Famous One..

For some reason, a certain set of lyrics is going through my head- and not the whole song either, just a couple lines over and over again.. so I am listening to them right now, and about to type them out for you now :) Yay!

Here they are:

"And for all You've done, and yet to do.. with every breath, Lord I'm praising You. Desire of nations and every heart.. You alone are God.. You alone are God". From the song, "Famous One" by Chris Tomlin.

Isn't God good? Yes, I think so.

Someone once brought up the idea that they didn't like to think of God as "famous". I think it was in line with the thinking that being famous means that you are ultimately unapproachable, yet everyone longs to be who you are and have what you have.. in a selfish respect. Yet, no one really seems to know WHO you really are, or what you think about, because being famous often comes with a price- one that requires you to be "who" the public thinks you should be, and not necessarily showing your true colours.

I can understand this point of view.

Yet, as I think about it, if "GOD" was the "famous one".. I think He'd handle Himself quite well.. no one would need to wonder if He was really being "Himself", because He is true to Who He is.. it's impossible for God to lie, so no one would ever have to wonder if He was really saying what He meant.. or doing what He really should be doing, with the right motives and so on.. :) He's God. He could handle it. And be true to His character, His glory, His Love..

This weekend my church (Rustenboog Agape Pinkstergementee) is having a church retreat (yay!). I'm excited. 4 of my friends and I are singing a song on Sunday morning called "None but Jesus" by Hillsong United.. it's such a gentle, powerful song, and so please pray that we are anointed as we sing and play it- that God's power will fall on the people of the church!!

It's time for bed.. today I talked to my girl April March (yep, seriously, that's her name!!) and we had a great talk.. it was afternoon for her and she was yawning.. around 9pm (21:00) and I thought that was appropriate for her to yawn, forgetting that she is 7 hours behind us! So, if I ever call in the afternoon, maybe yawn a couple of times, and I'll be able to get to bed a little earlier... haha :)

Tot ziens allemaal..
