my beloved

it may be no surprise to you that i am sharing another set of song lyrics from a certain artist.  but, friends, the lord speaks and restores through song.  i have found myself repeating this song over and over again in my car.  what sweet moments!  these lyrics remind me so much of what i am learning in my small group this fall.  it may be wishful thinking with the number of grading assignments on my to-do list this week, but i am hoping for some time and some eloquent words in the near future to express all that i am learning through this study

please, dear friends, breathe in these lyrics.  be still and listen.  allow god to whisper these truths and these promises into the depths of your heart.

{you're my beloved.  you're my bride.  to sing over you is my delight.  come away with me my love.  you're beautiful to me.  so beautiful to me.  under my mercy come and wait.  til we are standing face to face.  i see no stain on you, my child.  you're beautiful to me.  so beautiful to me.  i sing over you my song of peace.  cast all your care down at my feet.  come and find your rest in me.  i'll breathe my life inside of you.  i'll bear you up on eagle's wings.  and hide you in the shadow of my strength.  i'll take you to my quiet waters.  i'll restore your soul.  come rest in me and be made whole. you're my beloved.  you're my bride.  to sing over you is my delight.  come away with me my love.}

truth?  i have been really inconsistent with getting to the gym over the last few weeks.  i need to do better.  this needs to be a priority again.  i can do this.  in the meantime...

...i will start again tomorrow.  i promise.  hold me accountable...ask me wednesday.
