Too Much Late Night Thinking...

I decided that I think far too much. I need to fill my time with other things. But all my musing has led to a lot of "self-discovery" and some beautiful revelations about who my Saviour is and what He wants from me. I've wrote more songs since I've been here than I did all of last year, although it's been stretching me having to write without my piano or guitar.

I wanted to share some of the lyrics I scribbled down in my journal a few nights ago. It really shows where I'm at right now- with all the distraction and newness surrounding me, I want to be filled by the only One who can satisfy: 

Awake me from my sleep and I will run

Raise me up out of the deep and I will run

Give my soul the life it seeks

You are the only source to breathe

Awake me from this sleep and I will run

I will run to you- my soul is thirsty

For the life only you can bring.

If I seek it on my own

I will run forever on.

I will run to you, fill my soul. 

Call me out of my own dreams and I will run. 

Let me be your hands and feet and I will run.

Speak life into these bones, 

Search my heart, it's not my own.

Awake me from this sleep and I will run.

Its very simple and rough....but I thought I'd share. 

I had this vision in my head of me dropping everything behind me- my pride, my insecurities, my identity (all of which have been stumbling blocks)- dropping them, as if they were literal, physical things, and running to Jesus.
