Do you have one of those songs that, when you listen to it, an overwhelming peace comes over you?
Maybe you're like me and have a few.
One that never fails is
"Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" by Chris Tomlin.
I'm relaxed just thinking about it. It's a song that soothes the soul
and makes you feel at one with God.

At ASP, Jerrilyn and I were talking about those seasons in our walk with God when you feel like you've lost your passion and zeal.
It seems to happen all to frequent for me.
But this is what I think:
It's not about raising your hands in church or reading your Bible everyday.
It's about that connection between you and God. Only you can judge that.
People have no authority to convict you. Only the Holy Spirit does.
Just pray. Even if some are only "Thank you, God" or "Help me, Lord"
HE GETS IT!!
Sometimes no words are required - just a humble heart.
Sometimes I just sit there, with my eyes closed, earbuds in, and tune out the rest of the world.
I focus on who He is and what He's done for me.
No hands are raised, no words are sung. Just me and God.
That is when I feel closest to Him.
I'm at peace.
I know that it isn't hard to get lost in Jesus.
And what a sweet Jesus He is!!

Wow. Your words never cease to amaze me. Girl, you have such a good head on your shoulders and you should be very proud of the young woman you are! Geez, I'm younger than you but hey, who cares? "Kid, you'll move mountains!!!"
