"It's this air I breathe"

A blog world friend of my Aaron Ivey posted a cool blog with lyrics from a song he wrote. It was great to see music in type because the poetry really comes accross. Some of you know that I write songs from time to time, and have even probably listened to a couple on my random postings through the site, but I thought I would write down some lyrics that are from one of my newer songs....

It's this air I breathe
But I don't even say thanks
Or it's her lips you made
For only my lips to taste

It's this cold outside
That lets me know I'm alive
Or it's this starry night
and my sweet baby's cry

Pre-Chorus:
For there is hope in all of this I think
Where bright light shines through everything

Chorus:
For this is good
Where I am
It's why I was made
To be here where I stand
Right here with you
under painted sky
My dreams aren't this good
This is why, I'm alive

It's these leaves that fall
Bright orange like your sun
Or it's the smell of her neck
Where my kiss comes to rest

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

The End :)
Anyway, I've just been reminded so MUCH lately of God's involvement in my life's entirety. Not just the big things that I'd typically lean on, but every facet of my life...easy, hard, fun, sad, simple, difficult, real...He is there, and more than that, He wants me to know Him in all of those moments and to lean on Him in them. Easier said than done...especially in the simple times where things flow in the direction my life is pointed. It's so much easier to lean on God in the hard times, but I'm seeing more and more that God will truly bless me if I take notice and praise Him in the everyday.

Showin up in the everyday

I've started reading a new devotional, which is exciting for multiple reasons:
1) I actually picked up a book, sat down and started reading it
2) I like it (The Message:Remix//SOLO)
3) did I mention I picked up a book, sat down and started reading it?

You see, I'm not A.D.D. but I just always am on the move. Especially lately, with photography taking up my free time, I find myself constantly making excuses for taking time to be quiet and listen to God, because I simply just don't have enough time in the day to get it all done. I've been praying for a 29-hour day, or an 8 day week, but that prayer hasn't been answered yet. ;)

But what I'm digging about this book is that it's such a quick read each day. Just a couple minutes really let me find a simple truth to apply to my life. Right now, God's just been hammering home that HE is relevant at all times, everywhere, and in whatever I do. My tendency is to lean on God when I'm in need, and then to try and stand up straight once I find myslef on Easy St., but there has just been so many times in the last week when I've seen just how ridiculous that line of thinking is. My prayer for this book is that it will just continue to reveal this truth to me so that I might get my head out of my mental clouds and see God more clearly in my everyday.
