There are times in my life when it seems like God uses people, words, circumstances, songs, what have you, to get my attention and speak to my heart and that has been happening in the last few days.
The first thing was that I received a card in the mail from my Mom and on the front of the card it says "Every sunrise is proof that God is still in the miracle business". On the inside she wrote words of encouragement and love and reminded me that she is praying for me and hoping with me. It seems like whenever I am going through a hard time I never have to tell her. She just knows. And she prays for me. I am sure there is a lot in my life that hasn't happened or has happened or things I have been saved from and help that I have gotten that has all happened because she prays. I also believe that I will never know how many hours she has prayed for me. I do know though that I am so thankful that she IS praying and hoping and that she is such a huge source of support. Thank you Mom. Thank you for the reminder, for your words, for your prayers, for your love. Love you.
The second thing was reading a post by a young woman who is doing her DTS with YWAM in Mexico. Her post was titled "Turn that frown upside down". The whole post was so good and it was challenging. There was one sentence that jumped right off the page at me and the sentence was "I don't want to waste any more time complaining about the things that God has blessed me with". Ouch! It is so true though! How often do I let my longing to be a mommy and to hold my baby cloud my eyes and heart from seeing the many blessings I already have. Instead of living in the moment and being thankful and in awe of all that God has done I long and yearn and at times cry and get frustrated. May I not waste any more time! Instead of taking my blessings for granted and longing for more may I be so aware of this life I have and the privilege I have of living it!
The third was a song that we sang in church this morning. We had communion in church today and it is always an emotional time for me. I love how we have been doing it there because the worship team leads us in worship and as we feel led we can individually go and take the emblems, spend time in private prayer and then partake as we feel led. It is a much more intimate time between us and the Lord, so very personal. One of the songs sung during that time is one of my favourite worship songs right now. The song is "How Great is Our God" by Chris Tomlin. It was just such a strong reminder to me today that no matter what is going on in my life my heart can still sing how great is our God! I am including the lyrics here for you to read and to remind you that He is worthy of our praise, His name is above all names and that no matter the circumstances our hearts can sing about His greatness.
As I head into this next week with it's stresses and busyness, and knowing that I am still waiting to be a mommy, I am going to try and remember all God has shown me the last few days. May I live in the awareness that God is great, that He is still in the miracle business and may I remember to be thankful for all His amazing blessings.
How Great is Our God
The splendor of the King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end
The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
