My life recently has been super crazy. I believe I've reached a limit I never knew existed. But thankfully, by God's grace, I'm learning to say "no" and to not worry about things I can't control. I can't control the amount of school work I'm assigned, but I can control what I do with my time. And even more importantly, I can't control other peoples actions, but I can control my response. In the midst of all the craziness that seems to be my life right now, I am calmed by the sweet, sweet spirit of the Lord. If you're part of my twitter or facebook, I'm sure you've seen how much I LOVE Kari Jobe's lyrics. So here's another:

Father, I love your ways.

You came in your mercy and died in my place.

All I can do is bow.

Because of your goodness and your soverign Grace

that you sweep me away, sweep me away in your love

when nothing else matters.

God is all that matters! Everything else is rubbish. I once heard a pastor say that if something doesn't have eternal value, then it's eternally useless. And if I think about the real reason I was brought to life, literally "all I can do is bow!" No words necessary. I am swept away in God's love for me; his patience, kindness, grace, mercy, strength, sovereignty, and everything else that makes God's love so different than love that any person can show.
