Part of my Lenten promise has to do with music which is why so many of my posts have had song lyrics attached. I am in awe of how God led me to this Lenten promise, and has really spoken to me through these last few weeks.
Anyways, I was singing a worship song in my head when I woke up this morning. I got into my car, turned on my music, and the same song was playing through my CD player. I think that God was trying to speak to me about direction this morning. The song is called Running; here are some of the lyrics:
I am running, running after you.
You've become my soul's delight.
I am running, running after you.
Here with you I find my life.
One thing I have desired, this will I seek after
to dwell in your house forevermore.
Now, I'm running after, the things that really matter.
You've become my joy and song.
I was reminded of some specific times in my life when my soul has been so fervently running to my God and living with one sole purpose. As these memories were unveiled, I thought also about the commitment that I am going to make to the man I Love in just a little more than two months. While I might run down the aisle to my future husband on my wedding day, I know that what I am really running towards is a man who helps direct and strengthen my soul. So many of my memories this morning were of times when he has witnessed for me his faith and trust in God. I am so thankful to have been blessed with a man who will constantly challenge me to look carefully at where I am running.
