Nothing Else Will Do

A few months ago, we took our oldest daughter (4) to her first concert (singers of the song Here Again from my  last post). This singer/songwriter opened.



 Nothing Else -Cody Carnes
I'm caught up in this holy moment
I never want to leave
Oh, I'm not here for blessings
Jesus, You don't owe me anything
More than anything that You can do
I just want You
I'm sorry when I've just gone through the motions
I'm sorry when I just sang another song
Take me back to where we started
I open up my heart to You
I'm sorry when I've come with my agenda
I'm sorry when I forgot that You're enough
Take me back to where we started
I open up my heart to You
I'm caught up in Your presence
I just want to sit here at Your feet
I'm caught up in this holy moment
I never want to leave
Oh, I'm not here for blessings
Jesus, You don't owe me anything
And more than anything that You can do
I just want You
I just want You
Nothing else, nothing else
Nothing else will do

Run To The Father -Cody Carnes

I've carried a burden
For too long on my own
I wasn't created
To bear it alone
I hear Your invitation
To let it all go
Yeah I see it now
I'm laying it down
And I know that I need You
I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I'm done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I'll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh, oh
You saw my condition
Had a plan from the start
Your Son for redemption
The price for my heart
And I don't have a context
For that kind of love
I don't understand
I can't comprehend
All I know is I need You
I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I'm done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I'll run to the Father
Again and again

My heart has been in Your sights
Long before my first breath
Running into Your arms
Is running to life from death
And I feel this rush deep in my chest
Your mercy is calling out
Just as I am You pull me in
And I know I need You now

 I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I'm done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I'll run to the Father
Again and again

Silence once again. Still staring down the above metaphorical passageway. I underwent MRV (an MRI to look at the veins) of my abdomen and pelvis a few weeks ago. The radiologist report confirmed compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery. Sounds like a stent is still the treatment recommendation. When? I have no idea at the moment. The unknown. Trust. In the waiting, goodness will come. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Things have been crazy around here, but NOT because of the #covid19 pandemic. Well, I guess a little. Who hasn't been affected?!? I haven't posted since prior to the chaos began in the US. What a turn of events for the ENTIRE world. I eluded to it in the  MARCH 11th POST  but wanted to talk about it again. -LIMINALITY- The ENTIRE world was been plunged into the unknown, space between, a wilderness place; whatever

Re-Post: Starting my Journey

I’m still in a holding pattern over here (blog post to be written soon). While I wait it out, I figured I’d go back and re-post the start of this journey. (disclaimer: I made some edits to the verbiage). It's so interesting to read about how my life has played out so far. A digital journal of sorts (duh). If I'm being transparent here (which I usually am) I have been lamenting the last few days about how things could have been if I hadn't gone through all this. I find myself at times really upset and sad. Yet, there's a part of me that is so grateful to be in this place. Anywho, I digress (as usual). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The beginning of this journey starts October 6, 2015. Fairly long backstory here but have to pick a starting point. Alright, let's get to it. 6.Ocober.2015, 0700,     I have an appointment to discuss recent MRIs with a neurologist.  The doctor

Punch in the face: The Beginning

The beginning of this journey starts October 6, 2015. Fairly long backstory here but have to pick a starting point. So anyway, 10/6/15, 7am,   I have an appointment to discuss recent MRIs with a neurologist. The doctor comes in the room, sits down next to me and says, "Well, it looks like you have MS".   Two things happened in my brain at the same moment and I can't really remember which came first, but I'm going with "Well THAT explains it! I'm not a crazy person/hypochondriac!" and then "F. Wait, what did you say? MS? That's no good".   He showed me the "lesions" in my brain, cervical and thoracic spine on the MRIs. We chatted about his recommendations to start a daily injectable medication, he gave me some information about MS and the medication and said I should follow-up soon. I got into my car and called my husband and said, "well, you're not going to believe this. The Neurologist said I have
