He makes oceans from rain.

Hey world. :)


I'm kind of in a really good mood right now. And not just a fun, chippity mood; I'm just full of joy. I've had a really encouraging day.. spending time with friends, laughter and spontaneity. It's been filling, I guess you could say. Isn't it so humbling that God brings us encouragement when we aren't looking for it? Praise you, Dad. 


I've been writing down some verses this afternoon about freedom in Christ while listening to worship music, and this song came on during the playlist. I'll share it with you. I don't really have a lot to post right now, I just feel blessed. Completely different type of post from that of the one I wrote previously. God nourishes. He does. Thank you for the prayers if you've been walking with me in my dry spout right now. You're a blessing, even if we've never met. So thanks.


Alright. Tenth Avenue North, You Are. I've written down these lyrics before in my blog. But hey, I'll share 'em again.


You Are


Lord of empty space
You breathe and then create
Before the earth was made
You are
The King of every age
Outside of time and space
The heavens speak Your name
You are
You are

Lord of brilliant light
You separate the night
And everything inside
You are
The One who calms the seas
And every part of me
With just a word You speak
You are
You are.

I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart
I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart

Angels bowing down
Beneath the rushing sound
A voice that thunders out
You are
The one who holds the stars
And the beating of my heart
Exalted above all
You are


It blows my mind that this is the God that I can call Daddy and who claims me as His precious girl. He knows I'm helpless and hopeless alone, but He does care. He takes me--lowly, self-consumed Ally, and says He doesn't care about pasts, about brokenness, about all the failures that captivate me daily. He takes me as I am. And in a crazy, mind boggling way, He draws me to worship. I'll give You all of me for all You are. Yeah. I don't get God. But I can't help but hunger for Him.  


If you're walking the same path I'm walking right now, keep going... let's walk together. 


Hopeful, 


Ally
