just dropping by to recommend another brooke fraser song (yea, I'm re-discovering Albertine)
Faithful - Brooke Fraser
There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave I wave my arms' round about me and blow with all my might I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here But the comfort of you near is what I long for
[CHORUS] When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every word I pray And i want you more than I want to live another day And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more faithful
All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone I still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right So I whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tounge, knowing you're the only one who knows me You know me
[BRIDGE] Show me how I should live this Show me where I should walk I count this world as loss to me You are all I want You are all I want
The reason I like this song's probably because she so succinctly puts into words something that I feel every now and then. That even though sometimes I'm not, He is faithful. Those times when you don't feel His presence, but you know He's there. Not because anything in your situation tells you that, but because you've tried and tested Him and found Him to be faithful beyond any measure we can put on Him.

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."
intro
There's so much about life that I don't know about yet, and there's so much that God
teaches me as I walk with Him everyday. This is where I record what I learn, my
reflections on His revelations. My hope is that through the words you read, you hear
His voice, not mine. And if it puts a smile on your face, that's an added bonus
