How Can I Keep From Singing??

Busy schedule. Everyone tugging from every direction. Christmas list to be made and start shopping. Thanksgiving meal to be planned out and start preparing for. Every day routine sometimes thrown out the window. People close to us are sick or in need of extreme healing. Hurt all around.

This morning was one of the those mornings when I felt that life was spinning out of control. In preparing for a crazy weekend, I received a phone call that threw a curve ball in it! And...the call happened during my quiet time.

I was mad. Who calls this early and don't they know I have MY time with God??

"Mrs. Sarah, I just wanted to let you know that I am in the ICU at Doctor's Hospital and they don't know what is wrong with me."

Heart sinks.

There is a reason why I got that phone call right in that moment. God was reminding me that my time with Him is not supposed to be all about me.

In the midst of chaos, He brings us back to reality.

Then I pick up Jesus Calling needing some profound thoughts and it says:
"This is a time of abundance in your life. Your cup runneth over with blessings. After plodding uphill for many weeks, you are no traipsing through lush meadows drenched in warm sunshine. I want you to enjoy to the full this time of ease and refreshment. I delight in providing it for you."

What?? Obviously this was not for me this morning. Then I felt this overwhelming urge to BE STILL.

For those of you that know me know that this does not come easy for me. Then I heard this sweet voice saying, "your cup runneth over with blessings". I have been given opportunities to share His love in ways that I never thought possible. I am walking in warm sunshine of His love but the "things"of this world were like clouds trying to block that sun.

Thankful for my "come to Jesus meeting this morning".

I go on about my morning and drive to work. Usually I drive in silence but today I turned on the radio and I heard the most perfect song.

A song I couldn't help but sing at the top of my lungs this morning. Here is the You Tube video. I hope you can sing it at the top of your lungs at some point today!! How can I keep from singing when He does this EVERY DAY. Overwhelmed with His love and patience with me!
