This Is Love....

Seriously Lindsey?!
Did you really think you'd have time EVERYDAY to post a blog. I was WAY to ambitious.
So reality check. We're gonna go with something REALISTIC Lindsey. Same concept but once a
week. Hopefully on Tuesday mornings (my morning off). So here's to Tuesdays and hoping I can
stick with this!

Being on staff has it's perks. One of the biggest being that once a week we are REQUIRED to spend a day with the Lord. WHAT?!?! Yeah I am blessed. Thought I'd share a little of my day and what God was sweet to show me. Really just the biggest thing. It usually happens at Remedy coffee (see previous post of my love for this place). So I journaled 10 pages today. I won't bore you with everything in it. But in short here's what I learned....

What I learned (or relearned) was simple.... it was the Gospel.
I was overwhelmed by my sinfulness and even moreso overwhelmed by God's love for me.... in spite of me.
It was hard at moments as the Spirit revealed the grossness of my heart, but refreshing to see with new eyes the Lord's fierce pursuit and desire for me, His Child.

Below is a song that "just happened" (I totally don't believe that) to play on my ipod in the midst of journaling. It's by Tifah called "This is Love". It's hauntingly beautiful.... and it's love.

Morning comes and I have spent

Every decent thing I am
Pockets empty
Now it’s You and me

I’ve been foolish, rash, unruly
Taking pride in all I have
Taken from you
Now it’s You and me


This is Love
When I give my heart to everyone but You


This is Love
When I have turned my back away from You


This is Love
When I have left you for the selfish things I do


This is Love
That you would still love me, in spite of me


Seconds pass and I think back
To every time that I have said
I am sorry
Now it’s You and me


So can I say these words again
Even with the things I’ve done
I broke your heart
Now it’s You and me


Morning comes and I think back
To every time that I’ve said
I am sorry
