RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS
Maybe it's weird, but they don't get me down... rainy days and
Mondays, that is... they're restful for me. Maybe it's because we've
been nonstop going for the last few months, and when I woke up this
morning in my own bed, I remembered it was Monday, and I had nowhere to
be until Saturday. What an amazing feeling! And somehow it enhances
that feeling for it to be melancholy outside. The only downside is that
our roof is leaking in about twenty different places (Dallas has been
HIT with storms the last few days! It's crazy!), but in a lot of ways,
it's kind of endearing, you know? There are pots and pans laying all
around our house (not to mention a recycling bin-- I think Shane got
desperate, but didn't realize the bin has holes on the bottom. Yeah.)
and the smell of rain and wet earth has filled our house. Soo, soo good.
I'm sitting here at White Rhino, waiting for my chamomile tea to
steep, listening to some coffee shop music. Just wanted to drop in and
say hello to you all. I think Twitter has drastically changed my
blogging habits, you know? I am now "tweeting" about twice a day, and I
feel like that's blogging, but it really isn't. It's been nice, though,
because it's more conducive to busyness and the road, but now that I'm
home, I wanted to just write more than 120-something characters and say
a few thing:
1) Thank you, thank you, thank you for your sweet encouragement
about the new record!!!! I have been reading y'all's comments and
tweets and have just been blessed over and over again. My highest hope
is that you would find Him somehow in those songs, and that He'd stir
the deepest places of your heart for Him through them. He's so much
bigger than songs, but I am just blown away by His using them anyway!
So, yeah, thank you guys for your support and going on this "stop and
listen" (Luke 10) journey with me!
2) We had an amazing handful of shows this past week! Rev Gen, you
guys are great. Thanks for having us. Hunters' Glen in Plano, thanks
for celebrating with us on release day, and to everyone who came out!
And, HELLO, Jillian Edwards- you are fantastic, truly. I've been
listening to your EP nonstop. Ft. Gillem and Ft. Jackson, man... thanks
for inviting us in and letting us have a better picture of who you are.
We were humbled beyond words by your selfless sacrifice.
3) I'm reading an AMAZING book by John MacArthur: Twelve Extraordinary Women.
I read the first three chapters (Eve, Sarah, and Rahab) last night on
my flights home, and ladies out there, I'd encourage you to go through
it with me!
Anyway, I want to blog more later, but I need to hop in the truck
and head home to get Shane's computer for him... he's meeting with some
guys from our church here right now. Just wanted to leave y'all with
some radical verses that have stopped me in my tracks lately... I've
been kind of immersed in a season of wanting to be CONVINCED of His
love, you know? Here's some crazy thoughts for you today, if you
struggle with it like me:
"To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness by night." Psalm 92:2
"You have hemmed me in, behind and before, and You have laid Your hand upon me." Psalm 139:5
When you have a moment today, let your thoughts go there, and lead
your heart there... that He is literally hemming you in with
lovingkindness and faithfulness. His deep affection for You are the
book ends on this day, and tomorrow, and every day after that. What a
powerful reality! Rest in it, rejoice in it, be swept off your feet by
it.
Love y'all, talk soon.

Hear Bethany Dillon's New Radio Single!
Acclaimed twenty-year-old singer/songwriter Bethany Dillon — originally dubbed “the future” of Christian music by CCM magazine — is looking ahead to the release of her much-anticipated new album, STOP AND LISTEN, on September 8. The stirring first single, “Everyone to Know,” is streaming now at MySpace.
Co-written with Dove Award-winning producer Ed Cash (Chris Tomlin, Third Day), Dillon says “Everyone to Know” is “a call to those who are chasing after things that won’t satisfy their souls, stuck in the emptiness of their life. [It’s] sharing how my heart (because it’s GOD’S heart) is for ALL to be led to repentance and salvation in Jesus.”
