I want more love and power Lord! I want more of YOU in my life!

Just read or sing this over and over again and feel the depth of His sovereignty and His power and love! It just hit me so hard tonight when I was worshipping with some great people...how badly I want more of Him in my life. Not even like oh, just a little and only sometimes. It's like ALL THE TIME!! I want more of YOU in my life, God but I want more of it 24/7 nonstop-glory-in-my-life!! You are amazing, Lord, thank you for being in my life, you are so powerful!!!

More love, more power
More of You in my life
More love, more power
More of You in my life.

I will worship You with all of my heart
And I will worship You with all of my mind
And I will worship You with all of my strength
For you are my Lord
You are my Lord.

More faith, more passion
More of You in my life
More faith, more passion
More of You in my life

I will worship You with all of my heart
And I will worship You with all of my mind
And I will worship You with all of my strength
For you are my Lord
You are my Lord.

More love, more power
More of You in my life
More love, more power
More of You in my life.

I will worship You with all of my heart
And I will worship You with all of my mind
And I will worship You with all of my strength
For you are my Lord
You are my Lord.

I pray His blessings upon you today :)

I hope this touches you as it has touched me :]

DEAR GOD:
I want to thank You for what you have already done. I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears ; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; I am thanking you right now. I am thanking you because I am alive. I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties. I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles.
I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more
and do better.

I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.


I pray God's peace surrounds you today, believe that He loves you no matter what, Katelyn

So Sorry-by Feist

We don't need to say goodbye
We don't need to fight and cry
Oh we, we could hold each other tight
tonight

These lyrics have been stuck in my head all afternoon, it's really a beautiful song. Relaxing, soothing tune and everything :) Thing is, all I can think about when I listen to it is one guy. I know, I know, don't tell me about it, boys shmoys. It's just kinda lame, and yet mezmerizing, that after all this time, when I think of him, there is still this paralyzed image of him...and I can't be mad at him. I can't think negatively of him. All I think of is the way he used to grab my hand because he loved to hold it, the way he use to kiss my eyes, the little gaze he gave me that says, well, okay it said lots of things lots of different times and it's too much to try and type :) It's just so weird, why does my heart still have this tinge of desire when I think of his face? All I can think of or ever choose to dwell on is the old, amazing 'him' that I once knew. I can only imaginatively 'gaze upon' the good things of 'him'. Considering this as just a good ol' quality that everyone should have; only seeing the good in others, is an incomplete and untrue thought. It would only be labeled as an excuse, and I know if I chose to don it my own, it would only be that. A flittering, decaying, hopeless idea of what really isn't going on. Now, just because I am saying this, acknowledging what I should not do, doesn't mean I do know what to do. But that's the beauty of God being in control :) I don't have a clue, so I let it go. I let it fall through the wind like pollen falling from a flower, gently landing on the soggy, green grass. Until a bird or a little bug comes along and picks it up. Makes sense of the whole thing, defines it. Gives it a purpose, and tells tales of lessons learned from the little dust of pollen. :) God is my little bird, he will make sense of my silly thoughts. He will define my baby heart aches and give them a reason for being. I only call them 'baby' heart aches because...I'm sure a more numerous and brutal pile will accumilate throughout my life. While this one, little pollen baby, somewhat dissapears. And what I will have left of it is the peace of knowing I got through it, I'm alive, and I'm happy. :)

Carry me Jesus
Carry me through
Oh, Jesus, rinse me
Rinse me full through

I don't at all know
I'm questioning what
I do and don't know

Whether or not
You give me a clue
Whether or not
You say that it's true

I'll always love you
I will stay true
I'll always love you
You hold me right through

My issues will fall
they will fall like the dew

Jesus, You love me
I know that You do :]
