Sorry for the little hiatus there. Hopefully I'll be back to blogging this week.

After about wearing out my new Jars of Clay cd, I decided to listen to something that I haven't listened to in a while and pulled out Shawn McDonald's Simply Nothing. It's an older cd, but I think it's still really good. It's very simple -- mostly acoustic guitar with a sprinkling of piano and strings. Today's song is one of my favorite worship songs from the disc.

I know for me, whenever I'm not feeling the presense of God, it generally has to do with my posture. Am I closed off, or am I actively seeking His company? Certainly there are times when I feel like He is hiding His face from me, but generally I find those are the times when I haven't been digging in and looking for Him or standing with my arms crossed, waiting to see what He'll do next. However, I can definitely relate to the pleading in this song.
