I like this: "Empty my hands of all the stones I've gathered"

These past couple days have been a little rough...

I'm trying to just trust the Lord, but it is becoming increasingly difficult.  Plans keep falling through the cracks of my life, and I'm sort of at the end of the rope.  I'm definitely at the end of myself.  

I wish I hadn't left something things undone.  I'm glad my God is able to restore what was, making all things new, all things whole.  He's doing just that for me.

This song just played on my itunes, and it has given my so much hope and peace.  Can I just say that I am really really loving Christopher Williams lately?  He writes such wonderful music!

Breathe - Christopher Williams

wrapped in the lonliness pretending to be strong
words comfort as much as a winter’s day is long
alone on the edge as proof that everything i thought i knew
has suddenly fallen out of view...out of view...i heard a voice say

walk to the water rest on the shore
let my love spill into yours
walk to the water fall on your knees
quench your restless soul by the water and breathe

when silence is surrendered by crossing bridges burned
and your breath is cut shorter swimming tides that coldly turn
when doubts sink deep and then rise stirring the depths where passions lie
breaking the surface of your disguise...just look into your eyes

find that which gives you breath and grants you more to give
because life ends not in death but with what dies inside while we live

That's all for now, folks.
