Till I Only Dwell in Thee

“Hymn”- Brooke Fraser

If to distant lands I scatter
If I sail to farthest seas
Would you find and firm and gather ’til I only dwell in Thee?
If I flee from greenest pastures
Would you leave to look for me?
Forfeit glory to come after
‘Til I only dwell in Thee

If my heart has one ambition
If my soul one goal to seek
This my solitary vision ’til I only dwell in Thee
That I only dwell in Thee
‘Til I only dwell in Thee

Okay, so we all know I’m an emotional wreck 85% of the time. I’m sitting here staring at the screen feeling like I should be on my face praising my God. I have had the most insane summer of my life… and I feel like what is quickly turning into being the most insane year of my life. I am all over the place. My friend Aaron last night was explaining that I’m like a backwards triangle I need to flip my focus around. So true.

 God all I want to do is glorify You and I get so caught up in the how that I end up accomplishing nothing. Ugh… I’m so hard-headed and stubborn. In every area of life.  God, work through this messy brain. Focus me on You. On Your will. Root out any desires of mine that do not match up with Your will for my life. I love you.

11For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
