I've had no coffee this morning! Now that's scary. I had hot chocolate instead and, while I love hot chocolate, it is not a substitute for coffee. In addition to coffee, sure! Instead of coffee, no way! I want my coffee!
Alrighty, I am getting off to a really lazy start. I don't wanna do anything. I'm so glad it's a holiday weekend, but I know it's going to fly by. I can't believe classes begin again this week! I need to finish reading the book, I've been reading so I can at least have 1 of my 6 books read before class, because I just can't keep up with everything between work and everything else in my life. I wish I could have had 2 books read, but 1 is better than none. And I will have to trust that I can get through another semester. Well it won't be in my own strength, but God's. Cause right now taking a semester off sure sounds nice. But I will move on. And I will make the best of this. And I will enjoy every area of my life and not get hung up over school! I can do this!
I'm listening to Nichole Nordeman, one of my favorite singers. Her lyrics are just amazing. I hang on to every word. Right now I'm listening to this song, one of my favorites:
What If (Nichole Nordeman) What if you’re right? And he was just another nice guy What if you’re right? What if it’s true? They say the cross will only make a fool of you And what if it’s true?
What if he takes his place in history With all the prophets and the kings Who taught us love and came in peace But then the story ends What then?
But what if you’re wrong? What if there’s more? What if there’s hope you never dreamed of hoping for? What if you jump? And just close your eyes? What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise? What if He’s more than enough? What if it’s love?
What if you dig Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends What if you dig? What if you find A thousand more unanswered questions down inside That’s all you find?
What if you pick apart the logic And begin to poke the holes What if the crown of thorns is no more Than folklore that must be told and retold?
You’ve been running as fast as you can
You’ve been looking for a place you can land for so long But what if you’re wrong?

I love this song. I find myself asking "what if....?" After I"ve run out of what to say to someone I love so much. When that person knows it all anyway, so what could I say? I can ask, what if? You don't believe in Jesus who loves you so much. But what if you're wrong? About it all.... Why is it so hard to believe? Because everyone has let you down, and you believe He did to? Or is it more so what you believe He didn't do. But what if you're wrong? Wrong about how it works. It's easier to believe that He doesn't exist than to face the question of whether He did or did not let you down. But what if you did ask? What if you faced Him? What if you told Him how you felt? Maybe you'd find that He's hand has been reaching for you all along. What did you expect His hand to look like? Maybe it's what you didn't see. Or what you didn't think would be the way He'd come to your rescue or comfort you. Maybe if it wasn't for Him, you wouldn't be here right now. What if? p.s. Ok, I'm really not trying to make every entry a song. But a song can just say it all. And I haven't written my own songs in a while (really need to get back to writing!)... |
