oh you bring.

Oh God. You always seem to know exactly what I need right when I need it. You show yourself in a tangible way that lets me know I am not alone. That what I am doing and what I am up against is for your glory. That what I am doing is not done for nothing, but is done to praise you. Music is such a big part of my life and I feel like this song has been my anthem recently.

Oh You bring hope to the hopeless

And light to those in the darkness

And death to life

Now I'm alive

Oh You give peace to the restless

And joy to homes that are broken

I see You now

In You I'm found

And You opened the door for me

And You laid down

Your life to set me free

All that I am will serve You Lord

And You opened my eyes to see

All the wonder and awe of Christ in me

Jesus You're everything I need

Oh You fill those who are empty

And rescue those in the valley

And through it all You calm my soul

Oh You find me in my weakness

And heal the wounds of my heartache

I worship You in spirit and truth

All honour

All glory

All praise to You

Today, God gave me exactly what I needed. A reason to keep on going. I had a parent come in who had to sign some IEP paperwork, so he stopped in to meet me. Never met him before, but he came up to me and said, "It's so nice to meet the person who is having such a huge influence on my son's life. We have seen so many positive and good changes since he started in your classroom. Thank you so much for all you are doing."

Wow. That could not have come at a better time. When life is crazy, I'm preparing for conferences, staying up super late getting things ready, and living and breathing school. This is exactly what I needed to hear to push me through the next week. I can make it.

Thank you God helping me to feel your arms around me.
