My life...His plan

Lately I've begun to feel God tugging at me. I'm not sure why, or what, or how, or when...I don't know details. But I feel the tug. So I've just been praying for clarity and for Him to use me as He sees fit. Scary prayer...

For today's Music Monday selection, this song made perfect sense. I think you'll agree. Sorry for the poor quality video, but there weren't many to choose from and this was the best of them! The lyrics follow...

Here I Am ~ Downhere

Lyrics ~ Here I Am
Downhere

Sometimes your calling, comes in dreams
Sometimes in comes in the Spirit's breeze,
You reach for the deepest hope in me,
And call out for the things of eternity.

But I'm a man, of dust and stains,
You move in me, so I can say,

CHORUS:
Here I am, Lord send me,
All of my life, I make an offering,
Here I am, Lord send me,
Somehow my story, Is a part of your plan,
Here I am

When setbacks and failures, and upset plans,
Test my faith and leave me with empty hands,
Are you not the closest when it's hardest to stand?
I know that you will finish what you began.

These broken parts you redeem,
Become the song, that I can sing

Here I am, Lord send me,
All of my life, I make an offering,
Here I am, Lord send me,
Somehow my story, Is a part of your plan,
Here I am

Overwhelmed by the thought of my weakness,
And the fear that I'll fail you in the end,
In this mess, I'm just one of the pieces,
I can't put this together but you can.

Here I am, Lord send me,
I wanna live my life as an offering
Here I am, Lord send me,
Somehow my story, Is part of your plan,
Here I am

Here I am, all my life an offering to you, to you
Somehow my story, Is a part of your plan,
Here I am

Yes, here I am Lord...so broken, but I am Yours.


"For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."
Philippians 1:6

Jason and I have raelly felt the same way, and we have been praying like crazy that God will show us what to do and where to go...jobs, life...just everything is changing around us.

Praying for you as well dear.

Hi Gigi,
My blog is an example of God tugging at me. I tried to start it a couple of years ago and I just couldn't figure it out. Then I took up the task again late last summer and everything fell into place. Keep listening!! Thinking of you today.

Hi, Gigi. Nothing scary about being in God's hands. :) It's just that we like being in control, and it takes so little to show us that we're really not... He is. He loves you more than anyone, and He will show you the way.

I've been there, Gigi. Praying that God will make plain the path that He has for you to walk, my friend. :o)

Happy weekend, and have a blessed Sunday.

Love and hugs,

Diane
