Desperate

So I'm driving home after an almost 12 hour day. Yikes can that be right? Started at 8:30 AM left at 8:00 PM. Yes I guess that's right.

Anyway, I decide to take the road less traveled home because the drive is so beautiful and less stressful than I435 and Metcalf. It had been a long day, that followed a long day the day before.

The windows are down the sunroof is as open as it can go. I'm wishing I had a convertible because it is just so incredibly beautiful out. I feel the stress that fills me beginning to leave.

I just put my head back and breath in the fabulously fresh air. I smell the trees, the grass, the flowers. I marvel at what a gift this evening is. My arm hangs out the window catching the wind and dancing to the beat of the music coming from my radio.

I start to think of all the wonderful blessings God has given me. I wonder "why me Lord"? There are so many I know who need and probably deserve blessings more than I do. But my heart fills with gratitude that can't be explained. Then a song comes on the radio and as I sing the words "I'm desperate for You" my heart is turned to heaven.

I cry because I'm so overwhelmed.

"This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence living in me"

The words of the song fill me as I breathe in the fresh evening air. I fill my lungs as I rest in the assurance that God's spirit is living in me. I belong to Him.

"I'm desperate for You
I'm lost without You"

My soul is at peace as the song concludes. I'm content.
