In the beginning...

Everything must have a beginning and this is the beginning of my blog.  The inspiration for this blog was given to me 11 years ago. I awoke that morning with a song in my head. I was a person obsessed. The lyrics spoke to me deeply. I had to get them down on paper. I will share them here with you.  This song was a gift to me from God. I am happy to share it with you, but please honor the copyright.

I left the world outside for you. All of its sorrow and its shame. You know you bring me such joy. My life will never be the same.

I left the world outside for you. All of its burdens and its pain. You know my life revolves around you. My life will never be the same. No, I will never be the same because

You are my sunshine and my rain. Oh, you've become my purpose and my pain, but I know it can never stay this way because

I left the world outside for you. And He's brought me back to it again. All of its misery and joys. All of its happiness and friends. Yes,

I left the world outside for you and He has made me see the light. He has shown me the truth. It is not you that gives me life. Yes, it is He that gives me life.

He brings my sunshine and my rain. Oh, He has a purpose for my pain and I know He will always stay the same because He came into the world for me. Took on its sorow and its shame. You know He brings me such joy. My life will never be the same.

He came into the world for you. Embraced its burdens and its pain. His death can give new life to you and your life will never be the same because He brings the sunshine and the rain. Oh, He has a purpose for your pain and I know He will always stay the same oh.

I would love to know what creative outlet God has uniquely designed you to pursue. If you don't now yet, don't give up looking for it, He is a creativce God and you are created in His image. You are creative too in some way... you just need to look for the right outlet. :)

Father,

Thank you for sharing Yourself with us as You created each us in our mother's wombs. We are each made in Your image! Wow! Help me to live up to that legacy. That when people interact with me they will get a glimpse of my Father and recognize the You in me.
