Please, just let me explain....

Well, just in case, let me answer any questions about the title of this blog... My first choice (not that the title I ended up with is any less important) was "He is Making Me New" from the song "Beautiful Things" by Michael Gungor, but, of course, that was taken...."I'm running to Your arms" is a line from the song "Forever Reign" by Hillsong and also performed by Kristian Stanfill (the version I have). I first heard this song at The Tree at 'Exciting' Idewild Baptist Church, which is a college age ministry. I have to admit that I teared up at this song, the lyrics are so...idk, just totally fit with what I was, and am, and will surely continue to be going through. Let me fill you in:

"You are good, You are good
When there's nothing good in me
You are love, You are love
On display for all to see
You are light, You are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope, You are hope
You have covered all my sin

You are peace, You are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true, You are true
Even in my wandering
You are joy, You are joy
You're the reason that I sing
You are life, You are life,
In You death has lost it's sting

Oh, I'm running to Your arms,
I'm running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

You are more, You are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord, You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here, You are here
In your presence I'm made whole
You are God, You are God
Of all else I'm letting go

Oh, I'm running to Your arms
I'm running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

I'm running to Your arms
I'm running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

My heart will sing
no other name
Jesus, Jesus

My heart will sing
no other name
Jesus, Jesus
Oh, let it be true

Oh, I'm running to Your arms
I'm running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

My heart will sing
no other name
Jesus, Jesus
Let it be true

My heart will sing (My heart will sing)
no other name
Jesus, Jesus

I'm running to Your arms
I'm running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign
Forever Reign!

My heart will sing
no other name
Jesus, Jesus"
 It was a toss up between this and "Listen to the sound (of hope that's rising)". I thought of this song first ....mostly because this was the song playing at the time... so this is the one I chose. It is very comforting to me to know that no matter what I am going through, whether I feel alone, whether I'm afraid, whether I stumble, He is there and He is good and He will always be there to hold me in His powerful and loving embrace forever and ever and ever!! AANNDDDD, as for the daisies, it is my constant reminder that HE LOVES ME! Nothing I have ever done and nothing I could ever do would make Him love me less..EVER!! It that amazing or what?! Anyways, for those of you who actually read this, I have taken up enough of your time and I will stop typing now, I promise...
