Here’s the thing

You may have noticed that I haven’t blogged very much lately. At all, really. for a long time actually. Life’s been CRAZY. See that? Its an all-caps kind of crazy life. Lots of learning and growing around here.

Wanna know something? I’ve missed writing words down to share. Not that I have a corner on the market with words to share that everyone needs to read – nope, not at all really. But, sometimes it feels good to tell somebody the things. I feel better when I tell the things.

You might be wondering what things.

I’d like to tell you about a song I’ve been listening to a lot. Its by Housefires. I hadn’t ever heard of them until a few weeks ago. I’m not sure I can even share a link to their music here, but I’ll try at the bottom.

The specific song I’m talking about is called “Jesus, What a Savior”. It is super simple; the words warm and soften my heart into a gooey mess (am I allowed to compare my heart to a hot-n-fresh chocolate chip cookie?) and I feel it all the way down to my toes.

I know when the Holy Spirit is meeting me in a song because He sings it in my ear on repeat and I CAN’T GET OVER IT. This one in particular moves me towards hope. Towards peace. That’s what happens with this song.

Titus 3:4-7. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,  whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,  so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Is there any love that is better than that?!?

I’m not sure why I’m so surprised when a song reminds me of Scripture and it moves me. But its absolutely refreshing and completely exciting to know the Holy Spirit is moving in my heart! That He is moving towards me…

The song is “Jesus What a Savior”…

So here’s the thing – He’s always using something, just like he promised, whispering truth to my heart. There is no love like His. This time, I’m really hearing it. And its way better than a fresh chocolate chip cookie.
