Waking up with a worship song in your head is the best feeling ever. Period. End of story.
At least to me. It's been happening lately, every day. I go to sleep dreaming and thinking about way too much and I wake up-all of that removed-and am at peace.
That happened today. I went to bed, the weight of the world felt like it was crashing down. But when I woke up I was OK. I was better thank OK, I was great.
Oddly enough, I felt removed from the situation. In the valley there was a battle, but I was on the hilltop, staring down, mourning over the losses, cheering at the joys.
- I've never had this feeling before, but when I got home today, I did not want to do my homework. I wanted to do everything besides my homework.
- So, I did. For a while anyway, until my sister snitched on me and told my mom I was writing a letter. You gotta love her.
- So then I finished my math homework (which, might I add, took forever) and went around my room looking for envelopes.
- An odd thing to look for, but I was thinking about how many envelopes I had to be safe that I had more than plenty to write to my pen(cil)-pal, Lovely Leah. (Rest assured Leah, I have enough envelopes to last me writing you a life time. And some.)
- WE HAVE 17 FOLLOWERS!!!!
- Today was a pretty good day, to be sure. After I wrote that last blog I felt like a veil was lifting and I needed to do something that would reap benefits to more people than just myself.
- So I read my bible. I read Romans 8, actually. But I wasn't done there. I read Psalms 89, and Ecclesisastes 3, then I read from 1Peter. I couldn't stop myself because no matter what I read it had meaning. It dug deep into my soul, sifted around a bit, and came back up, making my heart feel ten times lighter.
- It made me think of Barlow Girls song "I Don't Regret". Part of the song goes like this:
Nothing has come when I chose its that in me I'd trust
Separate me You have called out to follow You blindly
I won't fear You're leading me
I don't regret choosing You
And I'm not ashamed
That it's You who holds my heart
You have shown my ever wondering heart what love is
What on earth is more important than to have all of you
- Barlow Girls wraps up my life. I really encourage you, Dear Reader, to listen to this song.
- Ryan's words won't leave my head and I think they were really meant for me. Specifically for me.
- "How badly do you want it?"
- Enough said.

I wake up every morning to "Lead Me to the Cross"
it's weird, because usually after about a week I get sick of the song I wake up to. Nope, not this time. I've been doing it for almost two months now.
I am a lover of the Newsboys, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Nicole C. Mulllen. I love their music but whenever I wake up(even when it's to their music) I am crabby until I take a shower. I am glad that that helps you to have a great day. I need to hear the lyrics when I have the time and energy to soak them in. And when I do soak those powerful words in it makes me feel absolutely wonderful!
