I am really at peace today. The last few weeks have been hectic to say the least. Some extreme lows in there and also some extreme highs. I have had some great faith conversations the last week and have shared some tough things but all in all - I know God is making a way for those conversations. He is in them, behind them and in front of them. The last few days I have been seeking the Lord pretty hard on a few things that I am struggling with. He has brought me to a different place for sure. I am excited to be teaching tonight for our middle/high school student ministry. God has placed some things on my heart to share with them. This afternoon while on my afternoon walk with the weather so nice out.. how could you not feel great about a day that the Lord has given us? I came across a song that I know I have heard before. I know I have played before but I know has never spoken to me before.
I will share Jeremy Camp's song lyrics to Surrender.
Purify this tainted soul
I'm tired of living life a fool
Soften up this hardened clay
To be a servant, this I pray
A reflection of You, I long to be
So Your kingdom I will seek
I surrender to Your throne
Oh, I surrender to Your throne
I will make my heart Your home
Oh, I surrender to Your throne
I've taken things I thought my own
Only to reap what I've sown
You've given back the years I fought
An ending love and grace You've brought
Eternal hope and peace You bring
And forever unto You I will sing
I surrender to Your throne
Oh, I surrender to Your throne
And I will make my heart Your home
Oh, I surrender to Your throne
Forever unto You I will sing; Forever unto You I will sing;Forever unto You I will sing
I surrender; I surrender; I surrender
Oh, I surrender, I surrender, I surrender, now
What a powerful song.... it brought me to my knees this afternoon. Love when the Lord does that. Pumped about what God is doing all around me. Had a chance to pray for a family this morning who goes to our church over email. I got a letter in the mail from a student who used to work for me. I also got an email from someone who shared some hard things. I had a few text messages with one of "MyKids" who is in a hard place right now trying to find her way.
Incredible what happens when God is in the middle of things.
Peace for you today,
Lonnie~
