I always find it interesting when writing up my blog posts how people react. And I truly appreciate receiving feedback. Mostly, writing is an outlet to put down thoughts, learning experiences and hopefully encouragement.

Since Easter this year, when I was able to stop for a week or so and reflect on life after being unwell for a short period of time, I spent time with the Lord. I admit, I find it easy to become a 'human doing', you know, doing this and that, keep routine and slogging through each day. You can only maintain this for a time before you become disgruntled, upset, easily offended and easily manipulated by others opinions.
Easter was a timely reminder that God made me (and you!) a human 'being'. We are the most amazing part of His creation - made in His likeness. He chooses human beings to have a relationship with. Throughout Easter, I was challenged to deal with "what's beneath the water line". This process once begun has brought much to light in my life. And you what? I thank God that this process is happening. For the first time in a very long time, the re-connection with God is closer, and it wasn't Him who disconnected. In my 'busyness' to serve Him, I was so busy 'doing' that I had been disconnecting from Him. Like Dan Bremnes wrote in his song, "Beautiful" - Lord You know You've opened my eyes, Shown me things that I can't see on my own....And You, Changed me from what I used to be, Opened my eyes, now I can see, You're making this life so beautiful...So beautiful...
Lord I want everything
Everything You've got for me
I won't be satisfied until I find the center of Your heart
Lord You know You've opened my eyes
Shown me things that I can't see on my own
You call me justified
Free to find everything you are
[Chorus]
And You
Changed me from what I used to be
Opened my eyes, now I can see
You're making this life so beautiful
So beautiful
Lord I give You everything
Anything You want from me
Take my past and my future
I lay it at Your feet
Yeah
I'm after Your heart
You've stolen mine
I give You my all cause You gave up Your life
I'm not who I was
Simply because
Oh, You set me free
