Only happy in the Sun

I was listening to my Ben Harper "Diamonds on the Inside" CD as I was cleaning my apartment today and last song on the CD - "She's Only Happy in the Sun" - really spoke to me today. And I want to share with you some of the lyrics from it:

"Did you find what you were after
the pain and the laughter brought
you to your knees
but if the Sun sets you free
you'll be free indeed

She's only happy in the Sun"


Just in that verse lies so much truth! When your faith and beliefs are in Christ, the Son of God, the SON DOES SET YOU FREE!!! There is freedom in the Lord, and in Him and Him alone is where my true happiness, my JOY, lies!!

And it just makes me smile that the Lord can use even Ben Harper and his music to speak to me...what a wonderful Father the Lord is!

Congratulations on the new job! Very exciting to read that the Lord continues to use you in incredible ways! We serve a truly Soveriegn Lord and Savior. Gig'em and God Bless!

Psalm 13 (ESV)
How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him," lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
