Busy Bee

First of all I must apologize. I don't have nearly any time to write today!

I'm actually about to run out the door.

But in hopes of not missing a day (yet), I'd like to post.

A song that I really like and want to make my prayer right now is Empty Me by Chris Sligh. Chris was 10th on American Idol a few years back, and I'm so happy he's on the Christian radio station! The words are really great. They encourage me to find security in God and not other places. So I'm just going to post the words here! :)

I've had just enough of the spotlight
When it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood
And I've tasted my share 
Of the sweet life
And the wild ride
And found a little is not quite enough

I know how i can stray
And how fast my heart could change

Empty me
Of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition 
And the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me
So i can be
Filled with you

Ive seen just enough of the quick buys
Of the best lies
To know how prodigals can be drawn away

I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change
Empty me
Of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition 
And the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me
So I can be
Filled with you

Cuz everything is a lesser thing 
Compared to you
Compared to you
Cuz everything is a lesser thing 
Compared to you
So I surrender all

Empty me
Of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition 
And the poison of my pride

Empty me
Of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition 
And the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me
So I can be
Lord empty me of me
So I can be
Filled with you. 
Filled with you
Empty me
