Restoration

Please checkout this song on You Tube.
It was written by Clay Edwards and sung by David Brymer (and Misty Edwards).


There is a gathering called "The Garage" in the area that meets every friday night.
It's a group of people that come together from all sorts of backgrounds and churches.
It's a fairly small number usually... but what God does in those meetings is nothing small.
I've only gone a handful of times so far (my 'new' job has kept me from going a lot because I've had to work a lot of friday nights)... but one thing for sure, God moves there.
Last night the worship leader (which changes every week... and I may be able to play sometime soon) led this song "Restoration." I had never heard it before.


As we sang, I felt so much power in this song.
Some songs have that strength to them. During worship, God can really do a lot in us.. if we let Him.
So I just wanted to share this incredible song. Please listen to it and make it your prayer.


Because God does restore us.

Living intentionally

Cool Hand Luke is a pretty great band.

Definitely worth checking out.

Their lyrics have a lot of depth.

It's refreshing and challenging.

Recently, I rediscovered how much I enjoyed them.

I was making a mix cd for my friend Emily.. and couldn't help but remember the time I saw them in concert in Lincoln, IL.

I remember the singer sharing this scripture verse and it just really impacted me.

I was going to ISU at the time and used this verse as a backbone for the worship team I led the next year.

"I said to the Lord, 'You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.'"

- Psalm 16:2

Whenever I hear a song of theirs, I can't help but be reminded of this verse.

Music has that great attribute.

It brings back a memory a lot of the time. :)

When God is really the only thing good to us, we can't help but desire to be filled with more of Him.

It's pretty basic.

And yet... so many times... we forget that truth, or we get distracted.

We begin to focus on others or ourselves.

I feel like God is doing so much in my life.... and I can't help but be excited.

I'm living intentionally.

Again.
