Even in the midst of my busy week and all the stress that resides in me today I have been given in this moment a little reminder of a song we sang at Sun Grove church last sunday. I couldn't help but share it with you. For me there is so much power in these words and yet they are so simple. It's such a simple truth that I believe in everyday, that God is everything and yet this song is still so powerful. I guess it stands out to me because I rarely break it down this way. To know that God is in me when I rest, and when I cry, and when I laugh is so encouraging. This morning as I rose to attend my painting class I stepped outside to frosted grass. Winter has arrived in Portland and I hear we might be getting snow next week. This morning it felt as though I was up earlier then anyone else and in the quiet drive to school I remembered what Christmas is really about. I am so anxious for school to be over so I can go shopping and bake all day and get in the "Christmas spirit." It feels good to take a breather and remember that God is everything and on Christmas we celebrate Jesus. So here are the lyrics to the song that has calmed my heart today. Can't wait to see you all again so soon,
Katie
Everything by Tim Hughes
There in my breathing
God in my waking
God in my sleeping
God in my resting
There in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
God in my hoping
There in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting
God in my laughing
There in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing
Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything
Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
Be my everything
