Word of God Speak!

I really shouldn't be doing this, BUT I really HAVE to! Every spare moment (literally) since my last post has been spent getting ready for school, lesson plans, etc. On that front just PRAY!

We are being required to use a format that takes me anywhere from 10-15 hours a week just to type up my plans to turn in (writing them in the same format would take even longer). I have 25-28 pages of lesson plans EVERY week. That doesn't count taking the time to actually prepare and gather materials, etc. Gone are the days of the plan book where you can see all of your plans for the week in two facing pages!

Enough of that, because that is not what this post is about. This morning things were going relatively well for a morning around this house. Lily was finishing up breakfast and we were ahead of schedule by about 10 minutes - Can you believe it? I have started playing our local Christian radio station, Spirit FM, constantly in the last few days. I was checking my e-mail quickly while Lily finished up and "Word of God Speak" came on the radio.

I thought Lily started talking and started to fuss at her for not eating when she said this: "I'm singing mommy!" I checked my spirit and breathed out and thought - school can wait. THIS is TOO important! We "sang" the rest of the song together. I asked her if she liked that song. She smiled and grinned while nodding her head.

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

[CHORUS]
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice

[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay

Thank you God for a sweet beginning to my day (especially after last evening's pity party)!

Sorry for the lack of pictures. I haven't taken any since Steve left for Canada. IF you happen to read this tonight, pray especially hard. It is nearly 9:30 and I could work until midnight and still not be done with plans. Pray for focus, perseverance, and wisdom (on when to stop) considering my alarm will be going on before 6 AM.
