like the dragonfly's wings need the wind.

i came to a rather startling realization just the other day...
i need God.
i NEED Him.
not that this is something i've never thought of before, but it just hit me how desperately, constantly, deeply, i need Him.
i can't get through a single day without Him. i can't make a single decision without Him. i certainly can't imagine how empty my life would be if i was living it alone. i'm safe with Him. it is amazing to think about having someone who unconditionally loves me, and is willing to walk every step of my life with me.
i realized how big of a theme that has been in my prayer life lately, and it blew me away. i can't bear the thought of my life without my Father.

because i've noticed this recurring theme, i felt it only appropriate to choose my verse for 2009 around it. so i did some reading and praying, and this is what i came up with...
"my soul, wait in silence for God only,
for my hope is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my stronghold; i shall not be shaken.
on God my salvation and my glory rest;
the rock of my strength,
my refuge is in God.
trust in Him at all times, o people;
pour out your hearts before Him;
God is a refuge for us."
psalm 62:5-8

i have no idea what God has for me this year. none whatsoever. but i'm going to trust that my Father knows what He's doing.
He's in control, and i'm thrilled.
