Hello, Lord

This is a song I heard tonight after a LONG time of not hearing it. I hope you like it. I'm sure you've never been here...lol It's by Sara Groves.

Hello, Lord, it's me Your child
I have a few things on my mind
Right now I'm faced with big decisions
And I'm wondering if You have a minute

'Cause right now I don't hear so well
And I was wondering if You could speak up
I know that you tore the veil so I could sit with You in person
And hear what You're saying
But right now...I just can't hear You

I don't doubt Your sovereignty
I doubt my own ability
To hear what You're saying and to do the right thing
And I desperately want to do the right thing

But right now I don't hear so well
And I was wondering if You could speak up
I know that you tore the veil so I could sit with You in person
And hear what You're saying
But right now...I just can't hear You

And somewhere in the back of my mind
I think You are telling me to wait
And, though, patience has never been mine
Lord, I will wait to hear from You, oh, Lord
I'm waiting on You.

Right now I don't hear so well
And I was wondering if You could speak up
I know that you tore the veil so I could sit with You in person
And hear what You're saying
But right now...I think You're whispering.

Man, what a great song. Sometimes it just feels like there's no way we can hear what He's saying to us...like He's whispering. It's too noisy here. There's another song that that last sentence brings to mind...Just Making Noises by Justin McRoberts. Lord, I don't want to just be making noises 'cause those noises keep me from hearing what You're saying to me. I'm not going to quote Mr. McRoberts 'cause two songs on one post is kind of crazy...lol Anyway, don't forget to read last night's post...I think you'll like it.

Anyway, I don't know if I'll have another chance to post before the end of the year or, I guess, the start of the new one, however you want to look at it, so here's my New Year's Blessing to you all: May God bless you and enlarge your territory. May His hand be with you and keep you from harm so you will be free from pain. May God bless your endeavors and pour down blessings. May you never forget what He has given you, and may you never, ever forget that He is Lord and that we are His children bought and paid for with a terrible price . May you always trust in the Lord with all your heart and all your mind and all your strength and may we never forget that He can do "immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever!" (Eph. 3:20-21)

I love that Sara Groves song! I think she's just great. Are you a Charlie Dodrill fan? Man, that guy really knows how to hear from the Lord. If you ever get the chance to hang out with him, it's a treat to hear him talk about his relationship with the Lord. Something about being a monk, but he has really learned to be quiet and listen. I want to learn that, too.

About the freelancing--the freelancers I use are for proofreading, but we only use people who are local (saves two shipping days that way, when people can pick up and drop off work at the building). If you have a science background, though, we hire content freelancers for all kinds of things. (I work for Glencoe, and we publish science textbooks, by the way :))
