The Truth is Only Him

So I haven't been up to a whole lot this week. And this blog is probably going to be all over the place. Lots of random. Yay!

 

So this morning, was just lovely. I had the house to myself for a couple hours and spent some wonderful time with Jesus. It was recommended to me to read a few books of the Bible out loud. I chose Ephesians and... just wow. I'm not sure I have ever been so touched by scripture in one sitting. I cried through most of the book as I spoke the truth out loud. The love, grace, instruction, encouragement that I experienced, was just amazing and beautiful.

So I've been listening to Showbread as I write this(gosh they make me so happy :D) and the song that just came on is the title song, from their album Age of Reptiles. It's wonderful.

 

The world is full of ones like me, who need to see the truth
But the truth is never truth indeed, the truth is only you
The world will soon become extinct, the age will pass away
And all will know that you are God, hallowed be your name

 

Later they continue singing/screaming "the truth is only you", over and over again. They sing it with so much emotion and passion, all for God's truth. It is probably one of my favorite parts of a song. So lovely.

 

Anyway, it was just a wonderful time reading God's word. If you never read the Bible out loud, please do it. And don't just read it like most people do at church when asked to read a scripture(I too am guilty of this), reading through with no emotion. Read it slow, emphasizing certain things and let it get into your heart and mind. It will impact you.

 

After all this, there is a verse I'm really feeling today. Psalm 16:9 "Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices, my body also will rest secure." (I'm pretty sure the context of the body resting secure is in death, but I'm pretty sure God is not going to smite me for taking it another way and being thankful that for the first time in days, my body feels really good. Anxiety has been screwing with me.) Praise God!

 

Moving on to random things....

 

I wrote my last blog inside our tent that we put up in the back yard. This is the view I woke up to the next morning. It was quite lovely waking up outside underneath a tree.

Mom Dad and I worked on this at the church the other day. It's for a mini VBS they will be doing soon. Brought me back to all the times we used the old projectors and traced out the pictures in years past. Like in the gym at Florence Avenue. I specifically remember standing in the bathroom forever, cleaning out paintbrushes after we were done!!

 

And I thought this was a lovely little thing. My choir teacher from high school posted it on facebook and I thought I would save it. I don't know if I'll ever go into the arts as a profession, but I know it will always be a part of my life. Whether it is painting, going to or being in plays, singing, dancing, writing. I love it all.

This is all for now. Hanging with the bestie this afternoon, so perhaps I will have some pictures to share tonight! Woo! :)

Love.
