It has been one of those weeks, valleys, dry-spells or whatever you want to call it. One of my favorite music artists, Sara Groves, sings it best. It probably doesn't help that I've been sitting around, recovering from my knee surgery with only my thoughts to keep me entertained...
It's time for me to get back on the wagon and revive that relationship that I thirst for, yet often forget to quench.
This song has been replaying in my mind all week long...
How Is It Between Us? (Sara Groves, Album: Conversations)
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed,
the wrong side of the room,
the wrong side of the world.
Can't put my finger on the mood.
It's not melancholy, anger or the blues.
I love my husband, my house, my job.
Couldn't be any better,
and really what else is there?
Then I realize I'm forgetting God,
and that's the root of all my misery.
Lord, first of all, how is it between you and me?
Chorus: How is it between us?
How is it between us?
When did I talk to you last,
and what has happened since?
How is it between us? How is it between us?
When did I talk to you last, and what has happened?
When I wake up I am on my way,
reinventing the wheel and saving the day.
I have learned this lesson a thousand times,
I am the branch, and you are the vine.
Apart from you we are mice and men,
with our fancy dreams of grandeur and no way to get there.
Oh I can think about you now and then,
or I can make a mark on eternity.
Lord first of all, how is it, between you and me?
(Chorus)
So let the wicked prosper, let the oceans roar,
let the mountains crumble, and fall into the sea.
There's something more important weighing on my mind.
Lord first of all, how is it between you and me? (Chorus)

3 thing(s) you said:
I love Sara Groves & the image of thirsting for God and yet not really trying to quench that thirst on a daily basis. You should be a writer. (I mean on something more than just your blog!) :)
O.K. your blog made me think of one more song lyric that has struck a chord with me since college. It is the song, "Hold Me Jesus" by Rich Mullins. "Surrender don't come natural to me, I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want than to take what You give that I need". Amen Rich. Amen.
I'll give you an Amen on that.
