I was driving into work this morning. I rounded a bend and I drove into a bank of fog. It was so thick, like a soup. I was lost in gray, hazy nothingness. It was terrifying. I lost all my bearings.
I caught my breath, looked around, and the only thing I could find in all the fog was the sun. It tore through the thickness with a burning orange light. There was the sun... and then there was the wall of this world that I was lost in. I focused, relaxed and drove through the mist safely back down the roadway to work.
Now, on the other side of the wall of fog, I am left thinking about the larger metaphor and where I am now in my life... and my walk... if you can really call it a walk at all... with my Savior. I am left searching through this fog... and the only thing that matters is the SON.
--- Not my cool new shoes.
--- Not my brand new cellphone.
--- Not my shirt from the buckle.
--- Not my weight loss or how much bigger my arms are...
Those things haven't brought me out of my fog. They only have left me searching. I need the sun... I need the SON burning orange hot through my fog.
So... I do not walk back tonight. I RUN BACK. I am the prodigal. I see Him and I will beg to but be as a servant feeding the swine. Tonight I run back through the fog.
I'm coming back to the heart of worship and its all about you... all about you Jesus!

JEREMY CAMP, LET IT FADE:
Have you been walking on a surface that's uncertain?
Have you helped yourself to everything that's empty?
You can't live this way too long.
There's more than this, more than this.
Have you been standing on your own feet too long?
Have you been looking for a place where you belong?
You can rest, you will find rest.
You can rest, you will find rest.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Let this new life offered be your saving grace.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade, let it fade.
Have you been holding on to what this world has offered?
Have you been giving in to all these masquerades?
It will be gone, forever gone.
It will be gone, it will be gone
Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Let this new life offered be your saving grace.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade, let it fade.
Let it fade.
Are you carrying the weight too much?
Are you running from the call?
Let it fade, Oh yeah.
You can rest, you will find rest.
You can rest you will find rest.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Let this new life offered be your saving grace.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade, let it fade.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Have you been standing on your own feet too long?
Have you been looking for a place where you belong?
Reminded me of you this morning.
