Fall Afresh featuring Jeremy Riddle (w/lyrics)

Fall Afresh By: Jeremy Riddle

What a beautiful song! I have heard it so many times. I have heard it on my iPod, Spotify acct and Pandora. There are times however, where it freezes time. No matter what I'm doing or where I am it stops time right there and ministers to me. I can feel the innermost desire begin to stir within me. There are times where I shush it! I tell myself I can't deal with "this" right now. I have to keep it together! I have a patient waiting. I have to make dinner!The phone is ringing! I have to hold it together for those who depend on me! I can't be weak right now! But, I've come to learn that God's gentle nudges become nudges that don't quit. Even if it takes a year to get your attention or longer. And how I thank Him for that! 

I've been feeling His gentle nudges for a little while now. I tend to go through seasons where I can't get enough of Him and His word. Then without even noticing I begin to withdraw from Our time together. Life's demands tend to make this easy. Today towards the end of my work day....the phone began to ring. NONSTOP ring! And of course everyone calling needed some thing right NOW.  I was feeling overwhelmed. Ten more minutes I kept reminding myself. Ten more minutes and then you're done, Mabel. This song comes on and I paused it to take another call.

When I finally get done and head to the car, I plug in my phone and hit my Pandora. The song begins to play where I had paused it. Time froze. My soul began to sing the lyrics and for that moment I could do nothing but cry, Again, I found myself exhausted at all my feeble attempts at EVERYTHING and my Father waiting for me to come find rest. To fall afresh on me, to wake me from my spiritual slumber. Praise you God!
