God gets me every time. Have I told you lately how awesome He is? Well, GOD ROCKS!
This morning I read the scriptures and went about my day. Holly and I had a wonderful time touring historic St. Augustine and Flagler College. We had a three hour ride home, so in between great and insightful mother/daughter conversations that meant that there was plenty of music to be listened to.
One song that I wish I could have rewound over and over again that came over the XM radio was Rascal Flatts song, “Changed”. Let’s just say, “I LOVE it!” And it goes perfectly with the scriptures from this morning.
In Matthew 3:8 I read where John the Baptist was telling the Pharisees and Sadducees, “Change your hearts! And show by the way you live that you have changed.” That is soooo how we need to live too.
Here are the lyrics to the song, “Changed”. Please read and then click on the link to hear the song.
I came up out of the water
Raise my Hands up to the father
Gave it all to him that day
Felt a new wind kiss my face
Walked away, Eyes wide open
Could finally see where I was going
Didn’t matter where I been I’m not the same man I was then.
I got off track, I made mistakes
Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost
Lines get crossed
And the pain won’t go away
I hit my knees, Now here I stand
There I was, now here I am
Here I am
Changed
I got a lot of “hey I’m sorry”
The things I’ve done man that was not me
I wish I could take it all back
I just want to tell em’ that
I got off track, I made mistakes
Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost
Lines get crossed
And the pain won’t go away
I hit my knees, Now here I stand
There I was, now here I am
Here I am
Changed
I’ve changed for the better
More Smiles, that’s better
I even started to forgive myself
I hit my knee, I’m here I stand
There I was, now here I am
Here I am, Here I am, Here I am
Changed
Yes I am
I’m changed for the better.

See, I told you God was awesome. He gave me the perfect song to go with His teachings.
I hope you will live a “changed” life. Live for God!
