Sweetly Broken, Sweetly Held~

Whether you are into New Year's

resolutions or not,

I think it's pretty normal

to examine the last year,

look at your accomplishments,

think about it with

a joyful heart or a huge sigh of relief

that it is over~(or both :)

I'm working ever so slowly on

my 2011 post....and hope to have it done
soon. Alot happened in '11
although the  year brought some strange relief and

huge burden lifted, it did not go by without

some scary, long days of the unknown.
Someone asked me what worship song would sum
up where I am right now..I would say this sums up the year!

Sweetly Broken

would sum up 2011 for
my heart,

my soul,

my marriage,

our family~

At the cross You beckon me

You draw me gently to my knees, and I am

Lost for words, so lost in love,

I'm sweetly broken, wholly surrendered

 "In the Last Days," God says,
"I will pour out my Spirit
on every kind of people:
Your sons will prophesy,
also your daughters;
Your young men will see visions,
your old men dream dreams.
When the time comes,
I'll pour out my Spirit
On those who serve me.....
         Before the Day of the Lord arrives,
the Day tremendous and marvelous;
And whoever calls out for help
to me, God, will be saved." 

Acts 2:17-21

Sweetly Broken

(Jeremy Riddle)

To the cross I look, to the cross I cling

Of its suffering I do drink

Of its work I do sing

For on it my Savior both bruised and crushed

Showed that God is love

And God is just

At the cross You beckon me

You draw me gently to my knees, and I am

Lost for words, so lost in love,

I'm sweetly broken, wholly surrendered

What a priceless gift, undeserved life

Have I been given

Through Christ crucified

You've called me out of death

You've called me into life

And I was under Your wrath

Now through the cross I'm reconciled

In awe of the cross I must confess

How wondrous Your redeeming love and

How great is Your faithfulness
