It was also in this year 2007 where God brought me out from a state of spiritual stagnation and pumped out all the "clogged up" stuff within me. Thank God for the renewal and restoration of my mind and heart. God helped me be aware of what it means to be a witness and influencer in the places he has placed me and to be an overcomer to speak his goodness to whom he provides me the opportunity to.
Year 2007 was also a season where God began refining and molding me - showing me areas where he wants to bring about the change in my life. I think and feel that I have grown much as a person, a christian, an employee, a fren and a daughter.
Year 2008 will be the next phrase where God will begin to grant me the opportunities to apply the lessons he has taught me in 2007. Year 2008 will be a greater season of discomfort, challenges and greater shapening of my character. God has also reminded me many times to always go back to my source for strength, refreshment and renewal - To always remember to dwell in his presence and spend my precious moments with him :)
My IPOD is my constant companion as I travel to work. So when I heard this song - By Hear, By Soul by Avalon with Aaron Nevile. It is a love song but as I hear the lyrics, it blew my mind literally .... Cos it really touches me as the lyrics speaks of the deep desire how 2 people wanted to grow toward each other and have the relationship deepen. It speaks of the deep love and committment towards each other.
For me, I feel this is just like my love song to my Abba Father. It really spoke of my desire to really walk and live this one life for God - To continue growing and have that deepening relationship with my Lord and wanting to know him in a more intimate manner.
This song will be a strong reason and reminder for me as I begin the year 2008 :)
Verse 1:
If You were a road,
I'd learn every turn til I
Could find my way with my eyes closed
If You were a song,
I'd sing along til I
Knew every word and every note
But you were everything to me,
A mystery
Your the Love I live to see
Chorus:
By heart, by soul
That’s how I want to know You
Keep you as close as
Breath is to life
Wanna watch Your Love unfold
By heart, By soul
Verse 2:
If You were a place
I'd stay my whole life til I
Had every corner memorized
And if You were a star
I'f follow You home, You would be
The Light that is my only guide
You were everything to me
My A to Z
Your the Love that’s lives in me
Bridge:
I wanna know You inside and out
Better than I even know myself
If You were a star
I'd follow You home
By heart By soul
By Heart, By Soul - Avalon with Aaron Nevile
