Population Me

I've been slack with my blogging lately!  I pretty much had to work all of last weekend and so I've been spending every free moment NOT at the computer. :-) 

Lately I've been struggling with selfishness.....It's all about me.   I was driving home from work the other day and I heard a song that I had not heard in a while but needed to hear. It really spoke to me right there in my car.  Here are the lyrics and the video if you are interested.....

My Own Little World

In my own little world it hardly ever rains,
I’ve never gone hungry; always felt safe
I got some money in my pocket
shoes on my feet
In my own little world
Population me

I try to stay awake through the Sunday morning church
I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give ’til it hurts
and I turn off the news when I don’t like what I see
it’s easy to do when it’s population me


What if there’s a bigger picture?
What if I’m missing out?
What if there’s a greater purpose
I could be living right now,
outside my own little world?


Stopped at a red light, looked out my window
Outside the car, saw a sign, said “Help this homeless widow”
Just above this sign was the face of a human
I thought to myself, “God, what have I been doing?”


So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye
Oh how many times have I just passed her by?
I gave her some money then I drove on through
in my own little world there’s Population two...


Father break my heart for what breaks Yours
Give me open hands and open doors
Put Your light in my eyes and let me see
That my own little world is not about me
