Surround me

Surround me, O Jesus
I need Your presence,
Filling me without thought, without reason
Each and every day.
I long for Your spirit to overwhelm me
Surround me, now
In Your presence is where I long to be,
 Living and breathing into me Your Will and Your Way.
Consume me with Your fire
Mold me into Your vessel of honor
Surround me with Peace, Comfort, and Joy
I want Your every promise to shine through me
I am Your child...use me for Your glory
Surround me, Strong Tower
Let Your wall of protection build up around me;
For the stones they throw are too sharp and their aim is too true.
Surround me, O Lord
I ask You...
Your Spirit is my Life,
Your Will is my Passion.

Hey! I haven't blogged in a month and I feel horrible about it! haha
My Life has been its typical whirlwind of School, Work, Church, Fam, Friends & LIFE!! With a side of stress this past month; but God is helping me through it. He is always right there surrounding me with His presence and keeping me sane. haha
I miss writing! The ideas and inspiration are all there but the time isn't. I have to keep my priorities straight, so basically I feel completely guilty if I am not studying or doing something for school.
I'm doing the Bible study for our Band/ Prayer meeting this Friday and the topic the Lord has given seems to be a repeat of what Bro. Scott (my pastor) has been preaching on this year. Yes, it does seem like there is a theme at my church this year. The end times, Jesus is coming back! The difference between the Kingdom of God and Church of God etc.
I am Proud, Privileged, & Honoured to a be part of the Church of God; His Bride. Which is what I am going to be talking about on Friday. I wanted to compare the traditions of something blue, new, old, borrowed etc. to the Bride of Jesus...but did I mention I don't have much spare time?? I will be talking about the Bride but from a different angle. This scene keeps rolling around and around in my head. A Martha and Mary kind of scene where Jesus is waiting outside the door and Martha is saying, "Just give me a second, Lord! I've gotta finish these dishes." or "I'll be right there...I'm almost done folding the laundry." I want to be like Mary. Ready to go. Watching and waiting for Jesus to come. I don't want to be overwhelmed by the cares of this life. I what my eyes on Jesus, knowing some day soon He is coming back to take me home.
