you

Hello there bloggy friends! You are looking especially lovely! It's 2:00am right now and I'm writing this as I stare upon a starry night's sky. I can't sleep and for years I've taken sleepless nights as a call to prayer. So, for the past few hours I've been praying and processing, listening, and lifting up individuals that are impressed upon my heart. I'm also saying a prayer over each one of you right now. May you know the Lord more intimately than ever before. May He be the One that you run to first, your Healer, the One you look upon for comfort and seek earnestly.

If I can be quite honest with you I've been struggling lately. With many things, big and small, and I've been expressing my frustrations to the Lord. Thank goodness he's big enough to handle my every woe. He is invading my heart and I have faith that he is working miracles around and in me, even when I cannot see them, even when they look different than I'd hoped.

I want to leave you with a song that I've been lifting up in worship. It's beautiful and ministering right down to my very soul. May it minister to you as well. *He must increase, but I must decrease* John 3:30

You

Invading all my weakness

You wrapped me up in grace

The worst of me succeeded by the best of You

My heart is overtaken

My soul is overwhelmed

The worst of me succeeded by the best of You

My dreams have found their purpose

My future in Your hands

This life would have no meaning if it weren't for You

So I lay me down

For Kingdom come

Steel all that is within me

Cause all I want in this world is more of You

And the less of me it is You

Increasing as I fade away

Your light for all the world to see

God it is You who breaks the chains

It is You who lights the way

And everything I am cries out to You

Lord make my life transparent

Your life in mine displayed

And let every earthly glory

Go back to You

So I lay me down

For Kingdom come

Steel all that is within me

Cause all I want in this world is more of You

And the less of me it is You

Increasing as I fade away

Your light for all the world to see

God it is You who breaks the chains

It is You who lights the way

And everything I am cries out to You
