see ya in september

I love September. It is quite possibly my favorite month out of the entire year - it always reminds me fresh starts, of new beginnings. And even though I know that the new year technically starts in January, I think my mind is secretly programmed to think that it starts in September (I blame school for this - we always went back after Labor Day) I love this month already because I know God is, yet again, using a period of time in my life to refine me. The process is a pain, but I know the results will be beautiful.

These lyrics have been heavy on my heart...

I've been here before
Now, here I am again
Standing at the door
Praying You'll let me back in

To label me
A prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface
Of who I've been known to be

Turn me around, pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, I need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one
Who can undo what I've become

I focused on the score
But I could never win
Trying to ignore
A life of hiding my sin

To label me
A hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface
Of who I've been known to be

Turn me around, pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, I need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one
Who can undo what I've become

Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You

Turn me around, pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, I need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one who can undo
You are the only one who can undo
You're the only one who can undo
What I've become

"But me He caught -reached all the way from the sky to sea; He pulled me out of that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos, the void in which I was drowning. They hit me when I was down, but God stuck by me. He stood me up on a wide-open field; I stood there saved - surprised to be loved! God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before Him. When I got my act together, He gave me a fresh start." - Psalm 18: 16-20 (MSG)
