that part just wrecks me -Hillsong UNITED Part Three

Part Three: Continuing on the Hillsong part of my playlist.

I'm almost done with this whole playlist thing so sit tight for a couple more and we'll be back to the regularly scheduled programming.

This song spoke to me about a battle that's been raging in my mind for awhile.

I've written and erased words here for about an hour now, so in light of why I started this whole thing with lyrics, I'm going to let them do the talking writing.

I can imagine if we all got real serious about God's love for us, "it's a grace (we) can never add up".

As You Find Me -Hillsong UNITED
I've been strong
And I've been broken within a moment
I've been faithful
And I've been reckless at every bend
I've held everything together
And watched it shatter
I've stood tall and I have crumbled
In the same breath
I have wrestled
And I have trembled toward surrender
Chased my heart adrift
And drifted home again
Plundered blessing
Till I've been desperate to find redemption
And every time I turn around
Lord You're still there
I was found
Before I was lost
I was Yours
Before I was not
Grace to spare
For all my mistakes
And that part just wrecks me
And I know I don't deserve this kind of love
Somehow this kind of love is who You are
It's a grace I could never add up
To be somebody You still want
But somehow
You love me as You find me
Who am I
To think Your glory needs my praises
But if this borrowed breath is Yours Lord
Take it all
You are faithful and You are gracious
And I'm just grateful
To think You don't need a single thing
And still You want my heart
I was found
Before I was lost
I was Yours
Before I was not
You wear the scars
For all my mistakes
And that part just wrecks me
Your love's too good to leave me here

If You want my heart
I won't second guess
'Cause I need Your love
More than anything
I'm in
I'm Yours
Your love's too good to leave me here
Your love's too good to leave me

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
