You Love Me Anyway

I have no idea who you have been telling about my blog but tons of people are reading it lately!! Thank you for your support, it means the world, honestly.

So last night there was a thunder and lightning storm, it was pretty sweet. I am hoping for lots more in the next month, they are my favorite. When I see the lightning I am so reminded of God's infinite-ness!! He is truly an amazing God. It blows my mind that HE wants to spend time with me, even if I don't want to spend time with Him. Compared to God's love, mine in return is nothing, and yet He wants it!! How crazy :) With Easter coming up, God is showing me how great His love really is. What He did on the cross sucks, but I will take the free gift that He is offering to me. There is a song by the Sidewalk Prophets called You Love Me Anyway that reminds me of Easter.

The question was raised, as my conscience fell
A silly, little lie, it didn’t mean much

But it lingers still In the corners of my mind

Still you call me to walk on the edge of this world
To spread my dreams and fly but the future’s so far
My heart is so frail I think I’d rather stay inside

But You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me how You love me

It took more than my strength, to simply be still
To seek but never find, all the reasons we change
The reasons I doubt, and why do loved ones have to die?

But You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

I am the thorn in Your crown, but You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow, but You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist, but You love me anyway
I am Judas’ kiss, but You love me anyway

See now, I am the man that called out from the crowd
For Your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking ground
Yes then, I turned away with this smile on my face
With this sin in my heart tried to bury Your grace

And then alone in the night, I still called out for You
So ashamed of my life, my life, my life

But You love me anyway
Oh, God… how you love me
You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
You love me anyway, Oh Lord, how You love me

You love me, You love me
You love me, You love me
How You love me
How You love me
How You love me

God is so good. Living for Him is like no other thing in the entire world. I know that I wouldn't be in Africa right now if I hadn't surrendered my life to Him. Yes it is hard, and I have had my share of troubles and sicknesses, but I am learning to trust the Lord through these things and seek His face even more. Lately I feel like I am learning how to study the bible a bit more. I feel like I am really connecting in ways that I didn't before, and I like it!! Some days are still hard, but lately I have had more good days than bad ones. That is a little glimpse into my walk with God right now :)

I tried to post pictures too, but the wifi is too slow :( I will try again soon though!!

Love,
Rach :)
