30 on the 30th

Song: The In Between

Artist: Matt Maher

I saw the first two episodes of The Chosen season 3 at the cinema yesterday. As usual, that show has a way of speaking directly to me, somehow knowing exactly what I'm going through. There is a scene at the very end of the second episode that was so powerful and resonated with me deeply. I can't find a clip right now but wow. If you've had a chance to see the show, it's the conversation between Jesus and "Little" James. It's such a tender moment and I felt such a personal connection to what James was saying and then Jesus' response is just...everything! 💓 Watching this show and seeing the interactions Christ has with people makes me wish I could speak to Him face to face right now. I know I can communicate with him in prayer, but I want to actually be able to see him and feel his embrace. I want to hear Him say He loves me and forgives me and sees the good in me. 

This song played before the show started and I had chills all over my body and tears in my eyes! It's officially been added to the "theme songs of my life" playlist! This is the change I'm praying and hoping for this Christmas. "From darkness to a shine, from fear to a peace...from doubts to a hope...I was one way, but now I am different. There was a clear change in a Holy collision. Who I was, and who I'll forever be. And He was the in between." 🙌🙏💗 This is how I want to go into my new year. Starting life over at 30.

The music video makes me cry every time 🧡😭🙌 (and I've watched a couple of times since yesterday...)

From death to life

From darkness to a shine

From fear to a peace

I can't explain

From doubts to a hope

Holding on and letting go

Of all the empty promises of shame

This is my song

I was one way

But now I am different

There was a clear change in

A Holy collision

Who I was

And who I'll forever be

And He was the in between

(Ooh ooh)

From orphan to Your child

From a stone to running wild

From a seed in the ground

To breaking out

From a mess to a mess

A blessing to a blessing

A sea of failures bearing testimony

This is my song

I was one way

But now I'm different

There was a clear change in

A Holy collision

Who I was

And who I'll forever be

And He was the in between

(Ooh ooh)

Love stretched out

On a tree screaming out

So that I could say

You've not forsaken me

You're the first and the last

My future and my past

Who I was

And who I will forever be

You are the in between

I was one way

But now I am different

There was a clear change in

A Holy collision

Who I was

And who I'll forever be

And You are the in between

I was one way

But now I am different

There was a clear change in

A Holy collision

Who I was

And who I'll forever be

And You are the in between

(Ooh ooh)

You are the in between
