Well for todays eye opening moment you must first have a bit of the history ....
In the mornings that Micah has to be out of the house early and nicely dressed WE ALWAYS fight. There is always something Micah is looking for and his demands for me to find it for him get under my skin first thing in the morning.
Well this morning what no different than any other morning as far as Micah looking for his shoes, his belt, wallet, phone... and it was no different that I was running around looking for them ... it was also no different that he was getting under my skin, BUT what WAS different was that in my moment of weakness, the moment I was losing my self control AT THAT moment I silently called out to God to calm my heart and he spoke right to my heart w/ lyrics to a song. AMAZING how God always knows what method to communicate with me!
Anyway the song was a song He gave to Ginny Owens, in fact it was the first song I ever heard her sing many many years ago...
Turnin' molehills into mountains,
Makin' big deals out of small ones,
Bearing gifts as if they're burdens,
This is how it's been.
Fear of coming out of my shell,
Too many things I can't do too well,
afraid I'll try real hard, and I'll fail--
This is how it's been.
Till the day You pounded on my heart's door,
And You shouted joyfully,
"You're not a slave anymore!"
Thank you Lord for speaking to my heart this morning! Thank you for helping me remain calm and for keeping my rebellious spirit controlled.
