Epic Fail

Okay...so not a huge epic fail, more like a set back. I was doing great, keeping up on my Bible Study, reading my Bible readings for each day, and working on the Love Dare with my man, then BAM! I fall in the driveway when we got ice and bruise my tailbone. Okay, so a few days I'm down and can't do much because I can't even sit correctly. Then Justin, my husband, gets sick and he's down while I'm trying to heal. Let me just tell you we were a hot mess together. So, I start to get to feeling better and then I get food poisoning. Yep, I know, I think I'm a magnet for any ailment.

So, I'm starting over. Okay, not completely. I'm picking up where I left off and getting a new focus. I had an epiphany in the car on the way home from the grocery tonight. Isn't it kind of ironic that I have these things that are setting me back, when I decide to make a commitment to get a closer relationship to God. I think that Satan has a scheme and plan when he thinks he has a hold on someone. Even the small things that he has a hold of, he's not willing to let go without a fight. I get it. So, I was listening to a cd of my favorite music right now, Jimmy Needham, and the lyrics to the song sent me into a full emotional meltdown in the car.

I have built a city here
Half with pride and half with fear
Just wanted a safer place to hide
I don’t want to be safe tonight

CHORUS
I need You like a hurricane
Thunder crashing, wind and rain
To tear my walls down
I’m only Yours now
I need you like a burning flame
A wild fire untamed
To burn these walls down
I’m only Yours now
I’m only Yours now

I am Yours and You are mine
You know far better than I
And if destruction’s what I need
Then I’ll receive it Lord from Thee
Yes, I’ll receive it Lord from Thee

(Chorus)

And it’s Your eye in the storm
Watching over me
And it’s Your eye in the storm
Wanting only good for me
And if You are the war
Let me be the casualty
‘Til I’m Yours alone
I am only Yours
I am Yours alone, Lord

(Chorus)

Come be my hurricane

Jimmy Needham - Hurricane

It's true, if destruction is what  I need, then I'll receive it Lord from thee.
I'm a work in progress.
