Why would we want to see through these eyes,
when we could see through these?
I had the awesome pleasure Tuesday nite of spending time with Tori, Jordan, Sandra ( the other German exchange student), Ashlyn and many more cool people, at the "Delirious" worship concert. We had a great time and to say the least, it was such a powerful nite of worship and a time to refocus our attentions on our Saviour. I was really feeling that I hadn't spent enough time with my God and really needed this nite.
But one song really spoke to me and I cannot get these words out of my mind...it was a song that Vicky Beechum wrote and sang... and the last lyrics said "Lord never let me look away". And I really began to meditate and think about just how many times I look away. OH It's never intentional, you know... just busy schedules and just plain doin' life. Heck you can evern be busy doing all church stuff and be looking away. And I thought what a great place for the devil to get a foothold on us... and force us to "look away" and not even realize it. I had a rough week last week and thru this song, I quickly realized that I had indeed looked away. If even for a moment, it seems you can just feel that instant pull into unchartered waters. WHY??? Why would we leave such peace and serenity when we can rest in him?

God let me take off the blinders and not have tunnel vision. The bible says that I was blind and now I see. I want to always see YOU what you have for me .I pray that I never look away from your beauty. Why would I ever look away from such peace and splendor?

I happened upon your site and I must say, what a beautiful spirit you are. Those words, "Lord never let me look away" never meant more than they do in these days. Your blog is great, keep it up!
Mrs. Paula,
you know I have love for you and your family! That's a great post! 'Cause that really is the Truth, and so many people are walking in that tunnel. Keep up the good work! :]
awesome post! it's so true! So many times we look away without realizing it, and before we know it, it feels like we are completely drained!
