Epiphany

Tuesday of this week marked "Epiphany" on the Christian calendar. According to the dictionary, "Epiphany may refer to a Christian holiday on January 6 (the Twelfth Day of Christmas) celebrating the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus. It may also reference the sudden realization or comprehension of the essence or meaning of something."

Tuesday night was very emotional and cathartic. I had an indescribable encounter. A time of discovering of old wounds I didn't know were there. A time of supernatural healing deep within my heart. Bottom line: I know God is real. I know God loves me.

Check out this song, a prayer to God really, by the group Sanctus Real which gives voice to what's been stirring in me the past few days.

It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time to make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
And all I can do is surrender

(Chorus)
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something Heavenly

Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Reevaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow Your will
Or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is You want from me
I give everything I surrender...
To...

(Chorus)

Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to release all my held back tears

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This is something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly
Something Heavenly

It's time to fix up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
