A Good Reminder

This week I've been running through checklists of things that need to be done before I leave. Moving lists, school lists, medical lists, Tanzania lists....I've been busy with all the 'little' things and getting stressed! Then today in the car, a Keith Green song began to play. The rich words sank deep within me and my heart began to cry out its very words:


"Make my life a prayer to you 
I wanna do what you want me to 
No empty words and no white lies 
No token prayers no compromise 

I want to shine the light you gave 
Thru your Son you sent to save us 
From ourselves and our despair 
It comforts me to know you're really there

I wanna die and let you give 
Your life to me so I might live 
And share the hope you gave me 
The love that set me free 

I wanna tell the world out there 
You're not some fable or fairy tale 
That I've made up inside my head 
You're God the Son and you've risen from the dead."

It was such a good reminder that though there are things that need to get done, I need to keep the Main Thing, the main thing. HE is the reason I am going. HE is the reason.
