\"\"<\/a>Last night my husband Clint and I rung in the new year with some great friends. We had a lot of fun hanging out, but the highlight of the night was the stroke of midnight when the four of us sat around the table and prayed together. Greg and Lori’s requests for the year were wisdom and purpose. Ours were to be more teachable and to learn to rest. In order to measure where God is taking me and to record the places I am seeking Him, I am going to start this blog. I am not going to commit to write everyday, but I do want this to be a place where I can be held accountable to what God is doing in my life.<\/p>\n

Over the past few weeks, the first CD by the band Leeland has been occupying the playlist on my iPod. The last song on that album is called “Carried to the Table”. I am so thankful for a song that speaks to exactly how I feel heading into 2007.<\/p>\n

Wounded and forsaken
\nI was shattered by the fall
\nBroken and forgotten
\nFeeling lost and all alone
\nSummoned by the King
\nInto the Master\u2019s courts
\nLifted by the Savior
\nAnd cradled in His arms<\/p>\n

I was carried to the table
\nSeated where I don\u2019t belong
\nCarried to the table
\nSwept away by His love
\nAnd I don\u2019t see my brokenness anymore
\nWhen I\u2019m seated at the table of the Lord
\nI\u2019m carried to the table
\nThe table of the Lord<\/p>\n

Fighting thoughts of fear
\nAnd wondering why He called my name
\nAm I good enough to share this cup
\nThis world has left me lame
\nEven in my weakness
\nThe Savior called my name
\nIn His Holy presence
\nI\u2019m healed and unashamed<\/p>\n

You carried me, my God
\nYou carried me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
