"God in my living, there in my breathing. God in my waking, God in my sleeping.....
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...."
The lyrics don't do this one justice, you got to listen to the music. It's a good reminder. Even those of us who think we got things down, God never fails to remind us somehow, just how much we need him. God softly whispers to me through this song that it doesn't matter what I do in life, as long as I am serving him and loving others. Sometimes it feels like God is with us only on Sunday nights or at weekly bible study, but he is there always.
I often forget this when I am caught up in my busy day to day schedule. He is there when I'm eating cereal in the morning, he is there when I'm rushing out the door, he is there when I'm paying almost $4 a gallon for gas, he is there when I'm listening to my teacher's boring lecture at school, he is there when I feel the sun shining down on my face, he is there when I get an A on my paper, he is there when I am stuck in traffic, he is there when I'm talking to an old friend, he is there when I'm cleaning the kitchen after dinner, he is there when I'm spending time with my husband-- he is there.
Life gets hectic, but I never want to forget that everything I do, I need to do with purpose and a joyful heart-- even in the times when I wish something more exciting was happening. I often picture Jesus sitting up there just watching me-- like in the times when I let myself get bothered or stressed over such little things. I can just see him give a little chuckle and say,
"My child, you think you have it so figured out-- you think you are so tough and you can take care of yourself. Just let it go and let me help you out today. My child, come here and rest on me."
Thank you Jesus for constantly reminding me how much I need you in everything I do.

i've seen you and your husband at church several times and i have yet to go up and say "hello, i'm candice, nice to meet you". found your blog linked on paul's blog.
i, too, love that song, i love thinking about how God is always there with me.
well next time i see you at church, i won't be shy about coming up to you, so don't be afraid to say Hi to me.
have a great rest of the week! Enjoy your Easter celebration.
Hey Candice!
Oh my goodness, I feel terrible to think We always walk passed one another but have never talked! I think I know who you are! Well thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment my blog! Isn't that song great? It just makes so much sense in such a crazy world. But bottom line, God is good. Maybe I will see you Sunday? Take care Candice! =)
Its funny, everytime Matt plays this song at 7 my heart is so full that it is often all I can do to hold back the tears (maybe cause I am prego too, but maybe not =) )
Eachtime, even if we played it the week before, it always makes a huge impact on me. For me it is an amazing reminder that God IS always there, in all things, in all circumstances, in the good, in the bad, in the bautiful moments, in the sad moments. I am so thankful for Him, I am so thankful for this song and what it reminds me of on a regular basis.
