So, I was heading out to Clear Lake with Emma and Grace for Em's music contest, and stopped at Casey's to fill with gas and pick up a few donuts. When I went in to pay, I saw our pastor, and spoke with him for a minute. I mentioned to him that I was listening to his CD whenever I was driving the car (he is, after all, a member of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.) Anyway, when I got into the car, Emma said, "I know you told Pastor Steve you were listening to his CD, but is it ok if I put in (Garth Brooks) Scarecrow? " I said yes, because one of the songs on that album is what we call "Emma's Song." Usually we replay that song, over and over, and never make it to the last song on the album.
Turns out, The Lord wanted to bless me this afternoon through the words of Garth Brooks. I think it might be called On a Prayer (but I'm not really sure). But as I was driving up 212 towards Kranzburg, I heard these words: "There's a moment, we all come to, in our own time and our own space, where all that we've done, can be undone, if our heart's in the right place." So there I was with tears streaming down my face, as The Lord reminded me of my own time and my own space, when He took all those things that I had done, things that shamed me, and hurt me and others, and undid those things. He took the sins I had committed, every one of them, and paid for them! The very moment my heart sought his, and asked forgiveness--he immediately responded!
There is a particularly stubborn soul, who has been my husband's friend for years, and for whose salvation I have been praying since 2008. Ernie, I hope and pray that you will quickly come to your own time and space, and realize that God is waiting for your heart to be right so that he can forgive you, too.
"On a prayer, in a song, I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on..." Thank you, Lord.
