I found a new song to love...
The Words I Would Say by Sidewalk Prophets
Three in the morning,
And I'm still awake
So I picked up a pen and a page
And I started writing
Just what I'd say
If we were face to face
I'd tell you just what you mean to me
Id tell you these simple truths
Be strong in the Lord and
Never give up hope
You're going to do great things
I already know
God's got His hand on you so
Don't live life in fear
Forgive and forget
But don't forget why you're here
Take you time and pray
These are the words I would say
Last time we spoke
You said you were hurting
And I felt your pain in my heart
I want to tell you
That I keep on praying
Love will find you are
I know 'cause I've already been there
So please hear these simple truths
Be strong in the Lord and
Never give up hope
You're going to do great things
I already know
God's got His hand on you so
Don't live life in fear
Forgive and forget
But don't forget why you're here
Take you time and pray
These are the words I would say
From one simple life to another
I will say
Come find peace in the Father
Be strong in the Lord and
Never give up hope
You're going to do great things
I already know
God's got His hand on you so
Don't live life in fear
Forgive and forget
But don't forget why you're here
Take you time and pray
These are the words I would say

People Are Like Turducken?!
It's surprising to me the thoughts that pop into my head simultaneously as a I think about other things that are going on in my life. All to often, I get a mash-up of thoughts and ideas and even revelations while in the shower (you know when it's all quiet except for the sound of the running water).
So here's what came out of today (laugh aloud if necessary, I won't know).
People are like turducken!
Turducken is a chicken, placed inside of a duck, place inside inside of a turkey, bound (so it doesn't fall apart), and then cooked all together. What you get is this three layer piece of tasty wonderment, so I hear.
(I hear the racing of your mind as you wonder where the heck this is going.)
Now, this is my point. I'm not saying that people need to be bound in threes and cooked together. God tells a sweet story about that though. What I am pulling from it is this...
People are three parts bound together to form one wonderful being. People are a spirit, wrapped with a soul, and placed inside a tangible body.
It hit me as I was analyzing some things that I'm seeing take place in the lives of people around me. When there is a lack of nourishment to the spirit our tangible, logical minds recognize the real and soulful hurt we are emotionally experiencing.
Often the common human tendency is to use our tangible, logical mind to treat the symptom of the soulful hurt without taking full account to diagnose the true problem of the starving spirit. We in our lack of knowledge try to fit all sorts of physical cures into our body to treat the emotional cries that overflow out of our souls. We use drugs, alcohol, false validations of relationships, and numerous other addictions to try and quiet these cries, when all the time it is our spirit that is pressing for us to turn to God wherein we can find all of the provisions our three-in-one person needs.
We are three entities all bound together into one unique and wonderful creation. Each portion requires its own things to be made healthy and vivacious, but we must not forget to take care of our spirit person for he is the part of us that reflects the heartbeat of God. If you are reading this today, and there is a longing, a symptom that is deep inside of you that has not been satisfied by any of your own means, I strongly encourage you to turn your sight to a new direction. I encourage to storm the throne of Heaven, demand the provision that your total body needs. God is my God, but He is your God. He knit your together in your mother's womb. He has a plan to prosper you and He laid it all out even before He laid the foundations of the Earth. He knows you intimately, right down to the number of hairs on your head. He is the great provider and the ultimate physician. He knows just the thing you need to find total peace, rest, healing, and restoration. Seek Him. Know Him. He is seeking you. He knows you.
