There's no place for me than right where You are.

Do you ever hear a song that just captures your day, your moment, or life? I was studying away and listening to pandora with no intention of posting today and this song came on and it's just exactly truth. Read over the lyrics and really let them set in. Look it up on youtube if you wanna hear it. It's just beautiful. 

 In Your Arms by Meredith Andrews

I'm turning the world off
Embracing the silence
Walking away from all the voices
That are Screaming in my ear

I've been too caught up
I've been so stressed out
All of the noise replaced the whisper
That used to be so clear

So I close every door
Put my face back on the floor

And I'm in Your arms
Where I belong
There's no other place for me
Than right where You are
Some things just don't change
When I call Your name
You never hesitate to wrap me in endless grace
When I'm in Your arms

I'm letting my fears go
Giving You control
For You are the one who holds me closer
In my soul's darkest night

Everything I see
Is so temporary
So help me to run the race before me
With eternity in sight

Now I close every door
Put my face back on the floor

And I'm in Your arms
Where I belong
There's no other place for me
Than right where You are
Some things just don't change
When I call Your name
You never hesitate to wrap me in endless grace
When I'm in Your arms

To sit at Your feet
At Your table of mercy
To gaze on Your beauty, my Lord
To drink from Your well
And be changed by Your glory
How could I ask for more
Jesus, how could I ask for more

And I'm in Your arms
Where I belong
There's no other place for me
Than right where You are
Some things just don't change
When I call Your name
You never hesitate to wrap me in endless grace
When I'm in Your arms

Friends I hope you remember that though life can get us down sometimes, and believe me some days I'm begging God to show me mercy and give me joy, all we need to remember is He is all we need. Nothing is impossible for Him. He makes all things new. Just soak in those promises. It was a rough day on my end, and it's going to be a long night with the books, but I know He has a plan and a purpose. and I know that there is no place for me other than where He is, and where He wants me. :)

I know the prayer challenge is over but friends don't forget the power of prayer. Spend time with Him. Don't neglect that because He promises to give you rest. Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." <3
