Bless Each Breath

I am finally doing what I didn't think I would.

I am blogging.

As I wracked my brains for a suitable title, something catchy, something clever, then suddenly it occured to me.  The perfect title that encompasses so much.  This is a place for me to breath, to be honest, to vent and express the moments that I am living in.

Bless Each Breath.  This is actually the title of a song I wrote.  The chorus is, "Bless each breath.  Bless each breath.  Bless each breath.  Bless the dance of this life."  This is part prayer, part desire and part conversation.  Oh God, bless me because I need so much and fall so short of everything I hope for.  I'm so tired of trying to be everything I'm supposed to be.  So, I'm giving it up, all up to You.  As Michael Card expresses in his book, "A Better Freedom", true freedom is in submission.  The things that we tend to look at as weakness are where true strength lies.  The things that I view as my worst faults - feeling things so deeply, taking things personally, crying easily -  are really my strengths.

Breath in. Breath out. Breath in. Breath out.....

Bless me.
