You're Up to Something Bigger Than Me

Whatever You're Doing by Sanctus Real...it's been speaking to me a lot over the past month or 2.

The other night, at the prompting of a pretty awesome mentor, I sat down and wrote out my goals for 2009. Yesterday I met with her to discuss my goals and hers as well as ways to pray for one another and to hold one another accountable throughout the year. As I was driving back to work just after our lunch, Whatever You're Doing was playing and I thought, what perfect timing. When I got back to my desk, I just played it over and over again and reflected on the lyrics (below). I'm always amazed at the ways that God speaks to me, the channels that He uses to get my attention.

As 2008 came to an end, I thought over and over again, God, what are you doing...where are you leading me/us. As the song describes, we have felt a lot of "chaos". We have fought to remain faithful and have learned much on the journey. I know that He's up to something big. I don't know exactly what but I do know that He's in charge and that He is definitely leading us just exactly where He wants us. So in reflecting on 2008 and creating goals for 2009 I know that it is time to heal, to trust, to move forward, to dream bigger, to grow, to love, to faithfully follow His lead.


Whatever You're Doing

It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time to make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
And all I can do is surrender

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something Heavenly

Time for a milestone, Time to begin again
Reevaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow Your will
Or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is You want from me
I give everything I surrender...

To whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something Heavenly

Time to face up Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to release all my held back tears

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This *is* something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly
Something Heavenly
It's time to face up Clean this old house
Time *to* breathe in and let everything out
