Running...

I am trying to get ready for the Pat Tillman race this weekend and when I run I have to keep telling myself 'I can do it'. Listening to my ipod, I heard these words. I was instantly convicted of my self-obsession to be independant of the God I need so much.

Rush Of Fools - Undo Lyrics

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

[Chorus]
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, 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

[Chorus]
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, 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

[Chorus]

I love that song! "I need you, need your help, I can't do this myself" goes through my head a lot!
Phil. 4 :13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
Keep running girl, you have Jesus, who gives you the strength!
I love you, Tina
