.personal note: seasons.

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
And weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and he is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on his promise I'll stand

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and he is here

And this is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I received I will sow

This weekend when I was out running this song come on my ipod- I LOVE IT! I listened to it several times over and over as I run... I feel like we are in a weird season of life right now- we are in the midst of packing up our lives and moving to plant a church in about 3 months... while we are preparing for this upcoming move, we are still here and there are still things left to be done... we desire to finish well and be prepared when the time comes for the move! So its been crazy finding the balance in all of this. I am so thankful for the reminder in this song that no matter the season of life we are in that we can still rejoice and have reason to sing because He is still God! I am thankful that through the craziness of life right now that the Lord is still at work in my life and using this time to continue to form and shape me. I pray that as we finish up things here in the next several months that we would do it well and that we would not miss the opportunities that the Lord gives us here!
