Wow-ful Women Wednesdays

Look at me blogging two days in a row...

Alright. So there are lots of tangents off of today's video and I'll try to keep them all nicely wrapped up and tied with a bow so as to not make this long and messy.

This is Sara Groves. The song was used in a movie called "The Ultimate Gift" which are the clips in the video. You really really really should go rent it. Really really. I loved it even before I knew this song was in the final credit piece. Really really. And when you do, invite me over to watch it with you so we can sit and eat snack and cry a little together.

Okay, next tangent. Our pastor is doing a series called The Real Jesus and I have been walking away from each of these messages feeling like I am standing in a door way about to break through some invisible barrier into a great vast unknown. THe Lord has been challenging me (daring me?) to "Come Out" in certain areas and certain ways and I've been essentially ignoring Him. (how noble and godly of me). However, it is getting harder to do in the face of a 6 month sermon series and a life of circumstances that are calling me to step up and come out already.

So I pray that this something that is changing inside of me will be real and lasting. And that I will see that the healing will be worth fighting for and resting in. In the deepest part.



Something changed inside me broke wide open all spilled out
Till I had no doubt that something changed

Never would have believed it till I felt it in my own heart
In the deepest part the healing came

And I cannot make it
And I cannot fake it
And I can't afford it
But it's mine

Something so amazing in a heart so dark and dim
When a wall falls down and the light comes in

And I cannot make it
And I cannot fake it
And I can't afford it
But it's mine

Sounds like a good series is going on there. We must get down to West London again sometime....
