Clinging to Him alone

I don’t wanna be stuck in this misery
I’ve tried my best to make it on my own
But I’m in way too deep so deep that I can’t sleep
As I wait for the sun to break the dawn
And I’ve given up on myself
Given in to someone else

Chorus: So wash away the madness
\‘Cause You don’t care what’s happened
You don’t even think about the things that I’ve done wrong
So give me a new start \
Create in me a new heart
Fold me in to Your sweet embrace
Give me amazing grace

Now I wanna to see and tell about the mystery
Of how someone can love a wretch like me
You can make a blind man see and You can change their destiny
Of everyone that comes to You and believes

You’ve got to give up on ourselves And give in to someone else

BY JACKSON WATERS-check 'em out.

This song is my anthem right now. I'm not relying on myself...but on Him alone. I want to tell of HIs goodness and how He has restored me before and continues to do so! His love is amazing.

Driving back on a Sunday night

I was driving back from Mesquite to school tonight and was playing God of This City, by Chris Tomlin. I love this song already, and after reading messages from the lovely K-Mass (can I call you that now?) today, I decided to take out my Afters CD and put it on. (shock, I know.) Anyways, right as the song started I was driving right towards the Dallas skyline. And I started to giggle. Isn't it amazing the way the Father has placed people where He wants them, right at perfect times? And I find it amazing that I'm able to serve Him here in Dallas, as well as in the foreign lands He calls me to "play" in. Despite the things that may be going on between and in the buildings of Dallas and the struggles the people of the metroplex endure, how comforting it is to know that He IS the hope of this city and the HOPE of this nation.

AND I find comfort in the fact that no matter how great things are going, there's still greater things to be done in Japan. The darkness there is immense and I know I'm heading into a battlefield in exactly 2 months. However, I can't stop smiling when I think of the way that just in the past year we've had so many e-mails of people placing faith in Father. His sovereignty and His purpose surpasses all of our human expectations and ability. And how grateful I am for that...
