Good God,

Give it all... break it all, lost it all in trade for you. Leave it all, gain it all, leave again. I'll come running back to you. I would give it all away to make you happy. I can't see the day the night romances me... Dream it all, build it all, cry it all, laugh it all the way with you, lost the night, lose the day, and run away...until you say romance me, dance around the room."

Seriously, I don't get how You do it. Through the muck of my day, under the inconvenience, over the mundane, with every push and pull, You do the unexpected! You totally surprise me, catch me off guard, and warm my heart.


Thanks God for that gentle reminder that You've been walking along side of me all along. Thanks for putting up with me when I get totally distracted and crazy wound up with an immense amount of worry You never meant for me to carry. Thanks God for getting it, and reminding me once again of the simplicity I so long to live inside of!

I want to abandon the loads of crappy baggage I've been harboring so long now, that only weighs me down and keeps me from You. Swallow me up in Your Grace God!
