Today's post is going to be a short one. I know it's been a while since I've blogged but I've sort of been busy and doing lots of things so haven't had a huge amount of time.
Today I woke up and once I got down to work I started feeling a little tired and just not in the mood to do anything. Maybe it's having lots of work and repetitive weeks of work. Anyway I put some music on while I worked snuggled under my duvet (because it's still cold and miserable outside).
I was listening to 'Adoration' by Brenton Brown and he did a little speech before it (if you watch his videos on Youtube you'll notice he tends to do this :P) and what he said suddenly seemed to speak to me and so I wrote it in my 'quote doc' (quotes I print off for when I need inspiration).
“My encouragement if you’re waiting in line for God is – don’t change
lines. Don’t look for another way to receive what you need – God promises to be
everything we need and He’s faithful to his promises. We bow our hearts, we
lift our hands, we turn our eyes to you again and we surrender to the truth:
that all we need is found in You.”

This song is a wonderful song and it was exactly what I needed to hear today. Waiting in line for God - don't change lines. What he said seemed to relate to life and although there are lots of things to make me want to change lines, change my beliefs and stop 'waiting' for God, the times when I do change lines, my life is even more empty than before.
Here are the lyrics:
We bow our hearts we lift our hands
we turn our eyes to you againAnd we surrender to the truththat all we need is found in YouReceive our adorationJesus lamb of GodReceive our adorationhow wonderful you areWe choose to leave it all behindand turn our eyes towards the prizethe upward call of God in Christyou have our hearts Lord take our livesReceive our adoration Jesus lamb of GodReceive our adoration how wonderful you areEvery soul you´ve saved sings outeverything you´ve made resoundsall creation´s standing nowlifting up your nameWe´re we´re joining in the angel´s songwe´re gathered to your ancient thronechildren in our Father´s armsshouting out your praise
