Wow, I just noticed it’s been almost 6 months since my last blog post. I’ll blame it on the fact that I have an almost 7 month old. See what I did there? I totally deflected responsibility. I’m fully anticipating all 3 of my daughters spending tons of money in therapy later and everything will be my fault, its OK, I accept this. So while I still can, I’ll blame my lack of blogmenship on them.
Now, to my actual blog…
I love music. 80s love ballads and 90s boy bands are my absolute favorite. I have 10 Pandora stations; I never listen to just one station though, it’s always on shuffle (unless I’m running, then it’s only my Spice Girls station.) No matter the genre, Jesus Culture, Bethel and Elevation Worship is on every one of them, so pretty much every other song is one of those bands. Jesus Culture comes on so much that whenever my husband hears them he says “all day everyday.”
Last week at church we sang this song. Here As In Heaven by Elevation. Do yourself a favor and listen to it. Now listen to it again. I can’t sing this song without busting out into prayer, I hope this song inspires you to pray too.
The atmosphere is changing now
For the spirit of the Lord is here
The evidence is all around
That the spirit of the Lord is here
Overflow in this place
Fill our hearts with your love
Your love surrounds us
You’re the reason we came
To encounter your love
Your love surrounds us
Spirit of God fall fresh on us
We need your presence
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
Here as in heaven
A miracle can happen now
For the spirit of the Lord is here
The evidence is all around
That the spirit of the Lord is here
Jesus, thank you so much for your love. Thank you that you love me. Thank you that we don’t have to clean ourselves up to come to you. Thank you that you wait for us with open arms. That you see us and know us. That you make us better. Thank you that you walk with us. That you aren’t a statue on the wall but you’re alive right now and walking amongst us. Thank you that your blood was shed for me, that I’m forgiven. Thank you that the devil has to flee at your name. Thank you that you are the one true God and that all names bow before you. Thank you for turning heartbreak to joy and ugly to beautiful. That you come in and do what only you can do. Thank you that through you, we are victorious. That chains are broken and we can get to the other side. Amen.
