A Heart-Check

I was listening to Jason Upton this morning as I was taking Christopher to school. I started talking to God, expressing my discouragement for not being able to write incredible "open heaven" songs like Jason, and ultimately feeling sorry for myself. (aww, "poor me" ) The Lord ever-so-gently reminded me that these types of songs are written out of a passionate relationship with Him. They are also written out of much prayer and time spent with God, both of which I have done very little of lately!


I was immediately convicted and compelled to spend some quality time talking with my first love, Jesus, and contending for the things that are on the heart of God. I've been so busy being a "Martha" that I've forgotten how to be a "Mary"; to just sit at the feet of Jesus and be with Him and listen to what is on His heart . . .
