Who but you?

A friend went to see The Story concert last night...

She said it was "amazing".

She also said that this song came on and she prayed for me the whole time.

It is such a blessing, to know, that friends are filling in the gap. Pleading to the Lord on my behalf. Holding me up when I can't stand on my own. Very humbling honestly.

We talked last night, in our leadership fellowship group, about allowing people into your brokenness. That we aren't meant to be alone in our pain and struggle. Our pastor said yesterday, in the sermon, that one of the things that robs us from the wonder of this season, is our inability to allow people into our journey, and in turn, see the Lord work through our weakness. He boldly challenged us, that if we are feeling alone, it isn't because there is no one around, it is because WE are choosing to be alone.

I am so grateful for the people that the Lord has chosen to walk this journey with me. The close friends that pray, encourage, weep, challenge, and remind me of the truth.

I don't know when this time will end, but I do know that I am not alone.

And for that, I am in constant wonder of what the Lord is doing.

Who But You
Too little too late, his time has come and gone
Is that what they say when I walk by?
I’ve got a little more grey, my steps are slow and long
And the promise you’ve made fades in the moonlight


I see a star; You see the Milky Way
I see one man counting sand
But you see generations


Who, but You, would ever choose
To dream Your dream in me?
Tell me who, but You, would dare me to
Believe what I can’t see
Who, but You?


You’d think by now, it wouldn’t bother me
The hush from the crowd when I walk by
And you’d think somehow, I’d let my heart believe
It’s time to let go of lullabies


I see a star; You see a galaxy

There’s just one hope, just one way
These arms will not stay empty


Who, but You, would ever choose
To dream Your dream in me?
Tell me who, but You, would dare me to
Believe what I can’t see
Who, but You?


So call me crazy, call me a fool
You alone can do the things You promised to
You are Yahweh, I’m just a man
I’m counting tiny grains of sand
Placing every promise in Your hand


Who, but You, would ever choose
To dream Your dream in me?
Tell me who, but You, would dare me to
Believe what I can’t see
Who, but You? 


Great and mighty God, I believe, I believe You
Keeper of the stars, I believe, I believe You


Who, but the Lord, would dream HIS dream in me and challenge me to do the same?

Lord, help me to place every promise in YOUR hand.

Patiently Praying-

Much Love-
