No more wishing wells... Jesus and I are about to make our dreams come true...

Sunday morning, Bro. Campbell preached a message about soul winning. About how if it's in our hearts, we'll be active in His service, and when we do that, the Lord will be in control and things will happen the way He wants them to.



And then I bought this Sara Groves cd and the first song fit what I was feeling perfectly!



Past the Wishing





I'm standing at the foot of this mountain

Wishing so bad that I could touch that sky

But in the time it takes to make my wish

I never take a step and I never try



I wish that I were closer to Jesus

But not enough to get me out of bed

For an early morning prayer before the

Rushes of my life take me instead



I'm past the wishing

Past the wishing

Past the wishing



I'm gazing in these deep well waters

Where the pennies of my life have all been cast

I'’ve decided I am going to save my money

To do something that lasts



You've shown me my man of Macedonia

You're calling me further on

And I'm tired of saying it's a nice idea

I wish it could be done



I don't wish that I could go I am going

I don't wish that I could be I am being

I don't wish that I could do it I am doing

By the grace of God I am doing






I WILL go and be and do. I have such lofty ideas and for all of my ideas and plans nothing happens. I'm past the wishing..... God has given me all I will ever need.



"The road of good intentions doesn't lead to anywhere.... Love isn't love 'til you give it away...."



Here's me.... offering up my mustard seed of faith. It's so small. But in His big hands.... there is possibility.
