Sometimes there's need for change.
I know... I'm saying that.
Me.
Is that even possible? :)
This post isn't referring to a shift that is always visible, tangible, readily grasped by even my own mind -- but He is changing me.
Has changed me.
I pray will continue to change me.
Will continue to change each of us.
It's not just about "Serving my Father in Heaven," but about the journey through which we learn what it truly means to be a servant; a servant to a loving Master here on this earth. A journey that can't be undertaken, trodden upon, or continued without Faith.
And I am humbled that this Faith is only made possible through His Spirit -- because on my own, I cannot understand, comprehend, even faintly grasp His majesty, His mercy, His awesome grace, His Holiness... and I am lost in seeking His face.
But His Spirit guides these battered, twisted, pain-filled bodies to communion with HIM.
By Faith.
So this post is praise -- praise for His ability to change, to work, to break even the most stubborn -- persistent?!? -- objects, and show His perfect will.
Thank You, Lord... thank You, my Savior.
For being my Strength when I am weak.
For knowing my thoughts before I can even speak.
Help Thou my unbelief.
And with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength... teach me to love.
And to love passionately.
To praise passionately.
To live passionately -- for You.
So... this blog title has changed to "Walking by Faith."
An eternal journey.
A constant Companion.
A journey of praise.
We praise You, Father, Comforter, Friend, Almighty God...
that even these names will never capture all You are, have been, and will always Be.
You spread out the skies over empty space
Said, let there be light
To a dark and formless world
Your light was born
You spread out your arms over empty hearts
Said, let there be light
To a dark and hopeless world
Your son was born
You made the world and saw that it was good
You sent your only son, for you are good
What a wonderful maker
What a wonderful savior
How majestic your whispers
And how humble your love
With a strength like no other
And the heart of a father
How majestic your whispers
What a wonderful God
No eye has fully seen
how beautiful the cross
And we have only heard
the faintest whispers
Of how great you are
You made the world and saw that it was good
You sent your only son, for you are good
What a wonderful maker
What a wonderful savior
How majestic your whispers
And how humble your love
With a strength like no other
And the heart of a father
How majestic your whispers
What a wonderful God
"Wonderful Maker" - as performed by Jeremy Camp
What a wonderful, amazing God.
And You are worthy of our praise.

Stephanie,
Thanks for this post. A lot of your comments really hit home to me as these are things I am learning right now as well. It is very humbling at times to be broken by God, but later, the blessings and lessons learned are so worth it. Thanks for the encouragement. Continued prayers are with you all.
