Soul voice
Nothing brings me back faster to the Father than music. Not just any music, but a simple cry from the depths of the soul. 
I was at a wedding a week ago. Simple ceremony, like any given Saturday. After the vows, there was a song dedication:
Here and now, here in this moment
Here and now I turn to You
All that my searching heart has longed for can be found
'Cause You're in this moment, here and now
What majesty, what mystery,
the God of all eternity
Stepped into time and gave His life for me
Your hand is seen in galaxies, yet Your Spirit dwells in me
So vast and yet You're still within our reach
Something stirred inside me, the words flowed to my spirit. So simple, worship became anew again and I felt like amidst-the love surrounding the couple, the tender smiles, the happy tears - God was there affirming once more through marriage , His love for us.
We love because He first loved us.
The eternal desire to commune with us even as he brings a man and a woman together in holy matrimony.
It was an open invitation to me to fill this soul-hunger which is as deep as His love can fill.
The first 3 months of 2007 went off a giddy start. It was heady with expectations and nervous excitement.I've been circling on this part of my journey, feeling ready yet not launched into it.
I 've been looking too often at 'What's the next step, where now and what?' but this unsettledness and anxiety on the future has marred the present. Yes , I need to plan, need to do this and that.
But where's the clarity?
Here and now. I need to turn Him.
Easter is only 2 Sundays away... even now, embrace this moment when deep calls to deep-more than the questions, the noise, the pressing future- embrace Him. Let God answer your heartcry.
As long as your heart is open He is always present-here and now.
