On Valentines Day my hubby and I decided to go out. We normally do not celebrate, but it has been a particularliy tiring last few weeks for me and Avery's appointment the day before was exhausting, to say the least. So he called me at work and said we were going out. Not because it was Valentines day, but because we needed a date - and that date just happened to fall on February 14th. In the spirit of looking snazzy for my husband I got a new pair of jeans and a new top - he approved.
So we had a wonderful dinner. Enjoyed the 45 minute wait and people watched instead of being aggravated. I ate to my hearts content on bread, serious - I ate almost a whole loaf myself!, and pasta and pizza. Then we decided to check out the local Christian book store to get the new, and last!, David Crowder cd. So sad. We love DCB in this family, specifically the hymns. On this CD he did, Because He Lives. As we were listening, Craig said, you know, you should play this everyday on your way to work. It should be your anthem.
How right he was. My life is not perfect - and not always the way I want it to be. I long for things I hope in God's time to have. However, my life is exactly in this moment still a blessing. I should be thankful for each and every moment He allows. Yes, I have to work - we are able to own our beautiful home that my children will grow up in. Yes I have trials - what a better testament to my God's strength.
Because He lives I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives all fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future.
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
I will sing my anthem on my way to work each day and pray for God to show me ways He is using my right where I am.
