Why can't a time of proving ever b...Hi, Casey!<br /><br />Why can't a time of proving ever be easy? You did, indeed, uncover part of the answer - with your post, dear Casey! It's a time of spiritual growth, & growth doesn't always come easily. We are human, & along with that, often comes a certain impatience, desire to do things our way, & a resistance to step forward & take chances - which causes that unclear vision you described. And yes, the heart has to be unveiled, & in the perfect position, in order to obtain the most joy, growth, & fulfillment, from the plans that God has for you. Praying for clear vision re: God's plans for you, Casey!bontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852536941656729576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-68772582760100249272013-12-13T18:08:12.101-08:002013-12-13T18:08:12.101-08:00If it's not, it totally should be!

This is my favorite section: Fearless warriors in a picket fence<br />Reckless abandon wrapped in common sense<br />Deep-water faith in the shallow end<br /><br />Boy isn't that the truth!

Somewhere in the Middle.<br /><br />Here's the lyrics:<br /><br />Somewhere between the hot and the cold<br />Somewhere between the new and the old<br />Somewhere between who I am and who I used to be<br />Somewhere in the middle you'll find me<br /><br />Somewhere between the wrong and the right<br />Somewhere between the darkness and the light<br />Somewhere between who I was and who you're making me<br />Somewhere in the middle you'll find me<br /><br />Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender<br />'Cause I'm losing all control<br /><br />Fearless warriors in a picket fence<br />Reckless abandon wrapped in common sense<br />Deep-water faith in the shallow end<br />We are caught in the middle<br /><br />With eyes wide open to the differences<br />The God we want and the God who is<br />But will we trade our dreams for His<br />Or are we caught in the middle?<br />Are we caught in the middle?<br /><br />Somewhere between my heart and my hands<br />Somewhere between my faith and my plans<br />Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves<br />Somewhere between a whisper and the Lord<br /><br />Somewhere between the altar and the door<br />[From: http://www.elyrics.net]<br />Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more<br />Somewhere in the middle you'll find me<br /><br />Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender<br />'Cause I'm losing all control<br /><br />Fearless warriors in a picket fence<br />Reckless abandon wrapped in common sense<br />Deep-water faith in the shallow end<br />We are caught in the middle<br /><br />With eyes wide open to the differences<br />The God we want and the God who is<br />But will we trade our dreams for His<br />Or are we caught in the middle?<br /><br />Fearless warriors in a picket fence<br />Reckless abandon wrapped in common sense<br />Deep-water faith in the shallow end<br />We are caught in the middle<br /><br />With eyes wide open to the differences<br />The God we want and the God who is<br />But will we trade our dreams for His<br />Or are we caught in the middle?<br />Are we caught in the middle?<br /><br />Lord, I feel You in this place<br />And I know You're by my side<br />Loving me even on these nights<br />When I am caught in the the middle<br />Caught in the middle<br /><br />The part of the song I think of often for myself is: Will we trade our dreams for His? These lyrics have spoken to me many times.<br /><br />I know sometimes its easy to wish we <br /><br />Love you, Case! Julia M.
