As of Late – August 15, 2010

Lately I’ve been asking the Lord, “Who is like You?”

Lately I’ve been enjoying home.

Lately the Lord has been urging me to speak what has been given to me.

Lately rhythms and melodies and lyrics have stopped me in my tracks as I revel in their beauty.

Lately I’ve laughed joyfully in spite of deep struggle.

Lately inspiration has been blowing like a gentle breeze.

Lately a friendship has bloomed and blossomed into something more than I could have prayed for.

Lately it seems the temporary aims to steal the eternal.

Lately heritage has meant the world to me.

Lately I’ve remembered 140 characters do not sum up a heart, but a life lived out loud does.

And I’ve been wondering, what have you been up to as of late?

Feel free to link up or comment with what you’ve been loving, learning and listening to as of late.  Details can be found here.

    I am so glad inspiration has been coming to you like a gentle breeze.

    Blooming and blossoming friendship is one of the biggest blessings I have ever had. <3

    Laughter in spite of struggle, pain, and loss reminds me there is beauty in this temporal world.

    So true that the temporary steals the eternal. Music has been playing a huge role in my life lately too. It just speaks to me and for me when I can’t find the words.

  4. I love the last one, a life lived out loud, don’t we all need to share our hearts through lives lived out loud.

    And oh how true it is that the temporary will try and steal the eternal.

    I have sat silently in the lap of my Heavenly Father allowing Him to sing over me and bring peace to a busy mind.

  9. Music does that to me too. Sometimes, I hear something “for the first time” even though I have heard it many times before. I love how God reveals himself to us through music. Tozer said it best when he said, “God speaks and a hymn is the musical echo of His voice.”

    What a neat idea…I will participate next week for sure!

    Ah, music. It has carried me so many times. There is a handful of songs that move me to tears as soon as I hear the opening notes because they carried me through such heartbreak and allowed me to emerge as one who loves Him the most.

    May your week be blessed, Kristen!

  11. This was a really good thing for me to do today — it helped me process in my quiet time. Thanks for this — I needed it and really enjoyed reading yours.

  12. Laughing in spite of deep struggle…

    … should be my catchphrase for this whole summer. :)
