Could I?

I like this song
Could I?Just as I am?With all my weaknesses?is it ok for me to just sit here a while?Just as I am?Will You accept me?Will allow me?Will You embrace me?Could I?
Yes.Not only will He accept you but He goes out to look for you, to embrace you

Could I - Kim McMechan (Vineyard music)

Could I just sit here a while, knowing that there’s nothing that I need to say
Safe in the knowledge that You know my ways, You love me completely, no need to hide a thing

Could I just sit here a while , letting You melt away all of my fears
I feel Your comfort when You are so near
I’ll hide myself in this shelter You’ve made for me

Could I... could I

Could I just kneel here a while, doing what I was created to do
Bowing in reverence, I long to adore You
Willingly giving all that I can surrender

Could I just rest here a while, letting You whisper my burdens away
In all my journeys there’s no other place, where I find refuge, strength for my weary heart

Dear Diary - Lisa McClendon

Dear diary
So often at times, what i know to be right i dont do, and what i know to be wrong i find myself in the mist of it...struggling.
"Confess your sins one to another?" Yeah i herd it but what would they say or think of me in my adversity.
My flesh wants to touch, it wants to go, it wants do... what it shouldnt, and i'm torn between two levels feeling like a fool. Lusting for the forbidden but i'm too ashamed to admit it.
Disire to please You in everything i do but... Man tells me that there's no hope for me if i mess up, but then Man tells me that You died for my mess ups...so which one is it?
Do You actually stop loving me if i fall, although my heart is towards You? do i stop loving my child if she messes up? No! i love her just the same, just as You love me. pure and unconditional. i understand consequences for my actions but i also understand perfect love, Your love. and even when You have to chastise my wrong to make me right

i miss my boyfriend,i'll call him bob.i'm laying here late at night,well early morning thinking about him.i miss his company,his big hands,his big mouth,his big personality.i was thinking about all these things i have to do tomorrow and i thought...i wish bob was here to take care of me and i'll feel much better.i know thats Gods place and sometimes thats where i get confused.its like i'm with him(bob) but i'm not.being married,thats the question.i was thinking and feeling and knowing that bob is taking care of me is like water,cleansing me and preparing me for my next day.him taking care of me,its like he's removing the stain or the load or stress,then i can handle the next thing.thats what God is like.He takes care of you and that cleanses you,takes away the burden and prepares you for life.i should let God hold me,i should wait until i feel His arms around me taking care of me,taking care of me.i need to be taken care of and that is and always will be Gods place.He knows how to hold me,weather its just a gentle hug or a tight im-not-letting-you-go hug.my heart is feeling ....?!?!?my mind thinks that its bob,he's the missing thing but its actually my heart is crying out to God
whatever is good and pleasing to God,this...think of
