This song has a humbling theme for me. It's a reminder of the fact that what I want doesn't really matter. Ahhh. That is such a hard one to over come. But! God is good. He knows exactly what we need AND when we need it. And that is the beauty of His Will! So enjoy. THough I can't afford it right now, I hope to record this one and many others that I have written this summer, in the midst of recording my CD (so I couldn't record them then.).
Seek first the kingdom
For it is not of this world
Lay down your earthly things
And leave them behind
Seek the will of a Father
Who will keep you safe from harm
He is our love, deep inside
Our Holy Satisfaction
Let the Provider fill your need
Seek the one who turns mourning to rejoicing
May his will encapsule your life.
Don't live for people
Look to God alone.
If you have so much pain
It makes it hard to breathe
Come to me and I will give you rest
Let me breathe on you
And give you eternal life
It's love, the Father's will is LOVE!
Let the Provider fill your need
Seek the one who turns mourning to rejoicing
May his will encapsule your life.
Don't live for people
Look to God alone.
Our God has created peace
And overcome the world!

God Working [In Me]
I've been reading Experiencing God with my church this summer, and have really been moved by God.
This book is really affirming for many reasons, because it's helping me switch the view point from me to God, from selfish to selfless. I knew that there were reasons that I felt compelled to do things, to encourage other people, and at times I could feel the Holy Spirit with my and knew that God was doing the work and not me, but now I'm in a view point where I see that it's not just me, in fact it's not me at all doing anything!
In this book, there are certain things that are highlighted and pointed out for looking for where God is at work in you. This helps me because it leads me to pray a certain way, instead of the normal "Help me..." Instead it's "Lord, do your will ..." This is completely different! and I love it. I've been yearning for it all my life!
What I'm learning is that when I feel compelled to do something, I need to let God do everything, not try to direct my own thoughts and words. God's doing everything around me. In every situation I'm in, instead of doing the usual logical thinking, I let God tell me what to do, instead I ask God what He wants me to do! For someone as stubborn as I am, this is a working progress, and remembering that God is number one in my life reminds me that He should be on my mind all the time, not just part of the day, and be in eery activity, not just the ones I think I need Him in.
It's easy for me to discuss and be candid, to high heaven, in fact, I could talk somebody's ear off. But for now, I'm going to start having holy conversations, because I really do hate small talk as much as the next person.
This is a short update, there's so much more spinning around in my head that is good and healthy and God! May God lead you to listen to His Voice instead of your own.
