Truth digging....

Today I'm choosing not to give in to the confusion, the uncertainty, the judgement call left with a hung jury.    I've been living between that rock and that hard place for so long but I have been digging for that well that I know lies beneath.  

Some days it feels as if I'm digging out the same dirt that I have already dug and it feels oh so pointless.  I don't know if it's me that's filling the hole back in at times or if it's God or the enemy.  

There are times that I can dig past it, times where I sit and stare at it, times it seems to much to remove and times that in faith I speak be thou removed.  As you see, there has been no consistency.  I've been moved by emotion and thus made myself weary.

There is just cause for me to be weary because if I am not firm in my stance, being moved by emotion, I'm fighting me.  My attention is diverted and I quit digging.

God is a God of peace and clarity.  Confusion is the work of the enemy.  God speaks clearly, propelling us forward.  Even in times of rest, He is still working and perfecting something within us.

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace....

Confusion gives way to manipulation and will fight to keep you from moving forward.  

If something is bogging you down, doing a number on your emotions, making you weary, there is something at work.  May God send His spirit of Truth to bring peace and clarity.  And know as you continue digging, He is doing the same with in the midst of you.




He’s carving out a place in me
That I might contain his glory

Making a bigger space in me
That I might contain his glory

Like a dry river bed
I am waiting for the latter rain

Like a dry river bed
I am waiting for the latter rain


What do I do here in the waiting?
What do I do with my unsatisfied heart?
What do I do here in the waiting?
Here in the tension of believing again and again

Cause there's a lack
There’s a gap in my soul
Between the things
That I believe and I know

So holy spirit
You who fill all and all
Come and fill me
Holy Spirit, come and hold me together

So I fall into grace again
So I fall into grace again
So I fall into grace again
Like a child I am
Like a child I am






You said there would be joy in the laying down
You said there would be joy in the letting go
You said there would be joy in the giving of my life
And now I see

Your river it rushes to the lowest place
Your river it rushes to the lowest place
Your river it rushes to the lowest place
Your river it rushes

Come and rush over me
Come and rush over me
Come and rush over me
Let the river flow

I bow down
I get low
I open up my heart to receive your love

I gotta get to the wells of joy
I have to dig for the wells of joy
I gotta get to the wells of joy
I gotta get lower, lower

Your river it rushes to the lowest place
Your river it rushes to the lowest place
Your river it rushes to the lowest place
Your river it rushes

I gotta get to the wells of joy
I have to dig for the wells of joy
I gotta get to the wells of joy
I gotta get lower, lower

Your river it rushes to the lowest place
Your river it rushes to the lowest place
Your river it rushes to the lowest place
Your river it rushes
