Make me broken
So I can be healed
‘Cause I’m so calloused
And now I can’t feel
I want to run to You
With heart wide open
Make me broken
Make empty
So I can be filled
‘Cause I’m still holding
Onto my will
And I’m completed
When you are with me
Make me empty
Make me lonely
So I can be Yours
‘Til I want no one
More than You, Lord
‘Cause in the darkness
I know You will hold me
Make me lonely
‘Til You are my one desire
‘Til You are my one true love
‘Til You are my breath, my everything
L0rd, please keep making me

I can't get this song out of my head. It's what pops out lately whenever I start to randomly sing. It's a catchy tune but when I stop to think about the words I get a bit nervous! This really is the cry of my heart, but lately I'm feeling a bit weary and kind of sore. I'm not sure I want more 'making' for a while.
Last Saturday was a beautiful, almost spring day in NZ so Steve and Adam mowed the lawn and pulled weeds at Steve's sister's holiday home where we're staying. Adam stumbled up the stairs the next morning moaning and groaning whenever he moved. He's still sore today. Since he's one of those perpetual motion nine-year olds I was surprised, but I guess he used muscles that he hadn't for a while.
Sore muscles. They're a good thing because they make you stronger. Sore hearts/spirits? I guess they make you stronger too. And that in the long run is good.
