familiar with me, I moved from the town I had lived in the first 12 years of my life about 5 years ago. About a year and a half ago, some of my best friends from over there moved only 5 miles down the road (praise God for that!). Through their moving, we met their two neighbor boys... Fast forward to now, thanks to the influence of my best friends and their family, both young men are involved in the puppet ministry and many other wonderful Christian things. I started thinking, had my family not moved, my best friends family wouldn't have moved either, which means these young men would never have been involved with any of the things they are now. This isn't to bring any glory to me or the fact that I moved, but instead glory to God for working these things for the greater good and I am honored and blessed that God chose to use me as one little peice of this wonderful puzzle.

Hmmm...

So last night at our puppet ministry meeting, a brother in Christ, Zach gave a devotional. It was an absolutely amazing devotional, but one line in it really stood out to me. "Being a Christian is not a faith based on emotions." Too many times have I said to myself that I feel indifferent, I feel like God is not with me, I feel like I'm all alone (notice the feel)... Feeling has nothing (really, NOTHING) to do with the reality. No matter what I say I feel, God is always there, always with me, always in control and always acting within my best interest and everyone elses in the world... Now who else can claim that?!?

Over my Head...

I have found a most wonderful song... God, always keep me over my head in love with You and in Your love... Some things I will never understand, but I will always rest in You...

~Over My Head~Brian Littrell~

I tried to figure it out

Time and time again and time again

I guess there's just some things I'll never understand

'Cause Your ways aren't our ways

But deep down in my soul, down in my soul

There is one thing I know that I know

I'm in over my head

Right where I wanna be

I'm so lost within Your love

The love that always covers me

So high, so deep, so wide

A strong and cleansing tide

My soul has found a place to rest

I'm in over my head

I've been holding on

Now I'm letting go, just letting go

Gonna let Your love carry me away

I don't know where I'm going

But I'm surrounded by the truth

And I can feel the current pulling me

Deeper into You

I'm in over my head

Right where I wanna be

I'm so lost within Your love

The love that always covers me

So high, so deep, so wide

A strong and cleansing tide

My soul has found a place to rest

I'm in over my head

You see me for who I am

You did reach out Your hand

You made me understand

That Your love has always covered me
