I'm sure I'm way behind the times, but I just got the new Caedmon's Call cd, Overdressed. I had seen the lyrics of the song below on another blog and decided I wanted it for my birthday. I can't even tell you how much this song is ministering to my soul right now. I have a feeling that others of you also could use the encouragement of these lyrics.
Sacredthis house is a good mess
it's the proof of life
no way would I trade jobs
but it don't pay overtime
I'll get to the laundry
I don't know when
i'm saying a prayer tonight
cause tomorrow it starts again
could it be that everything is sacred?
and all this time
everything i've dreamed of
has been right before my eyes
the children are sleeping
but their running through my mind
the sun makes them happy
and the music makes them unwind
my cup runneth over
and I worry about the stain (ouch!)
teach me to run to You
like they run to me for every little thing (ouch again!)
could it be that everything is sacred?
and all this time
everything i've dreamed of
has been right before my eyes
when I forget to drink from You
i can feel the banks harden
Lord, make me like a stream
to feed the garden
wake up, little sleeper
the Lord, God Almighty
made your Mama keeper so rise and shine
rise and shine cause
could it be that everything is sacred?
and all this time
everything i've dreamed of
has been right before my eyes

Wow. Thank you, Nancy!
that is beautiful. i'm looking forward to hearing it!
thanks nancy. i have really been wrestling with these thoughts. could it be that all God wants me to be doing right now is being a momma to these three kids? surely there is some other kingdom work i should be doing. but the Bible seems to focus an awful lot on showing us how much God values children. i have a lot to learn.
I'll ask for this CD for my birthday.
I've enjoyed the pictures of you from Amelie!
