I need you!

So I need you
Like a needle needs a vein
Like my uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
And I need you
Like a lighthouse on a coast
Like the father and the son need the Holy Ghost
I need you

I heard these lyrics to this Tim McGraw song last night on the way home. It's a love song but these particular lyrics reminded me of how much I need God in my life.

Particularly during this holiday season!

I think if I didn't I'd be so lost. I was reflecting and don't think I've spent nearly enough time this holiday season just being still and focusing on what this season is about.

Up to this point was just trying to survive the end of this semester of school.
Thinking about that next gift I need to buy.
Thinking of my to-do list.
Wondering how this December is just flying buy.
Checking my mailbox for that next Christmas card.
Working on my laundry piling up.
Getting bills paid.
Getting food in the fridge.
Working.
Keeping a clean house.

But truly, putting all that aside.... this season....

So I need you
Like a needle needs a vein
Like my uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain (though I don't have a Uncle Joe, ha)
And I need you
Like a lighthouse on a coast
Like the father and the son need the Holy Ghost
I need you

So in the midst of shopping this weekend, family get togethers, church, meeting with friends, and the craziness of this weekend, I'll still need him....

What about you???
