As a I was listening to Sugarland this morning and reading my Bible ( go ahead and rant about listening to "Godly' music when reading the Bible, I'll wait).........................
Alright so to my point, one song really hit me with the Truth . It's from their song, "settlin' "
"I ain't settling for just getting by
I've had enough so so for the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high
Just enough ain't enough this time
I ain't settling for anything less than everything,yeah
With my heart wide open yeah you know I will
find what it means to be the girl
change her mind and change the world"
So here is what I got from it: I can settle for what the world and people have to offer or I can reach to the heavens and get all GOD has for me. I am tired of people with their "prophecies" pulling me back from all that I see GOD has for me. I want to experience the fullness of relationship with GOD, whether I soar or I fall flat on my face. HE is there holding my hand, HIS WORD pierces my heart and convicts me of my sins. I will open my heart wide and love without holding back. I will dance with abandon before my LOVER. I'll make a fool of myself for HIS sake. And lets be honest I will make mistakes, I mean I am only human. Sanctification is process that will not be completed until I reach the threshold of heaven.
But in the mean time, I ain't settlin' for anything less than everything.

What I love about Revival...
"All I want is You to have Your way
You are the Potter and I am the clay
All I need is You to have Your way
You are Creator and I'm what You've made
Finally I Surrender
You are God I am man You are sovereign!!!!" ~ Misty Edwards
What is Revival: A restoration to use, acceptance, activity, or vigor after a period of obscurity or quiescence.
That's not new people coming into relationship with GOD. That's people dead in their relationship coming back to life. It's like GOD taking the paddles from the crash cart, yelling "CLEAR" and shocking the "hell" out of us. Think about it, you've slowly been slipping into the gripes of hell, either because of the shells hock of a life event or euthanized by the drugs of circumstance and personal comfort. Then the Creator GOD , the True Lover of your soul, the Great Physician comes into the room and revives you. He brings you back to life.
Revival isn't for the unsaved, it's for the dead.
"You won't relent
Until You have it all
My heart is Yours
I'll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
And many waters cannot quench this love
Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
Come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one" ~ Misty Edwards
And that my dears is what I am praying for that GOD shocks you.
You are the Potter and I am the clay
All I need is You to have Your way
You are Creator and I'm what You've made
Finally I Surrender

I just want to move.....
So this impassioned whine comes from two things going on in my life and well I am ready for some change.
In March, my dad took out a loan to buy some land and move my trailer off the church property. Now I know you are thinking I have no room to complain because he bought the land for you. Wrong!!! It maybe in his name but I am the one paying off the note. So, since around the first of March I have been the proud owner of land that my trailer is not sitting on. What is taking so long to move it, literaly one street over? Rain, inspections, fire codes, and my dad's procrastination. I am trying not to complain but all I have heard for three years now is "move the trailer". Now I have a place to move it and its been 2 months and nothing is happening. Nothing except the grass is growing higher.
Now the other thing is too personal to blog about right now. I will say this I am SO, SO, SO ready.
