Lately I have been in my head. Nothing in particular keeps me awake at night or prevents me from the sleep I very much need but rather the unparticulars that haunt me at this stage. None the less some nights or early mornings I find myself in the familiar nook of my couch with a throw pillow in my lap and a dog on either side of me breathing heavily as they sleep. I ponder life’s questions that are familiar to all and sometimes get lost in a rabbit whole of thoughts both perplexing and mundane. Other moments I let music steal my time. It ebbs and flows with my emotion and brings life to the prayers that I only say aloud in these wee hours of the morning. During these moments it’s just God and me. What do you have next for me Lord? I ask and impatiently await the answer knowing full and well that this little thing who’s name is patience is a lesson I must learn over and over and over …. and over again. There is a song I have very recently become attached to.
Made for Jesus- John Mark Pantana
A soft melody and the sweetest vocals that carry effortlessly to your spirit. “The whole point of my existence is to know you Lord …. the whole point of my existence is to know your love.”
Isn’t that the truth? When we strip away what the world tells us that we need in order to measure success or a life a well lived. When you take it away and bring it back to bare bones…. That’s it … those lyrics. “The whole point of my existence is to know you, Lord. The whole point of my existence is to know your love.”
What a revelation, just a simple truth to bare.
What is keeping you away friend? What is keeping you awake rather?
I love you all!
