I'm so close. I can feel you. I'm home in your arms. Please keep me and bless me... Never let me go. Oh, Lord, How I love you. I want nothing else but to be with you. My heartbeat is changing As I run the race. It beats to the rythym of love. "I love you." "I love you." "I love you." I can feel it pulsing through my veins. It's deeper and louder than ever before. I'm growing... Maturing. The chains are broken. I've been set free. I'm running faster and farther. I'm dancing now. Singing so loudly. Shouting with joy. Freedom reigns in this temple. Sweet Jesus. Victorious you are. Lover of my soul. Redeemer and friend. How I long for nothing more Than to be yours forever.
So July 3rd, 2008 marks an anniversary. The 1 year anniversary of living in Ohio.
I was driving down the street the other day and this song came on... how true it really is about my move to Ohio.
This is Home
by: Switchfoot
I've got my memories They're always Inside of me But I can't go back Back to how it was I believe now I've seen too much But I can't go back Back to how it was Created for a place I've never known
Chorus: This is home Now I'm finally Where I belong Where I belong Yeah, this is home I've been searching For a place of my own Now I've found it Maybe this is home Yeah, this is home
Belief over misery I've seen the enemy And I won't go back Back to how it was And I got my heart Set on What happens next I got my eyes wide It's not over yet We are miracles And we're not alone
(Chorus)
And now after all My searching After all my questions I'm gonna call it home I got a brand new mindset I can finally see The sunset I'm gonna call it home
(Chorus)
Now I know Yeah, this is home
I've come too far Now I won't go back This is home
I've seen so much, felt so much, experienced so much... and it's all been because God asked me to. It's been an eventful, wonderful year and I've learned that my home is with Him and not in any place of this world. I love you all who have been with me on my journey and loved me, cared for me, laughed with me, cried with me, held me, and more. You all have been a blessing and I appreciate everything you mean to me. I will hold on to my memories and cherish them as well as the friendships. I also look forward to what else is in store...
So, my ttile originally started out because I was thinking of how I've neglected Xanga... but then it kind of hit me half way through typing... maybe I've neglected a little bit of God too. I've been sent on this great adventure and I've been owrking on so many things, but in the last few days, I've realized... I kind of left God out on all the good stuff. I run to Him in times of need and I ask why this... why that? But I didn't feel like I've shared all the good stuff with him lately... it's kind of sad. I think over the holiday season, i've realized I have kind of taken on my mom's personality. I'm not quite as intense as she is... however, she tends to think she has to do everything on her own. I think I've been feeling like that lately. But my life is so much cooler than that... cause I have God!!!! and I don't have to do everything on my own. He will help me!!! and He will celebrate with me!!! and he will do everything with me because he's my best friend. Anyways - this totally wasn't what i was going to post, but I think it's better than what I was originally going to post about... so it's going to stay. ♥ ...
