God Teaches Me...
There is another land out there that I am discovering which is not limited. A whole new land out there that needs discovering of which I didn't see in Egypt....it only is being revealed in the drudging through the deep sand at times and then on clear open paths at times, and if I dare look back the blowing sand blinds my eyes. And He say 'go into the land which I promised you, it's straight ahead, don't stop, keep on going, Can you see it?'
I am forwarding this blog which I received this morning from Jim. Oh girl, does it say a lot to me, brought tears to my eyes because it is me...and the greatest thing in 'finding' me, I am not afraid of 'me' any longer. The roads have been closed off to the past (Egypt) and I am so thankful!!!What amazes me is the vast, ever changing lucidity that is occurring all around me, and it came with 'complete' surrender to Jesus. I am a human 'becoming' within a infinite dimensional creation.
Here it is and please make sure you listen to the video...an artist of whom I did not know.
It is absolutely perfect for me and I hope you feel it too. Thank you Jesus for this amazing life!!! Love you,Teresa

"God gently and relentlessly teaches me art and beauty right in the midst of the meaningless, messy, and mundane of my life; He teaches me authenticity and integrity right in the midst of my clever disguises and sophisticated lies; He teaches me caring and compassion right in the midst of my blind ambition, petty foolishness, and the total mindlessness of my great strivings (and the 'unexpected' acrimony that ensues); He teaches me dignity and grace right in the midst of my carelessness, clumsiness, coarseness, and inconsideration; He teaches me hope, intimacy, and love right in the midst of my callousness, fears, panic, passivity, and perilous penchant for silent hate and subtle violence; He teaches me humility right in the midst of my delusions of grandeur; He teaches me patience right in the midst of what I find totally intolerable; He teaches me peace right in the midst of the storms of my life's absolute chaos; and then, right when I think the lessons are over, He teaches me awe and reverence right in the midst of Him." -- Yours Truly
And it takes as long as it takes for me to get the lessons, and there is a reason that that is usually longer than what is comfortable for me (you'll hear the reason at the end of the song). And if you feel a little caught between a rock and a hard place, between the past (and what you know - the "comfortable prison") and an unknown future (filled with lessons you are learning that you can't pretend you don't know), take a soothing listen, to gain some much needed perspective.
This is a beautiful song, written and sung by a very talented young woman, addressing a topic (that transition period between ignorance & naivete and maturity & wisdom) I find myself supporting many young people in these days, but if I'm totally honest, that's only because He is still teaching me. I have always been a slow learner, learning through trial and error - with embarrassingly much error, and age means nothing when it comes to spiritually maturing, really and truly.
