Surely We Can Change...

So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever.
2 Corinthians 4:16

Once again I'm watching Olympic beach volleyball and trying to get something posted to the blog. I've had a lot of stuff going in and through my head...I just haven't had time to really process it. News, ideas, possibilities, responsibilities...all of these things playing out around me and I feel like I haven't had time to digest. So...I'm once again watching volleyball when I should probably be sleeping.

I love the way Paul mentions this above..."not a day goes by without his unfolding grace." This is where I currently am. I'm trying to move forward but maintain at the same time. It doesn't work too well. It is a choice though. Should I just sit back and "accept" things, or should I pray...look to the Father...continue while resting within the fold of grace. I'm trying to stay focused...but I'm weary. I think I said that last night...in the last post. I think with tomorrow being a Friday and no actual responsibilities...as far as I know...to take care of on Saturday...a Sabbath awaits. I'm usually great about making sure I get "rest" but I don't know what has happened. That's how it goes though. I'm going to continue to push on...making the choice to look to God...stay focused...be a breath of fresh air...living a life that points to something bigger and better.

I'm reintroducing myself to the music of the DCB. I love it. The video above compliments so well what the song is saying. It's up to us. There is this issue of grace...but it's up to us to do something as a result.

Surely We Can Change
by David Crowder
And the problem is this
We were bought with a kiss
But the cheek still turned
Even when it wasn’t hit

And I don’t know
What to do with a love like that
And I don’t know
How to be a love like that

When all the love in the world
Is right here among us
And hatred too
And so we must choose
What our hands will do

Where there is pain
Let there be grace
Where there is suffering
Bring serenity
For those afraid
Help them be brave
Where there is misery
Bring expectancy
And surely we can change
Surely we can change
Something

And the problem it seems
Is with you and me
Not the Love who came
To repair everything

Where there is pain
Let us bring grace
Where there is suffering
Bring serenity
For those afraid
Let us be brave
Where there is misery
Let us bring them relief
And surely we can change
Surely we can change
Oh surely we can change
Something

Oh, the world’s about to change
The whole world’s about to change
