Phil 3:12

did you come that we could just survive
did you come so we could just get by
did you walk among us so we might merely limp along beside
I was bound
I have been set free
but I have settled for apathy
did you come to make me new
and know I'd crawl right back into the skin you found me in
its where I am not where I've been

You make me wanna live
you make me wanna live
you came to shake us
and to wake us up to something more
than we always settle for
you make me wanna live

we've all been up on the mountain top
a golden glow that's bound to soon wear off
then its back to the mundane
telling tales of glory days
when we were hopeful than this change was here to stay

so why would a young man live
live in a waste land
when the castle of his dreams is standing by
why would a princess
put on an old dress
to dance with her beloved and a chance to catch his eye?

Just stumbled onto this song today at the back of a CD.
Why don't I live fully for Jesus? Why am I so torn? Why don't put my trust fully in him? Feel like I'm limping along... buying into the lies of this world, and its such a struggle to hold onto God's truth. Thanks to my sisters who pray with me. Thanks to those who are on this journey with me. Thanks cuz I know I'm not alone. I won't give up. Jesus died to give us abundant life and I'm gonna take hold of it.

Hi Jane,

I don't think you are torn nor weak. We all struggle in some ways but we better ourselves along our walk with Jesus through faith and prayers.

Enjoy Vienna and don't forget your mission :P
