Today's song is sparked by a need for some change. Major change. Blake and I both have noticed that we need it. The sad part is that I've found myself in this spot way too many time in the last 5 years. I'm not sure if the problem is me or what. All I know is that the 4 or 5 times I've been here, I made a choice that didn't last. So I guess I feel like all of the following:
"Oh great... here I am again."
"What difference does it really make what I do... I'll just be here again."
"What am I running from?"
"Am I searching for something I'll never find?"
Tonight I listened to a great sermon online from the preacher at Quail Church. He talked about Joseph and all of the ups and downs he faced. He talked about the time Joseph waited in prison, and how we have some low points that seem to drag on and on. But God continued to lift him up and in the end, Joseph left the past behind and forgive his brothers. We have to leave the past behind to so that we can move on. Maybe that's what I have to do now. Just keep trusting that God is going to get me through this once and for all! Loved it so much.... here it is if you could use some encouragement.

But here is the song. I don't think a song has so perfectly fit how I was feeling before. (If you're reading this by e-mail you can click HERE to watch the video and listen to it. )
The Motions
By Matthew West
This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life
I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life
'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions)
take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)
take me all the way
I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way (I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)
take me all the way (through the motions)
take me all the way
I don't wanna go through the motions
