At church this past weekend, I couldn't help but be distracted with my two month old. I feel like God is always using something or someone in my life to teach me a lesson. This past Sunday, it was my two and a half month old little girl. I turned her around and she was in awe of the lights, windows, and all the people around. The way she looked around at everything, the way she was so fascinated with it all, made me realize that's how I need to be again...to be in awe of God's creation again....to have that childlike faith. Just looking at her, I couldn't help but wonder, what she was thinking. I would love to know what thoughts were running through that little head of hers. Just think what our world would be like if we all had thoughts like a child again...if we all were in awe of God's creation again. It's amazing to me how easily we take this world and the things in it for granted. But God is lending us all these things for only a short time. These things are here for us to enjoy.
We had a guest pastor and his wife visiting our church. As I was in awe of my child being in awe, the guest pastor's wife came up to sing. She spoke a little about her past and her story. Then she sung a song about, "This is my story.This is my song. Praising my savior all the day long." While I was on my way home later that evening, I heard another song about our story by Hillsong. The lyrics said, "And this will be my story. And this will be my song. My chains are broken. I am free. And this will be my story. And this will be my song. I'll praise You my Savior Jesus. Take my life but give me Jesus. To know You God is why I live. Take the world but give me Jesus. For all my days I'll follow You "
God uses our stories. He wants us to live because of him and for him. He wants us to follow him so He can use our story.
