So... I found out this past week that I am going to have a nephew in August! I'm so excited about this sweet little guy and look forward to adding a boy to our family that consists mainly of girls. Can't wait for him to get here! Be praying for my sister and her clan as they are preparing for change and additions :)
While in Houston for Spring Break, Lia, AK and I heard a song at a church we visited that we immediately loved. It actually brought tears to our eyes. Before we heard it, we had been talking about how so many Christian songs today are focused on being happy and stirring up emotions in people rather than being true, authentic worship. The life of a Christian is filled with good times, bad times, times of spiritual drought, and feeling alone because of the way we stray from Him so often and so easily, and our worship music should allow us to not only praise him but also to admit our brokenness to him. Often times we need for Him to break our hearts. How badly I need this everyday.
"I Want a Broken Heart" by Derek Webb
I’ve got faith in the bank and money in my heart
I’ve got a calloused place where your ring used to be, my love
I’ve traded naked and unashamed
For a better place to hide
For a righteous mask, a suit of fig leaves and lies
I’ve got a calloused place where your ring used to be, my love
I’ve traded naked and unashamed
For a better place to hide
For a righteous mask, a suit of fig leaves and lies
I thought the cattle on a thousand hills
Was not enough to pay my bills
And I fell in love with those who proved me wrong
And now I want a broken heart
Was not enough to pay my bills
And I fell in love with those who proved me wrong
And now I want a broken heart
Now there’s a great pad lock
On the place where I was free
And I’m feeling bad from swallowing that key
Now I work real hard but I mostly call in sick
Of a broken back from the ground fighting back at me
On the place where I was free
And I’m feeling bad from swallowing that key
Now I work real hard but I mostly call in sick
Of a broken back from the ground fighting back at me
I cannot look you in the eye
So I check the knots on my disguise
‘Cause I fell in love with fashion in the dark
And now I want a broken heart
I’ve got alibis for every crime
A substitute to do my time
‘Cause Your heart breaks enough on both our parts
So now I want a broken heart
Now I want a broken heart
Now I want a broken heart
Well hopefully I will be visiting here more often than I have been lately, but I'm not promising anything. We have like three weeks left of school and my laziness is setting in. It's not good combined with my procrastinating attitude that is already present at all times. But oh well... college isn't about school, right? That's what I hear anyways... Speaking of college, I am about to be a junior. I've probably talked about this before but being a junior in college just does not sound right. Everything is speeding by and I would love for it to slow its pace.
Take care everyone and have a safe weekend! Thanks for reading my rambling as well :)
