it's no secret.
i think it's going around, these funks.
a weird, hazy, unexplainable funk.
but a stirring at the same time.
see, weird.
facing fears.
letting go.
holding on again.
running away.
trying to figure things out myself.
weak moments.
lost moments.
desperate for his strength moments.
and then today.
this song.
called me higher, sung by my all time favorite band.
let's just say i was a puddle of tears on the floor.
go listen to number four. then number six. whoa. [they're all so good. their first cd changed me. go buy it.]
hearing Jesus call me out of my weakness and into his strength.
[leslie's words, from all son's and daughter's, not mine]
oofta.
i couldn't not share it with you.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
i could just sit
i could just sit and wait for all your goodness
hope to feel your presence
and i could just stay
i could just stay right where i am and hope to feel you
hope to feel something again
and i could hold on
i could hold on to who i am and never let you change me from the inside
and i could be safe
i could be safe here in your arms and never leave home
never let these walls down
but you have called me higher
you have called me deeper
and i'll go where you will lead me Lord
but you have called me higher
you have called me deeper
and i'll go where you will lead me Lord
where you lead me
i will be yours, oh, i will be yours for all my life
so let your mercy light the path before me
cause you have called me higher
you have called me deeper
and i'll go where you will lead me Lord
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
like it was written for me. at this very moment.
thank you, Jesus, for always meeting me right where i am.
for gently pursuing me, finding me, forgiving me, telling me what i need to do to change.
you've never failed me.
and you never will.
and if you don't know this Jesus i speak of, please find me. email me. call me. i would love to tell you about him.
and if you're one of those in a funk, i would love to pray for you too.

thanks for sharing your heart. the words of the song...called me higher, called me deeper...yes, he has asked this of me too. why is it so hard? i feel like i fail in so many ways to go higher. i try and try and then burn out. can't do it on my own strength or will power, that is for sure. thanks to Jesus he will not leave me here. and he will carry me on when i can't go further.
i wish i could get you out of your funk, but i've been sorta having an 'off' year as well. praying for you girl--that's what i CAN do. and you can pray for me too:) much love.
sheesh, i miss you girl! sometimes i miss those fun, carefree, wild student venture girls we were together ;) those were good days. it definitely gets harder as we get older with more responsibilities and jaded feelings. but I love you forever and ever like a sister. and I'm praying for you sweet friend. jesus has used you in my life for years and i am so forever grateful. you are a huge encouragement in my life. You are so loved and so not alone in this!! xoxoxoxo
how have i not known about this band until now? i'm so glad you shared it!! downloading it right this minute. xoxoxo
I just happened upon your blog for the first time. I think you might be a sponsor on another blog I read and I'm a design wannabe so I clicked on over. When I got here, my jaw dropped because of this post! I am a new fan of All Sons & Daughters...I got to see them in concert two weeks ago with my girlies and it was INCREDIBLE- they opened for Kari Jobe, who is also amazing! I have been listening to this album all week...over and over. It is incredible. I think I'm gonna like it here. :) Your newest blog stalker. :)
hi. we should probably talk.chat.cry.laugh.
because, yea.....me too.
and then i beat myself up thinking, "but i have so much to be grateful for?! whats wrong with me?"
and then i just realize over and over again,
that it's a daily struggle.
something to battle each day.
less of me. more of him.
dying to me, to live in him.
ahhhhh. sweet molly. i'm giving you a squeeze.
and wishing i could just come over tomorrow.
love you sweet girl.
i'll be on my knees in prayer for YOU:)
its what sisters do. and the body of christ let's us call each other sisters. isn't that fun?
a good word for my heart that seems to go back and forth as well. it's so confusing and tough to be torn between the Spirit and my flesh. amen sister.
also, i'm now listening to All sons & daughters. good call.
