It'll Be (more than) Alright! (AGAIN!)

So I'm still kind of on the down side of the emo coaster today. Don't you hate that? When your spirit wants to get excited about the work God is doing in your life but your heart and mind are in the dumps? Has that ever happened to you? If not, I'm so glad! If so, I know exactly where you're at!

So today, I'm gonna throw out a few more things to remind myself (and maybe some of you all who are having a dumpy day) that it'll be (more than) alright ... as God continues to heal.

Here is a song that God has been putting on my heart lately. It is a GREAT song to sing when I am being dumpy and thinking only about myself and the pain I'm feeling. If you don't know it, catch me when I'm feeling bold, and I'll sing it to ya! :) Here are the lyrics.

I NEED YOU MORE

I need You more, more than yesterday. I need You more.
More than words can say, I need You more ... than ever before.
I need You more. I need You more.
More than the air I breathe, more than this song I sing, more than the next heartbeat.
More than anything, and Lord, as time goes by ... You will be by my side.
And I never want to go back to my old life.
Right here, in Your presence is where I belong.
I know my broken heart has finally found a home. And I'll never be alone.
I need You more.

And here's another song that I want to be the prayer of my life!

JESUS, BE THE CENTER

Jesus, be the Center.
Jesus, be the Center.
Be my Source; be my Light, Jesus.
Jesus, be the Center.
Jesus, be the Center.
Be my Hope; be my Song, Jesus.
Be the Fire in my heart; be the Wind in these sails.
Be the Reason that I live, Jesus. Jesus.
Jesus, be my Vision.
Jesus, be my Vision.
Be my Path; be my Guide, Jesus.
Jesus. Jesus.

I pray that all those who read this post are NOT feeling dumpy ... but for those who are, keep leaning on Jesus. That is what I'm striving to do! Let Jesus be your song today! That's what I'm gonna try to do for the rest of my day! ... Yay! It is amazing how striving to bless others fills me with joy (and will hopefully lift up your day!). :) Let's keep runnin' this race, guys! "Our light and momentary struggles are achieving for us an eternal glory!" I'm holding onto that promise! Wanna join me? :)

Hebrews 12:1-2 --- "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us THROW OFF EVERYTHING THAT HINDERS and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us RUN WITH PERSEVERANCE THE RACE MARKED OUT FOR US. Let us FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT GROW WEARY AND LOSE HEART."
