Simply Remind Me: Do you need to be revived, too?

Things are supposed to slow down after school’s out, right? It doesn’t seem that way so far and it’s only been 2 days.

But I’ve still be counting joys and I’m still wanting to get them recorded because it’s important to me to keep focus on the good things in every-day life.

It’s the discipline.

Or is it the routine I need? A new routine needs to start now that it’s summertime. During that routine, I need the discipline of reading and learning about His grace. I need the discipline to journal. I think I wouldn’t be a happy person to live or be with if I didn’t. It’s renews me.

I love the words to this worship song:

You revive me, You revive me Lord
And all my deserts are rivers of joy
You are the treasure I could not afford
So I’ll spend myself till I’m empty and poor
All for You, You revive me Lord
Lord I have seen Your goodness and I know the way You are
Give me eyes to see You in the dark
And Your face shines a glory that I only know in part
And there is still a longing, a longing in my heart

I’m alive
I’m alive
You breathe on me
You revive me

(Words & Music : Audrey Assad, Chris Tomlin, Matt Maher and I love sung by our worship leaders at church but I don’t have a recording of that but I also enjoy it sung by Christy Nockels – click on to hear it too)

What renews or revives you? (I’d love to hear what refreshes and revives you…feel free to comment below!)
