music

hello :)

it's going to be a wonderful saturday, i believe....
i just wanted to share 2 songs i really love right now...

"your hands"
jj heller

i have unanswered prayers

i have trouble i wish wasn’t there
and i have asked a thousand ways
that You would take my pain away
You would take my pain away

i am trying to understand
how to walk this weary land
make straight the paths that crooked lie
oh Lord, before these feet of mine
oh Lord, before these feet of mine

when my world is shaking, heaven stands
when my heart is breaking
i never leave your hands

when you walked upon the earth
You healed the broken, lost and hurt
i know You hate to see me cry
one day You will set all things right
yeah, one day You will set all things right

when my world is shaking, heaven stands
when my heart is breaking
i never leave your hands

Your hands that shaped the world
are holding me
they hold me still


 
**i know this song makes it sound as though i'm upset or feeling that my world is shaking, but really...i just like it**

His Straight, Not Mine

Whenever I have a huge decision to make, I stress. My default mode is "what if I'm wrong??" This has been true for the last 10+ years of my life. College, mission trips during college, where to teach after college, quitting teaching, moving to Baltimore, leaving Baltimore, beginning seminary. All decisions fraught with questions, doubts, fears. And I'm there again. Graduated from seminary, looking for the next step. Wondering. Doubting. Questioning. Hoping. Dreaming. Fearing.  Every big decision is the same. You'd think I'd have learned by now just to decide or jump or trust or whatever. But no. The reason for this struggle is that I so badly long to do what I am meant to do. I long to follow God where He is leading, to fulfill the purpose He has planned for me from the beginning. But I'm only human. And so how on earth do I know what God has planned for me? And how on earth can I possibly do that without screwing it up completely?  I look at vers...

34.

One of the things I love most about my birthday is that it falls so close to the beginning of the year. A new calendar year and new life year start together.  I also love that I share a birthday with Kate, Duchess of Cambridge.  You know, the important things.  I've thought a lot about this year and what it would be like. Not because I've now officially hit my mid-30's (oh my goodness, really??) but what will 2019 and 34 hold? The last two years have been the hardest I've faced. Everything felt like it was breaking to pieces, and I was never fast enough to gather them all up before they landed, or good enough to keep everything together. These pieces were significant chunks of my identity. Things (and people!) I had placed a lot of value in, that I thought defined me, were gone. Slowly, suddenly, systematically, chaotically. It felt very much like I was being stripped away, and that there wasn't much else there.  At the same time, the world also se...
