One last thought...

I have been thinking about the title of my blog. I may have, at one time in the past three years of blogging, mentioned why I have named my blog A Rushing Wind. If I have, please forgive the redundancy of this post then.

I grew up listening to Christian and secular music. But the greatest influence was that of Christian singer Keith Green. To this very day there is something convicting about his music that really speaks to my heart. But none like the song Rushing Wind. If you have never heard of Keith Green or his music, feel free to check him on youtube.com. So here are the lyrics that inspired the title of my blog.

RUSHING WIND
by Keith Green

Rushing wind blow through this temple,
Blowing out the dust within,
Come and breathe you breath upon me,
I've been born again.

Holy spirit, I surrender, take me where you want to go,
Plant me by your living water,
Plant me deep so I can grow.

Jesus, you're the one, who sets my spirit free,
Use me lord, glorify, your holy name through me.

Separate me from this world lord.
Sanctify my life for you.
Daily change me to your image,
Help me bear good fruit.

Every day you're drawing closer.
Trials come to test my faith.
But when all is said and done lord,
You know, it was worth the wait.

Jesus, you're the one, who set my spirit free,
Use me lord, glorify, your holy name through me.

Rushing wind blow through this temple,
Blowing out the dust within,
Come and breathe you breath upon me,
For I've been born again.

That is a wonderful song. Thanks for sharing about the history behind the name. I am sad that I jumped into blogging so blindly...wish I had known more before naming and starting my blog. Giving it more purpose...like yours. I love it!
