I was sitting in Church on Sunday, thinking back over the past year of my life. The only word I could utter was 'WOW'.... SO much has happened, so much has changed! We were having communion and Pastor Brian was prompting us to reflect on all of 2009. I sat there, and I couldn't help but ball my eyes out. My heart cried out to the Lord, expressing everthing that just seemed to jumble through my mind at that moment... Hurt, pain, laughter, forgiveness, anger, lonliness, excitement, contentment, awareness, peace, spiritual hunger, longing, separation, depression, joy, sorrow - it was all there, everything I'd felt this last year, and it was flooding over me, and I knew I couldn't bear it alone. I've been trying to give it over to the Lord, but I think I also keep fighting myself and taking it back. But this year, I resolve not to take back these thoughts and feelings, but to give them straight to Jesus, who IS the GREAT I AM! HE is my hope, HE is my husband, HE is my best friend, my strength, my joy, my comfort... Then we sang the most perfect song. A song that blessed me beyond measure... I cried even harder, but not out of despair, out of hope that God had great things in store for me. All I have to do is make HIM my everything...
'Be My Everything'
by Tim Hughes
God in my living
There in my breathing
God in my waking
God in my sleeping
God in my resting
There in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
God in my hoping
There in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting
God in my laughing
There in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing
Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything
Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
Be my everything

I challenge anyone who might read this, to make Christ your everything. He is the only one that can strengthen our resolve, and make us happy... HE loves us more than any one person ever could. He has sacrificed more, and hurt more than we could ever imagine... He knows where we've been, and He knows where we're going... So as I sit here, writing this, I am determined to make 2010 a year of healing - emotional, spiritual, physical...
'Thank You, God, for your never ending love and mercy. Thank you for understanding what I'm going through, and for never forsaking me. Thank you for the friends and family You have strategically placed in my life. I want this year to be 100% devoted to You and the perfect plans You have in store for me. I want you to be my everything, and heal my broken heart... Love, Beth"
