this is my second post in two days. apparently i'm blogging like it's going out of style. but this is not true.
i came home from school today after attending a mandatory assembly about drunk driving. well this is what it was supposed to be about, but it ended up being just a bunch of really gory pictures of trauma patients... you know the slide show i'm talking about... well anyway. i came home and i was not in a very good mood after that. i laid down for a while before i had to leave to go to swim. i really did not want to go. at all. it was raining. i did not feel like driving all the way to UALR in the torrential downpours... and yeah. so needless to say, i was definitely in a bad mood.
well on the way, i was driving down cantrell (where i passed my favorite tree). and i noticed how incredible the trees looked at that particular time. the weather was horrible, but the trees still maintained there majesty. i changed the radio to some random station and "Never Say Never" by The Fray was on. it was at the part of the song where they repeat "don't let me go" over and over and over. and it's really intense. okay so at this point in time i almost lost it. a wave of peace and love came over me. it was such a strange moment. i literally just got the chills. the thought of God's love for us (no matter how far we stray from him) is relentless. lately i've felt His presence so much. and it's beginning to all come together in my mind.
so i am going to leave you with some lyrics.
"Your love is relentless and i'm glad for it, i'm glad for it. your love is relentless and i'm glad. Your love is relentless and if not for it, if not for it. i'd perish for sure if not for it. Savior for the faithful, we're in the hands of God. Love has come and we are safe. Hope has come and we are safe. We're in the hands of God..."
-Birmingham (We Are Safe) by DCB
p.s. i realize that most if not all of you who read this (all what, four? of you...) are in college and are majoring in some sort of english or writing. please excuse my lack of organization, creativity, skill... thanks.

LOVE the song you quoted at the end. i've been jamming to it all week!
also, i was having a similar revelation through the downpour in fayetteville tonight- that the Lord can work in strange ways to show us His love. for me tonight, the rain reminded me of His love even after i'd been complaining about it all day - isn't that just like God, to use our rebellion and complaining-Israelites-in-wilderness whining to draw us back to Him? i just love Him! (and you).
I haven't heard the DCB song (still haven't gotten the new cd!), but that Fray song is beautiful. I have moments like that quite often. I think God gets through to me best when I'm driving.
Don't feel bad...the majority of my posts contain incomplete sentences,misspelled words, and other grammatical errors. And I AM one of those college students with an English-related major.
