All that matters is..

I haven't blogged in a few months. I'll admit, I've been kinda going through a drought of my own.. But am very appreciative in God's work that He has done on my heart here lately while i've been "walking through the valley".
I've been thinking about blogging, but wanted to blog when I had peace. Well, friends, I have found that peace! haha!
Fast forward to two years ago this time- I was SUFFERING (spiritually)! My faith dangled on a thread every time I watched T.V. or heard some sort of "Doomsday Prophecy". I was terrified- but looking back, I was more terrified in the thought that there was a chance that I had faith-issues. Anyways, God has really used these past two years to open up my eyes and heal my ever-wandering heart. I prayed that prayer EVERY TIME those thoughts crossed my mind. I am so happy and blessed today to (sit) here and say that I am not afraid anymore. I have grown closer to the Lord through prayer and reading His Word.. and now when I see this world unraveling and hear all of the "end times" talk- I am very THANKFUL! This may seem weird, but what is going on in the world actually makes the scriptures VERY REAL to me- and I find Joy in that because I know Jesus is coming soon! You all may think I'm crazy but that's just something I've been wanting to get off my chest. I guess you can say that I've been feeling a bit homesick. I don't care that my yard is yellow and crispy- This is expected- I am patiently waiting on Jesus and I am so happy that He has roped me in once again! He is so faithful.
Oh yeah, as I was cleaning my house, this song came on my iPhone- Lyrics went great with how I have been feeling! :-)


I may never be the one that gets a second glance
I may never be the one they call the prettiest
But that’s alright with me

And maybe I don’t follow every crazy passion
Spend all my time trying to get a good reaction
But that’s ok with me

This world is like a trampoline
High and low no in between
Jumping at the chance to please
Everyone but that’s not me

Cause all that matters is
All that matters is
I know your love has set me free
And that’s all that matters to me

Cause all that matters is
All that matters is
I know your love has set me free
And that’s all that matters to me

Some people tell me to step out and do my own thing
And others say I got to blend in just to be the same
And stop being me

But this shallow world is no longer what I’m made of
I’ve been changed by grace
I’ve been saved by love
What more do I need

*All that matters is
All that matters is
I know your love has set me free
And that’s all that matters to me (x2)*

My life comes from the One
Who made the stars and brought the sun
He loves me more than these
So I don’t need another identity

Cause all that matters is
All that matters is
I know your love has set me free
And that’s all that matters to me (X2)
