Peace

So if you've read much of my blog, you can tell that I absolutely love Hillsong.  A few months ago, I heard this song "Forever Reign," and it was exactly what I needed.  I just came across it again today  and wanted to share the lyrics and song with you.

You are good, You are good
When there's nothing good in me
You are love, You are love
On display for all to see
You are light, You are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope, You are hope
You have covered all my sin

You are peace, You are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true, You are true
Even in my wandering
You are joy, You are joy
You're the reason that I sing
You are life, You are life,
In You death has lost its sting

Oh, I’m running to Your arms,
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

You are more, You are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord, You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here, You are here
In Your presence I'm made whole
You are God, You are God
Of all else I'm letting go

Oh, I’m running to Your arms
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

My heart will sing
no other Name
Jesus, Jesus

Oh, I’m running to Your arms
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

Life.

Well, once again it has been a while since my last post.  I know that God has really been working with me lately.  On my way to school this past week I pulled out my old Hillsong United cd and listened to "Free."  The chorus goes like this:

and if I had wings I would fly

'cause all that I need, you are
and if the world caved in around me
to you I'd still hold on
cause you're all that I believe
and the one that created me
JESUS.. because of you.. I'm free

I continue to be reminded that God has great plans for our lives.  I'm in Chicago for a few days for some technology training through school.  I have found my "down" time to be exactly what I have been needing.  I've been sitting in my hotel listening to worship music and not having any immediate responsibilities, and it is absolutely perfect!  When I'm home, I'm always looking for something to do and don't take much time to rest...without falling asleep:)

Another song that I am loving right now is "Rooftops" by Jesus Culture.  I heard it a few weeks ago at church, and it has been in my head constantly.  Thankfully some pretty awesome friends got it for me for my birthday.  I'll leave you with this:
