30 Days of Me: Day One

We're switchin' it up here on Bekah's Bits. I can't write about the desert every day. I've been writing about the darkest part of it and it's excruciating to write...and some of my good friends have told me it's really hard for them to read because they know the end of the story and seeing my struggle makes them sad.

Now.

God told me to write about it so I don't want to go be disobedient on Him and give up telling the desert story. But I don't think He'll be upset with me for not writing about it every day. So we're going to try switching it up a bit for a while.

While reading some blogs the other day, I found a couple who were doing a project called "30 Days of Me." I thought it looked kind of fun, so I'll try it. Won't visit the list every day, but every few days I'll throw in some Bekah trivia.

Day One on the 30 day list? My favorite song.

Are you stinkin' kidding me? I have to pick ONE? Especially after this summer and all the songs that spoke to me?

Okay. Here's my compromise.

My favorite song(s). (Today.)

You are so going to roll your eyes when you find out these are both Gaither Vocal Band songs. But hey, my undying love for the GVB is something you've grown to love about me. Right?

These songs are both on their newest project: Greatly Blessed.

This first song is called Please Forgive Me and I'll admit I was first captured by the goose-bump-inducing vocals smack in the middle of the song. (Love that David!!) But after I listened to it approximately 402 times to just hear that part, I started listening to the words.

Please forgive me. I need Your grace to make it through. All I have is You...I'm at Your mercy. Lord, I'll serve You, until my dying day. Help others find a way...I'm at your mercy. Please forgive me.

Oh man. I have cried and cried over this song in the past few weeks. They sang this one when they were at IWU, and I loved every moment of it.




And also from this album, there's a song called, I Know How to Say Thank You. I tried to find it on YouTube, but I couldn't find the album version. I did, however, find this version with Sarah DeLane and Marshall Hall. I don't like it as well, but the words are the same, and they're good.

I know how to say Thank You. I know a blessing when I see one. I'm a recipient of grace through the hours and the days. I know how to say Thank You.

God's been teaching me to be thankful for this season of my life and all it has accomplished, despite its deep pain. And I do know how to say thank you.
