Anchors of Faith: Restore

Hey there! I felt compelled to share a song that I heard at a concert tonight! The Redeemed Tour with Big Daddy Weave, Chris August, and Citizen Way came to our small town! Crazy right?! Well the song I wanna share with you is one that Chris August wrote and sang tonight and it just really touched my heart...

Here are the lyrics...

Nobody's growing old together,

We've made it easy just to quit

Love has become a negative percentage,

Why do we bother to commit

We've got a long list of excuses,

Ways we try to justify

Well, I propose to you the truth is,

Marriage does not have to die

I know you're feeling like it's falling apart

And it can't go on anymore

But God is a God who knows how to heal

So just give it up to the Lord

And He will restore

He said with this ring I promise,

And with I do she said forever

But right now if they're being honest

They don't know if they'll stay together

Let's fast forward to the future

After struggling on their own

They finally figured out they needed

Jesus in the middle

Now I'm watching God rebuild their home

I know you're feeling like it's falling apart

And it can't go on anymore

But God is a God who knows how to heal

So just give it up to the Lord

And He will restore

The enemy tries to come and divide

Trying to get us give up the fight

But darkness will always lose out to light

Cause we've got the power of Christ

On our side

I see you growing old together

I pray I find a love like yours

So if you're feeling like it's falling apart

And it can't go on anymore

But God is a God who knows how to heal

So just give it up to the Lord

And He will restore

Like it was before

You may have strayed off course

But He will restore

Here's the song if you wanna listen to it...

Now I'm not married or even in a relationship, but this song just spoke so deeply to my heart! There is so so much truth in the words! I believe in the sanctity of marriage, one woman and one man being united in love through Christ! What's amazing about the man who wrote this song (Chris August) is that he is not married yet either but his heart obviously felt so deeply about this that he had to write a song about it! This man has so much talent as a singer, and he's not too bad of a comedian either! ;) People always ask me if I've got a boyfriend yet, or anyone that I'm serious about and my answer is always no. No one has caught my attention, and quite honestly I'm just content to let God put that right guy in my life at the right time. And well, if that never happens then it is obviously God's will and I was meant to do something else with my life than be a wife and mother! I don't need a guy to define who I am... I know who I am, a daughter of God, and that's what gives me peace about not having the right guy in my life yet! I'm content to wait on my Boaz...

"To all the girls who are in a hurry to have a boyfriend or get married, a piece of Biblical advice:

"Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz."

While you are waiting on YOUR Boaz, don't settle for any of his relatives; Broke-az, Po-az, Lyin-az, Cheating-az, Dumb-az, Drunk-az, Cheap-az, Lockedup-az, , Goodfornothing-az, Lazy-az, and especially his third cousin Beatin'yo-az. Wait on your Boaz and make sure he respects Yoaz."
