Pause

Autumn has given me pause. I pause to examine the beauty.

I pause to examine our lives. Wow, there is so much to pause and soak in. I want to grow from all these changes and let God do amazing things with all of us.

I want to pause and give God my life to do what He will with it.
I want us to all pause and plan and hope and grow.

We've all been letting our hearts yearn and yearn for amazing dreams and bright futures and things that we think are wonderful.

Yearn.
Let's pause together.
Now is the time to pause. Stop yearning, and start learning.

We've had our time. Now we can pause to see what His plans are. We can pause to examine our hearts and ensure that everything that's going to happen, from the expected to the bolts of blue, will be responded to by us in a pleasing way to God.

God has given this song to me, and I gift it to you.

To you, beautiful dreamer who has the moon on a rope. All your dreams are unfathomable to me, but I'm not going to miss a second of this amazing story God is writing with your life. Pray for a patient and content heart, for God's plans for you are unbelievable, but all in His time.

For you, beautiful lady in the water who has everything she's wished for in His time. You are so much stronger than you know. Pray for an earnest heart so that every wish you have is fulfilled for His glory.

For you, wonderfully strong woman who is queen of the world. Of at least 5 worlds. You mean more to more people so much more than you can imagine. God is playing out many stories for you to watch and root for, with your king. Pray for a strong happy heart, for you have so much to be happy for.

And you, all the people who have such beautifully intricate stories entwined with joy and struggles who are just trying to stay strong holding on for the dark times to pass.

I love you all so much.





Lyrics:

Pause a moment, close your eyes
Take a breath and feel the time
 Fall comes on and all is hazy
Insides stir, life gets crazy

Step outside, smell the air
Climb a tree and loose your hair
 All is vivid, makes me yearn
For the things I need to learn

Help me grow this season, Lord
Let me soak in Your Word
Help me grow this season, Lord
Let me soak in Your Word

Tell me things will be okay
This is what I need today
Tell me things will be alright
When we make it through this night

I didn't need to hear you say it
All I needed was to pray it
Because I hear it every time
I look into the painted sky

Help me grow this season, Lord
Let me soak in Your Word
Help me grow this season, Lord
Let me soak in Your Word

  1. I'm so very pleased that you turn to the Lord in times that are baffling. Like reading and discernment, this is a vital skill. Sometimes though, it's so hard to just shut my own inner voice off to rest and wait on Him.
