A Full Heart

I am having one of those full-hearted moments... they don't happen all that often and overwhelm me when they do!  My sweet boys are outside pulling weeds- I can see them through my bedroom window, Luke's hat turned backwards digging in the dirt with Daddy, having deep conversations about spiders and rocks.  I just talked to my sweet sister in law who is about to meet her first born, my first nephew, in 2 more days!  I am overwhelmed by God's provision in Chris and Christy's life and look forward to how little Caleb is going to change them forever- in 2 days!  I am sewing Cori's Christmas stocking, listening to Hilsong-- my mind is flashing to all those moments that God has blown me away- my marriage, my children, my friends and family, trip to Romania, provision after provision.  God is great and even if all of those things were stripped of me, He is still Great.  I remember typing the song that touched me when I was pregnant with Luke, and the one that surrounds me now is this:

THE GREATNESS OF OUR GOD

Give me eyes to see
More of who you are
May what i behold
Still my anxious heart.
Take what i have known
And break it all apart
For you my god are greater still.

No sky contains
No doubt restrains
All you are
The greatness of our god.
I spend my life to know
And i'm far from close
To all you are
The greatness of our god.

Give me grace to see
Beyond this moment here.
To believe that there
Is nothing left to fear.
That you alone are high above it all.
For you my god are greater still.

Thank you Lord for who you are.  Thank you for moments when I see you-- help Brent and I to take these moments and praise you in front of our kids.  Let us trust you in all things- right now and for our future.  Thank you for directing each moment and let us always rest in your loving, protective, gracious arms.
