In the Early Hours of the Morning...

Is not when I wrote this blog, but that's when I got up this morning. It was about 4:30, the sun-forsaken hours of the morning. What I didn't realize when I woke up this morning (even though I only got 3 hours of sleep) is that God was taking care of me, even then. Sometimes, I hear some people call early hours of the morning "the God-forsaken hour of ____". I realize that He never forsakes me, even when I'm too sleepy and sinful to think about my heavenly Father. He always takes care of me. He watches over my soul and my life, even when I'm falling into sin or despair. I think, however short I make this blog (only a few more sentences), I've realized that He loves me more than I'll ever know. More than my finite human mind could ever comprehend. After nearly 5 years in His arms, I've never regreted being in God's fold. I've doubted His promises because I'm a sinner, but I've never regreted it. He wraps His arms around me so tight, how could I possibly regret? There's no way I'm going back to the way I was. Which will tie in really nicely to the lyrics for today.

Lyrics for Today:
It's not the end
But it feels like it is
I'm waking up
Like I'm back from the dead
I'm stepping out
And I feel so afraid But as long as I'm moving it's alright

I feel alive
And it hurts for a change
And looking back and it's hard to believe
That I was cool
With the days that I wasted complacent and tasteless and bored
but that was yesterday

We're never going back to OK
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to OK

This discontent
Like a slap in the face
Of mediocre
I've had enough of this place
This party's over
And I'm moving away from the frills of you Beverly Hills
but that was yesterday

We're never going back to OK
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to OK

We're here to stay
This is our time
Our only life
Our chance to live

We're never going back to OK
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to OK

"Never Going Back to OK" -The Afters

P.S.
I also highly recommend these guys. I haven't heard much of their new album but their old one (I Wish We All Could Win) is fantastic.
