This may be my theme song for this year.
So often, we do not understand why.... but Farther Along we will understand why. The words of this song along with the scenery in this video speaks volumes to me.
Isn't that just like God though? He meets us. Where ever we are... He is there. He never leaves us nor forsakes us.
I love beauty. I see it around me.... I love to go to places that are beautiful. I think that is why I love Destin so very much. It isn't that I "worship" the creation but the Creator. To me.... He is there.
With the hard this year.... I long for Destin more. I dream about going during the "off" season. I see pictures posted from there.... the beaches are empty.... oh what glory.
Still i get hard pressed on every side
Between the rock and a compromise
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin' for my soul
And i've got no place left go
Cause i got changed by what i've been shown
More glory than the world has known
Keeps me ramblin' on
Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall
I'm free to love once and for all
And even when i fall i'll get back up
For the joy that overflows my cup
Heaven filled me with more than enough
Broke down my levee and my bluff
Let the flood wash me
And one day when the sky rolls back on us
Some rejoice and the others fuss
Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess
That the son of god is forever blessed
His is the kingdom, we're the guests
So put your voice up to the test
Sing lord, come soon

I love this song too, Teena. There are so many questions, but it has been in those hard times that I've grown closer to Him. It's a paradox, but it's true. I believe He is calling us to simply trust and rest in Him.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed Christmas dear heart. Praying for you.
O how I have enjoyed that song! Thanks for sharing! It's actually quiet here while all of the others are gone hunting...just me & little Graham. He was playing & jumped up to dance with the music. His smiles & free spirit are priceless. We can't afford to let this world steal our joy! I've struggled with forgiveness this year. It's so encouraging to think of it just flowing away, down stream of the river, ending up where ever. The ocean scene is so peaceful too. I love those hideaways!!! Even though I don't see you much, your friendship means lots to me! Thanks for being such an encourager! Love ya!
