My B.L.O.G.

I have created a blog.....this should be interesting. I was inspired to do this after reading several blogs that were forwarded to me by a very close friend and being impacted by the author's journeys, thoughts, funny stories, and by seeing some of their hearts.

I found humor in one blog I read about asking the question is nothing in this world sacred. She stated in her blog,"Last night I saw a billboard announcing the impending DVD arrival of Disney’s Cinderella II: The Magic Didn’t End At Midnight? Is nothing in this world sacred?" I thought that was hilarious, but so so true. One Cinderella, one glass slipper, one prince, and one happily ever after is not enough for our super sized, would you like the upgraded gas, car, and costco membership? We just seem to want more and more, don't we?

Which leads me to the end and beginning of this post.....my B.L.O.G. standing for Beautiful Longings Ordained~n~ God. I was at church a couple weeks ago and sang one of my favorite hymns, "Praise To the Lord,The Almighty." The words of the second stanza hit me like a ton of bricks that night...."All of thy longings have been granted in what He ordaineth." It gave me such a peace and excitement to realize that my longings and desires will be met in and by Him, which leads me to my B.L.O.G. A place for me to share some of my heart, longings, and thoughts with no fear of whether or not they will be heard, validated, or established because they are already complete in Him. I will close tonight with one of my favorite songs that helps me to focus on all I need....no need for Cinderella 2!

I Just Want You-Vicki Yohe
I could have fortune and fame
Go anywhere do anything
But oh God I just want you
I could search for earthly things
To satisfy my every need
But oh God I just want you

I just want you I just want you
I just want to live In your presence everyday
I lay down my will And every selfish desire
Whatever it takes Father that's what I'll do
Cause I just want you

Standing in this holy place
I'm only here to seek your face
Oh God I just want you
Can you feel the passion?
In my heart
To be close to where you are
Oh God I just want you
