the song of my heart...

frigid colorado, (seriously just saw -2 on the thermometer...)
i wonder if to a degree, it emphasizes my heart at the moment... i wouldn't say i have a deep-frozen heart, but lately i have been letting it get colder and colder... as time with people has taken more of a priority in my life than time with my King.  Yesterday, as i was on the plane, i sat next to an 80+ year old woman who after she saw me put down my book, asked if i was getting enough homework done... the book i was reading called "encouragement"... truth is, i was just getting ready to start my homework with her ;-) she shared she had just had a stroke, but that nothing could keep her from traveling to keep her grandchildren, she was now lame in one leg.  i asked her what was the most important lesson she learned from the stroke and her situation, she said, that she finally realized she needs help, and that she had very much taken things for granted, and now has an attitude of thankfulness... i quietly remembered, sometimes be encouraged the most when someone asks a question and we see the truth within us coming out.  she left with a smile on her face and thanked me for the brief conversation we had...
as i got in the FROZEN car yesterday, the song, Revelation by third day was playing.  i had heard it before but never really let the lyrics sink in... this has been the song of my heart... and again this morning, the song played... its deep, its penetrating, it's my prayer and the words i'm striving to live out the next few days here as i retreat to my guide...

Give me a revelation,
Show me what to do
Cause I've been trying to find my way,
I haven't got a clue
Tell me should I stay here,
Or do I need to move
Give me a revelation
I've got nothing without You
I've got nothing without You

Oh, give me a revelation

I've got nothing without You
I've got nothing without You
