Delirious - Majesty Lyrics
Album:


Here I am humbled by Your Majesty,
Covered by Your grace oh friend.
Here I am knowing I'm a sinful man,
Covered by the blood of the Lamb.
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
Since You laid down Your life,
The greatest sacrifice.

Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
Empty handed but alive in Your hands.

Here I am humbled by the love that You give,
Forgiven so that I can forgive.
So here I stand,
Knowing that I am Your desire,
Sanctified by glory and fire.
And now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
Since You laid down Your life,
The greatest sacrife.

Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
Empty handed but alive in your hands.
Singing Majesty, Majesty.
Forever I am changed by Your love,
In the presence of Your Majesty.
Majesty.

We're singing Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
And I'm nothing but alive in Your hands.
We're singing Majesty, Majesty.
Forever I am changed by Your love,
In the beauty of Your Majesty.
Majesty.

This song has been on my mind since church today. How awesome is it that God finds us where we are in our sin and meets us there with his grace. And when we are met by his grace we are forever changed by His Love. He is Majesty!

Days Like Today....

I love days like today, where you declare to the world (or maybe just to the basket of laundry waiting to be folded) "I am just gonna' have fun!" Days when you don't have a plan or even an agenda, just a friend that is willing to go along for the ride. Where you realize what is important in life-spending time with those we love and living life to the fullest! Now there will still be days when my perfectonistic self will be slaving away scrubbing floors while I try to keep my little one entertained with a dust pan (yes I have done that-don't judge) but today was not one of those days. It was a day to relax, and not do anything "productive" at all. It was a day to enjoy fatty foods, without guilt (or going to the gym afterwards) A day to enjoy the sun and fresh air and water. It was a day to let my hair down, and go with the flow-not something a melancholy-choleric can do so easily but even I need those days. Days like today are refreshing, and I need to make time to have more days like today! Thank you friend for coming on this ride with me and helping me to realize what is important in my life.

My two sides


So I have multiple personalities-ok not really, but I have realized that I have 2 sides to me that are very different. Look at the above picture, what do you see? A motorcycle jacket and helmet-someone ready to go for a daring ride, right? But check out the bottom half-a button down skirt-serious working mommy with a lot of responsibilities.
After almost 2 years of persuading, my hubby finally got me to go out on a motorcycle ride with him. And after I got over that "I'm gonna hurl" feeling as we proceeded onto the entrance ramp of Hwy 270, I actually had fun! I began to relax and feel the wind blowing past and I started to notice things around me in a different way. I felt young and free, not worrying about what Evie ate for dinner, or if I remembered to put the towels in the dryer. Once we got off the highway we even had fellow bikers pull up and talk with us-they had no idea about my "other side" they just saw me as some "biker chic."
But, my other side is who I am most of the time. I am a mommy, a wife and a nurse-responsible for my child, my husband, my patients, my home. I am safe, I don't take risks. I worry about whether Evie should eat peas or carrots for dinner and which sunscreen will offer the best protection against UVB and UVA rays-not something this cool "biker chic" would concern herself with.
So the question of the day- Is it possible to be both? and if it is-how do I combine the two? and the answer-Yes, I think I can still be fun and free-to some degree and still be a good mom. Now how to combine the two-I am still working on that one, but maybe one day I will figure it out.
