For His Glory

God has really been using songs to speak to my weary heart lately.

Tonight before bed, while drowning out my brokenness, “Stillness, by Lion & Bear came on.. Read along with the lyrics, and listen to it on your time if you will..

“Another day, I woke up with feelings, I don’t recall. I try to remember feeling better, But I can’t at all. ; I keep waiting for a moment to catch my breath, Slow down my mind, My heart is tired after all these years of running, and running, and running, and running, and running, So lets take some time to rest in the stillness. — There is nothing I can’t do when I’m resting in the stillness, There is nothing you won’t do when to keep me, to keep me in the stillness.– People are saying, things will get better, I hold on to hope for a future where things are brighter, I don’t know where to go.– I keep waiting for a moment to catch my breath, and slow down my mind, my heart is tired after all these years, of running, running, and running, so lets take some time to rest in the stillness.–There is nothing I can’t do when I’m resting in the stillness, There is nothing you won’t do to keep me, keep me in the stillness. I’ll search, I’ll find rest, I’ll search and find rest in the stillness.”

God is taking me through this season of stillness, its been hard, and the end of it is harder than ever. I want to run, I want to scream, I’ve planned to die, but God is greater, and he’s telling me “Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, I’m nigh unto the broken hearted.” This storm can’t last forever.

Today, while a Walmart, I saw some owl ornaments that matched my Christmas tree, and I purchased them, along with a snow globe with owls, and also some owl charms, that I intend to hang around the rearview mirror of my car. While looking at the owl charms, I also saw butterflies. I just smile and thank God for this. —

I don’t go looking for the signs, they just appear to me, sometimes I even cry. Nevertheless, I’ll press on towards the mark of the high-calling Jesus has on my life.

I’ll learn through the pain, and try to dance in the rain. I’ll walk the isles of the church when Jesus says walk, and humble myself before the altar when he says kneel. He has became my strength and my portion forever.-

I’m finally emerging from the cocoon I’ve been stuck in, and breaking free.. I’m beginning to fly–

❤ God didn’t promise us days without pain, laughter, or sorrow, nor sun without rain ❤ But he did promise us strength for days, comfort for the tears, and light for the way ❤

❤ God promises to make something good out of the storms that bring devastation to your life. ❤ Romans 8:28

Remember I love you all, & Jesus loves you Most!
