Where My Heart is Today

Naive by Chris Rice

How long until You defend Your name and set the record right
And how far will You allow the human race to run and hide
And how much can You tolerate our weaknesses
Before You step into our sky blue and say "That’s quite enough!"

Am I naive to want a remedy for every bitter heart
Can I believe You hold an exclamation point for every question mark
And can I leave the timing of this universe in bigger hands
And may I be so bold to ask You to please...hurry?

I hear that a God who’s good would never let the evil run so long
But I say it’s because You’re good You’re giving us more time, yeah
‘Cause I believe that You love to show us mercy
But when will You step into our sky blue
And say "That’s quite enough, and your time is up!"

Am I naive to want a remedy for every bitter heart
Can I believe You hold an exclamation point for every question mark
And can I leave the timing of this universe in bigger hands
And may I be so bold to ask You to please...hurry?

Am I naive...
Can I believe...
And can I leave...in bigger hands
And may I be so bold to ask You, to ask You, to ask You

How long?

Hey sweet friend!

I left you a reply on my blog, but wasn't sure if you would see it. Here's what I wrote to you!

Hi Lisa

It is so good to hear from you!!! I miss you too friend!

I'm not sure how long it will take *us* to do the Bible each day. The author told me to expect about 15 minutes per day to do one lesson in a week. That being said, I'm alright if it takes a little longer - both daily and in terms of how long it takes us to go through a book. He told us that many people will spend one year doing OT and another doing the NT. My curriculum is being shipped so we haven't started it yet. I'll be sure to share more about that when we do. It will probably be August before we start anything.

Yes, I've been unsure about IEW. I bought another curriculum that I liked better a couple of years ago, but I haven't worked it into our days. I'm hoping that the structure of this and the dvds teaching it will be the push I need.

I saw the note about your convention and so wish you could have been at mine instead. (A little far I know!) Love you and am praying for you!

Hugs to you friend!
