So much going on, it gets hard to breathe
When all my faith has gone,
When all my faith has gone,
you bring it back to me
You make it real for me
When I'm not sure of my priorities
When I've lost sight of where I'm meant to be
Like holy water washing over me
When I've lost sight of where I'm meant to be
Like holy water washing over me
You make it real for me
And I'm running to you, baby Jesus
You are the only one who saves me
That's why I've been missing You lately
Cause you make it real for me
You are the only one who saves me
That's why I've been missing You lately
Cause you make it real for me
When my head is strong but my heart is weak
I'm full of arrogance and uncertainty
When I can't find the words
You teach my heart to speak
You make it real for me, yeah
I'm full of arrogance and uncertainty
When I can't find the words
You teach my heart to speak
You make it real for me, yeah
And I'm running to you, baby Jesus
You are the only one who saves me
That's why I've been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me
You are the only one who saves me
That's why I've been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me
Everybody's talking in words I don't understand
You got to be the only one who knows just who I am
You're shining in the distance, I hope I can make it through
'Cause the only place that I want to be
Is right back home with You
You got to be the only one who knows just who I am
You're shining in the distance, I hope I can make it through
'Cause the only place that I want to be
Is right back home with You
I guess there's so much more I have to learn
But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn
You always give me somewhere, somewhere I can run
You make it real for me
But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn
You always give me somewhere, somewhere I can run
You make it real for me
And I'm running to you, baby Jesus
You are the only one who saves me
That's why I've been missing you lately
'Cause you make it real for me
Yes, you do, you make it real for me
{James Morrison - You Make It Real}You are the only one who saves me
That's why I've been missing you lately
'Cause you make it real for me
Yes, you do, you make it real for me

“He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Blessed is the man who always fears the LORD, but he who hardens his heart
falls into trouble.” (Proverbs 28:13-14)
My phone froze today (9/3/13) ... which made me aware of the condition of my heart... stone cold. frozen. I have been really rebellious this summer. Not listening to God. Not resting in Him. Not listening to my heart. Making me the lovely mess I am. God told me to follow my heart but it's hard to follow a heart that's been hardened. Hardened by mentalities of the past: everything I tried failed so why should I try again and I know (based on the past) that it will fail. It's hard to put my heart out there again even though I want to and plan to, it's easier to stay hidden behind defensive walls. But when I do hide I ache or I'm numbed into a depression which is worse because it immobilizes me. And I'm like: ♫ Sound the bugle now... play it just for me. As the seasons change... remember how I used to be. Now I can't go on...I can't even start. I've got nothing left... just an empty heart. I'm a soldier... wounded so I must give up the fight.There's nothing more for me... lead me away Or leave me lying here. ♫
♫ Then from on high, somewhere in the distance.There's a voice that calls, "Remember who you are... if you lose yourself, Your courage soon will follow, So be strong tonight... remember who you are" Yeah, your a soldier now,Fighting in a battle,To be free once more. Yeah, that's worth fighting for! ♫
"Cast away from you all your transgressions which you have committed and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! For why will you die, O house of Israel? "For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies," declares the Lord GOD. "Therefore, repent and live." (Ezekiel 18:31-32)
