One of Dave Matthews' songs, "Everyday", is one of my favorites...BUT remixed with the line, "Hani, hani, come and dance with me" makes it 200 times better. I'm guilty of jamming out to this song when it comes on in the car. I was just listening to it and I had a little bit of a revelation. Here she is. All the Lord wants is for us to come and dance with Him, to be lead by Him, to follow Him, to trust Him, to want Him, to feel Him, to love Him. All He wants is for us to give him a little lovin'. It's not hard to show your friends or your family a little lovin' so why should it be hard to show God - the Creator of the universe, who formed us BEFORE we were born, the lover of our souls - a little lovin'?
Today was day quatro of student teaching. My teacher was out so there was a substitute in the room. The morning was great, the afternoon was crazy. I know there will be a lot of crazy days and I am learning to love them. I choose to say I love them because "when I am weak, HE is strong." Lord I ask for your Light to fill my heart, that I would learn to discipline out of Love, out of Your Love. Lord I am weak. I have a hard time with classroom management, with being stern. Lord I pray for wisdom and creativity in disciplining. You say, "ask and you shall receive," Lord I am asking Your will be done and I am asking for wisdom and creativity. Lord I pray believing You will show me ways to Love as You Love while also disciplining these students so they can strive to be the absolute best they can be. Lord I will love on You in the midst of trouble, in the midst of chaos. Lord I pray I would be constantly seeking Your face with my whole heart. Father God, I will come to Your feet in the morning and lay my head down at night in Your Presence. I will give You lovin'. I will. Father thank you for being so sweet to me, for loving me beyond my understanding. Thank you! I will sing Your praises higher and higher. Amen.
