Move

I realize that some things are not made to be but my heart has these desires that seem right for me. Most often these aspirations aren’t what they seem and yet I believe them as if in stuck in some sort of dream. Feeding myself the lie I want to hear is leaving me with the empty feeling of pain and anguish and fear.

How do I move on from this disappointment when the world seems like it’s crumbling in my hand? I feel like I have so many more questions than answers and I’m struggling through this desert sand.

God, give me some guidance. Please show me where to go. In this time of suffering I ask your mercy will You show? Give me some direction and hold this blind man’s hand. All I need is to know You’re there. Please let me know I can.

This night it bites so cold and harsh. The weather changes so fast. And yet I know You will never leave or forsake me no matter what the circumstance. You’re bigger than the universe though it seems You’re much farther away. I’m searching for a light to see in this desolate place.

How do I move on when I can’t even see the sun? The dark is taking over and I’ve no strength left to run. But Lord Your loving-kindness has shown its favor on me. You never quit, You never stopped, You’ve never given up on me. You have given me guidance and showed me where to go. In my time of suffering, Your mercy have I known. You gave me direction and You held my weary hand. You let me know that You were there and showed me that I can.

For You are God Almighty, the Risen Lamb of God. Through you all things are possible for the children that You love. You have shown me mercy by sending Your only Son. I’m so thankful for Your sacrifice and I worship You alone. Now I move on and praise you for all You’ve done and will do. I find my strength in You alone my Rock and my Redeemer.

Amen.

I think since i left Hawaii i have been testing the desires of my heart, seeing which withstand and which wither away. There are a few that have lasted, and i am going to start seeking after them.

"I don't care what the world throws at me now, its gonna be alright!"

Wal-mart and rooftops have whispered magnitudes to me. This being one of them.

I love the paradoxal humor of being a Christian. Rock. Move. Lion. Lamb.
