Random Things

We made it to Vicksburg, MS! Hip hip hooray!! We got a bit of a late start which I am sure comes to no surprise....we pulled up to our motel just after 11:00pm so it was only about an hour later than I had planned - not too bad!

The kids watched a few movies and I listened to the radio until I could find no more Christian stations and then I popped in my Matthew West CD. Awesome! This song stuck out to me tonight so I thought I'd put the lyrics here for you.

The Moment Of Truth

You got your hand on the door
And you're ready just to walk out
Well, the fight that you had filled your mind up with all this doubt
And you're losing your mind and losing your faith
And you can't remember why you fell in love in the first place

Go back, go back to the moment of truth
When she walked down the aisle
And you first said, "I do"
When this life makes you wonder what have you got to lose
Go back, go back to the moment of truth

You got your hand on a habit
And you can't seem to let it go
It used to be your escape now it's out of control
And now it's you in the mirror
But you don't recognize your face
And you're looking for a reason not to throw it all away

Just go back, go back
To the moment of truth
With three words, "it's a girl"
And she looks just like you
When this life makes you wonder what have you got to lose

Go back, just go back to the moment of truth
You got your hand on the Bible
But your heart feels like stone
Cause you think that you've made too many mistakes to come home
And you're losing your will
And you're losing your faith
And now you wonder if you even believed in the first place

Just go back to the moment of truth
When you first talked to Jesus
And He reached out for you
He's still reaching, He's still reaching out for you
So when this life makes you wonder what have you got to lose
Just go back, just go back
To the moment of truth

The last section really spoke to me tonight...I know I felt this way just recently. For me it wasn't the Bible that my hand was on, but even the simplicity of listening to Christian music was painful because I felt like I had just walked so far away that there was NO way Jesus would take me back and I was ashamed - I felt guilty listening to songs that praise His name. But you know what? He welcomed me back with open arms!! And I am praying and listening more now than ever before. I know He has great plans for me and I am excited about those plans!

We will be heading out in the morning for Texas! Yippee! The kids are so excited to see daddy :)
