This is the PERFECT song for me right now. I've made lots of changes, or should say God is reworking my brain, recently. Our pastor went through a series on spiritual disciplines recently and I felt a light start to flicker inside that is slowly growing and growing. I honestly feel like I am just showing up in my life right now in a bigger way full of thoughts and desires for something different, good different, and more. Still haven't quite figured out what that is. Could be more of the same but with a totally different perspective on it or it could be just totally different. I guess time will tell but in the mean time I am trying to be ok with the 'who knows' of it all and just happy that I've showed up :)
Just Showed Up
Sara Groves
Moving my mouth but not saying a thing
Hoping the changes would take by working their way from the outside in
I was in love with an idea
Preoccupied with how a life should appear
Spending my time at the surface repairing the holes in the shiny veneer
There are so many ways to hide
There are so many ways not to feel
There are so many ways to deny what is real
And I just showed up for my own life
And I'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright
I'm going to live my life inspired
Look for the holy in the common place
Open the windows and feel all that's honest and real until I'm truly amazed
I'm going to feel all my emotions
I'm going to look you in the eyes
I'm going to listen and hear until it's finally clear and it changes our lives
There are so many ways to hide
There are so many ways not to feel
There are so many ways to deny what is real
And I just showed up for my own life
And I'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright
Oh the glory of God is man fully alive
Oh the glory of God is man fully alive
There are so many ways to hide
There are so many ways not to feel
There are so many ways to deny what is real
And I just showed up for my own life
And I'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright
love it...and love you :)
