THE SPACE IN BETWEEN US

All I really wanna do
is fall into
the emptiness that is
the space in between us,
erase it and bring us
together again.

Building 4:29

I couldn’t have said it better myself. That chorus is from Building 4:29’s song The Space In Between Us, which is about how we create this space between us and God by our failure to realize the fullness of Him, and how He expects nothing of us to fix it, except to fall into Him.

There are times I wish that was something I could see with my eyes. I know it’s true, but sometimes, I long for it so desperately, to touch God physically, to have Him pick me up, and coddle me like the infant I am.

I took my daughter to a concert last night with my best friend and his daughter. Building 4:29 was one of the bands we saw. Todd Agnew was another. That man is the humblest performer I have ever met. “It’s time for all of us ‘performers’ to just drop the idea that we are anything, and realize that no matter what we do, it’s ALL about Jesus. It’s time to live that, not just say it! It’s time you all knew we are just as screwed up as you are.”, or something akin to that. (my memory, hmm) Amen!

Lord, erase the space that is in between us, and bring us together again.

"That's good advise for anyone that we are suppose to "look up to" from pastors and preachers to presidents and teachers. They are all human, they all sin, they all make mistakes."

Not to mention blog writers, too!! :D

Hello Elaine!! Good to see you got your computer back. Still, I bet the hammer would have worked a LOT quicker! :)

Technodiva,

Great!! I hope you are finding immense joy in your occupation. My mom was a full time stay at home mom. I was very grateful as a child.
