Grace
This song came over Pandora yesterday and brought such a flood of memories with it. Remembrances of those days when this song was the one thing I clung to that gave me a glimpse of hope. Today it still gave that hope. The past weeks since we moved I have fallen into old habits again...neglecting the important for the wants of the moment and I just had to sing along while inwardly repenting and turning once again to the One who is so patient with me.
While cleaning my girlie's toys that had been in contact with the mice droppings and previously inhabiting cat's hair, I chose to listen to a conference session by Susan Hunt....it reverberated in my heart and I couldn't help but shed a few tears. I felt like I could have it on repeat all afternoon and still never grasp the complete depth and life that she shared. I so long to be a wife/mother/friend who is a life-giver...to be a woman who simply bubbles with a deep inner joy and quiet confidence and boldness in following her God...to have the ability to dance in the glorious sunny days where the sky seems to be within reach and the wind gusts could carry you to lands beyond the sea....I can't dance yet. Inside I do....but I have not yet cut the ties that bind my feet but this I have, FAITH.
One day I will dance. One day I will have that joy that bubbles and springs forth unhindered on even the darkest of days. One day.
This I know because I know in whom I have believed.
When I take the tiniest of steps toward Him, He responds as the father of the prodigal son who came running to meet him. His heart is for me and so I will wait and continue to lean His way until the work is finished.
