keep heart

~The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. ~

John 10:10

 

 I can't imagine life with out Jesus. His promises are so rich and give me hope. Lately life has been a series of storms. Each one adding to the other to create this tornado effect. I can't say I am fully out of the storm but I do know the one who calms the storm. And that's what is most important.

There are so many things I yearn for in life. I never thought I would still be single at 31. My heartfelt desire is to be a wife and mom. To create a home, to be pregnant and have babies and to raise a family. And here I am without any of that. I barely have a home :(

The purpose of this is not a pity party, but just to stand on the promise of God that He desires to give me an abundant life. That each day has purpose whether it feels like it or not. There is a Natalie Grant song that totally describes how I feel right now. It's called "Awaken." I couldn't state it better myself.

 

The lyrics are:

Sometimes I feel like I'm just existing
I'm not really living
I'm only watching the time slip away
I've forgotten who I am in you
I'm not who I'm meant to be
I'm drifting farther away from my destiny
[Chorus:]
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for you, lord

Awaken me
My soul is longing, my heart is searching
I'm desperate for you to move
Give me a hunger, pull me closer
I'm crying out to you
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for you, lord
Open my eyes so I can see your presence
Dwelling inside
Wake me up, 'cause I can't live another minute
if I'm not shining your light
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken the passion in me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me

 

We get caught in the storms of life sometimes and we lose who we are. Maybe life gets too overwhelming. I know it does for me and I usually just want to check out. 

This is my cry that I would hold on. There are sunny days ahead. Keep HEART. Don't lose yourself. And if you have lost yourself, find yourself or re-create yourself.

Live SOULFULLY and with purpose. Find good friends and hold on to them tight. I am so grateful for those I am surrounded by. I love my friends!
