God in my Everything...

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,

Everything by Tim Hughes

God in my living 
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
