I was working out tonight, and I haven't in a while, but it was sure good to get back to the gym... and I was thinking... ok... I'm by myself, I'm almost 40 years old, I don't have any kids, except my cat if you count him, I have a roof over my head (at the moment), food to eat, and a job that I love. Some of the songs I have on my iPhone to listen to while working out challenge me to think outside the box. I've been under the impression that I need to make someone feel special, that I am to be needed, wanted, loved... when in actuality, I am all of that... God loves me, hurts for me, lifts me up, needs me to spread His word, wants me to yearn for Him more... I need to concentrate on that instead of worrying how or why something will happen or happened to me.
When the song, "Arise" comes on... I love it. Chris Sligh does a great job with that song... and it's upbeat enough to workout to... So I am going to concentrate on that...
Stars go down in the western sky
The light fades in as the darkness dies
Sunlight, sweet sunlight
Brings the day that You’ve created
The light fades in as the darkness dies
Sunlight, sweet sunlight
Brings the day that You’ve created
Perfect remedy
For all that tears at me
For all that tears at me
Arise, arise with the morning
Arise, your mercies are new
Arise, arise with the morning
That finds me running back to you
Arise, your mercies are new
Arise, arise with the morning
That finds me running back to you
Darkness comes and covers all my faults
Tears fall down, sting my wounds like salt
Hopes fade, till I’m caught
In the day that you’ve created
Tears fall down, sting my wounds like salt
Hopes fade, till I’m caught
In the day that you’ve created
I’m anxiously waiting
Redemption is brimming
With stories created
Each new day
I know you are coming
