I could start this with a number of questions or cliches. But this morning my God decided to give me a kiss. A gift. Something to bless my heart. I got in my car and immediately my two little dears began asking for mommy to put on the "soup song" and "I'm not perfect". Both of which I don't think are real song titles but are their favorite Laurie Berkner songs of the week. Mommy of course has misplaced the CD with these songs on it (not on purpose might I add). As I start the car, "The Revelation Song" comes on sung by Kari Jobe. My four year old princess immediately belts out "holy, holy, holy is the Lord, God Almighty! Who was and is, and is to come!" My heart screams, "Yes! Lord! Bring it!" When she opened her voice today and sang the words, that there were rolls of thunder and flashes of lightening! The tears roll down my cheeks. And, of course, it is picture day at my school where I work, and I chose today to wear mascara, eye liner, the whole shabang! This is it! This is amazing!
We left this morning before the sun woke. This also was pointed out as we packed the car for our journey to preschool and daycare this morning. "Mommy, is it almost night time?" No punkin pie. It's morning. It is early. Mommy has Bible Study this morning. And mommy has struggled with finding the time to delve into this weeks study and see it really working in her life. So this morning God decided to give a real life lesson!
What can break your heart? And bring you joy in the same instant? It was a gift from the indescribable power of our universe who created every living thing that ever has and will be that decided to have that be the first song on my radio this morning. He knew I needed that. Why? Because He wants me to know that I am loved.
"God has written the Romance not only on our hearts but all over the world around us. What we need is for him to open our eyes, to open our ears that we might recognize his voice calling to us, see his hand wooing us in the beauty that quickens our hearts." From the book Captivating by John and Stasi Eldridge
I have no doubt that this is what God did for me today. I have been transformed by the greatest Romance that ever was and ever will be through a four year old beautiful little girl singing about the love of a savior.
