i feel really weird, and i know that swimming coming up is going to make it hard to be around, practice every day and meets every wednesday. so God give me the strength to continue on this walk with you, my eyes glued to the prize ahead. as the song says "the world behind me, the cross before me".
because there really isn't any turning back. once you start your walk with the Lord, anything else is just empty.
thank you for your grace, Father.
may i learn to love you in new ways.
PS: i just heard this song, and it is SO accurate. actually read it, because it really moved me. i mean, we lay our lives down at the altar, but by the time we get outside, we've picked it back up again. it's called "the altar and the door" by casting crowns
Careless, I am reckless
I'm a wrong way traveling, slowly unraveling, shell of a man
Burn out, I'm so numb now
That the fire's just an ember way down in the corner, of my cold, cold heart
Lord this time, I'll make it right
Here at the altar I lay my life
You're kingdom come and my will was done
My heart is broken as I cry....
Like so many times before
I flood my eyes
I try before I leave the floor
Oh Lord I try...(I'll try)
but this time Jesus how can I be sure
I would not lose my follow through
between the altar and the door
Here at the altar
Oh my world so black and white
How could I ever falter
What you've show me to be right
Lord this time (Lord this time)
I'll make it right (make it right)
Here at the altar I lay my life
You're kingdom come, but my will was done
my heart is broken as I cry
Like so many times before
but my eyes, are dry before I leave the floor
Oh Lord I try... (I'll try)
but this time Jesus how can I be sure
I would not lose my follow through
between the altar and the door
I'm trying so hard, to stop trying so hard
just let you be who you are
Lord who You are in me
Jesus I'm trying so hard
to stop trying so hard
Just let you be who you are
Lord who You are in me, Oh Lord I...
Cry....
like so many times before
but my eyes are dry before I leave the floor
Oh Lord I try...(I'll try)
but this time Jesus how can I be sure
I would not lose my follow through
between the altar and the door

I trust that you will make time to connect with God throughout your day and that you will be disciplined with the word, worship and prayer.
You have no less time than anyone else, it just seems that way. :)
We will miss you on Wednesdays though, but I hope we will still see you on Sundays and Fridays.
You know that God is not in a building, he is with you always and is always completely available to commune with, so turn your heart toward him every chance you get.
Just keep kicking everything else off the throne of you heart. That spot is for Jesus only.
Love you.
