This is a song that we sang in church today. This has been the anthem of my heart for some time now. We have had so many changes. There have been so many painful things. Life changing things. There have been days that I just want to lay on the ground and beg God to come today. I feel the fog lifting. I feel like we are going to make it. I feel hope again. Hopelessness is a very ugly place to be. When you can't breath because you just want the pain to stop.

Anyway, I hope the words from this song will give you hope. I can't wait until I'm free.

I took this picture a couple of years ago. There was a potter who came to church and talk about being clay. I've thought about that a lot. When the clay resists the potter it just can't be what he intends it to be. I'm trying to not resist. I'm trying to be moldable.

Free (Take My Life)

Take my life, make it clay

Shape this life in intricate ways

I want to be a child of faith

But what my heart wants most my body turns away

I push Your ways aside and wonder why I let pride decide every time

But I can't wait to be free

From this life of mindless sin that compromises me

I know one day I will be

There is a victory that You've won for me

And when You come back again

I'll be free

Turn my eyes to Your face

Let me draw from Your strength

And bathe in Your grace

Let me soar with wings to win this race

Let me have Your peace it's not a hopeless chase'

Cause I lose sight of all You have called me to be

And it takes so much to drop me to my knees

But I can't wait to be free

From this life of mindless sin that compromises me

I know one day I will be

There is a victory that You've won for me

And when You come back again

I'll be free

I know one day I will be

There is a victory that You've won for me

And when You come back again

I'll be free

Take my life, make it clay

Shape this life in intricate ways

I want to be a child of faith

But what my heart wants most my body turns away...

But I know one day I'll be free...
