why so ordinary...

Welcome to my blog...My hope for this blog is that God would use it to speak to you and to keep you updated on what He's doing in my midst, especially on this new adventure we're on to Puerto Rico. The title of my blog is inspired by a song by Griffin House. The lyrics are as follows...

All of my life

I’ve been a fool
Breaking myself
To follow your rules
And I beat myself up
When I can’t find the strength
When I can’t seem to change
The harder I think
Let me get this straight
Let me feel the weight of an ordinary day
‘Cause I’ve tried to heal this thing
But you let me slip away
When I run away
You just let me run
And I take it too far
By the time I am done
And I understand
I’m thick in the skull
But I’m learning to love
The sound of your call
Let me get this straight
Let me feel the weight of an ordinary day
‘Cause I’ve tried to heal this thing
But you let me slip away
I fear rejection and I up my defenses
I look for healing in the human touch
When will I learn to face the consequences?
Of trying to love you and failing so much
I’m trying to love you but I’m failing so much
Let me get this straight
Let me feel the weight of an ordinary day
‘Cause I’ve tried to heal this thing
But you let me slip away
Let me slip away
Over and over and over again
I’m biting the hand that’s pulling me in
Over and over and over again
Believe in the hand that’s pulling me in


This song represents my life, as head to PR, as I sit here in FL...There is GREAT WEIGHT in an ordinary day. Because the ironic thing is...it's not so ordinary. Not one moment of it. Lord, teach us that every day has such an incredible purpose and has great importance...so together let's examine every "ordinary" day...
