Dream Chasers

The question came up last night with friends what was the highlight of our summer. In my self-absorbed shallowness I said it will be the triathlon. Don't get me wrong...I am super excited about it. I am amazed that I haven't quit by now. But, the real joy has been actually enjoying my kids. Joy has come from growing in my relationship with God. Joy will be when I get to share His truth with a friend in a hurting place. There is nothing in this world that I could accomplish that compares with following Jesus. Here are the lyrics to the song that changed my life at the Women's Retreat a few years ago:
One Pure And Holy Passion

Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me one magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You

Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me on magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You

To know and follow hard after you
To grow as your dicsiple in your truth
This world is empty, pale, and poor
Compared to knowing you, my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after you
Lead me on and I will run after you

Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me one magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after you
To know and follow hard after you
To grow as your disciple in the truth
This world is empty, pale, and poor
Compared to knowing you my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after you

Lord to know and follow hard after you
And to grow as your disciple in your truth
This world is empty, pale, and poor
Compared to knowing you my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after you
Lead me on and I will run after you
Lead me on and I will run after you
