Be Still...

I can already tell that this year is going to really test my patience and ability (if any) to wait. Especially in stillness and in anticipation of whatever God has up His big sleeve. I'm sure it's going to be awesome, so I'm stifling my pride and holding my breath.

But, of course, you know... it's sooooo hard!!!

And yet--SIGH--what a great thing it is that God never gets tired of my BS. He got me tuned in to this song by Jars of Clay. It's not the first I heard it, but this was indeed the first time I really heard it.

I never minded calling You a king
If that meant that I could count on You
To give me everything
I never thought to ask You
I always thought You knew
It was never my intention to question You
You never minded calling me a child
Well, I guess that's how I acted all the while
But You live through every tantrum
You see through every lie
Though they seem to be more common
I just wanted to know why oh why

Unforgetful You

You never minded giving us the stars
Then showing us how blind and unaware of You we are
You painted me a picture and showed me how to see
Though I won't behold it
Unless it pertains to me

Unforgetful You
