Mondays are long days for me. I get up way before this first light of dawn, ready myself for my day, drive an hour away to begin 8 1/2 hours of classes/lessons with, by the end of the day, over 60 students ranging in age from 5-16. In addition, I'm running up and downs 2 flights of stairs a number of times throughout the day, dancing, moving, singing, directing, and usually find only a brief moment of two for a quick bite to eat or a run to the restroom. Then, I come home. Needless to say, I'm exhausted by the time I empty my car, walk through the door and settle in for the night with a good cup of coffee and some solitude. But days that are emotionally charged or challenging leave me with little else to do but settle into the hands of God, knowing that nothing is spiraling out of control, beyond His watchful eyes or His righteous right hand.
"I stand amazed to think the King of Glory would come to live within the heart of men. I marvel just to know He really loves me, when I think of who He is and who I am. He's more wonderful than my mind can conceive, He's more wonderful than my heart can believe! He goes beyond my highest hopes and fondest dreams. He's everything that my soul ever longed for, everything that He promised and so much more. He's more than amazing, more than marvelous, more than miraculous could ever be. He's more than wonderful...that's what Jesus is to me." (http://youtu.be/Vm3pcE-yx_I?t=35s)
So here I sit in my kitchen and I find myself in tears, as I go back to some of the first moments of my life...the life I live for the glory of the One Who saved me and walks with me. This song, though 20-some years old, says everything my heart can't express. Do you know Him? He is, truly, more than wonderful!
