So High

We have had quite the lovely week. I have been savoring it all morning. The house is decent, the kids have been enjoying their studies and my husband is still my stud. I never imagined my life as a homemaker nor did I ever think I could homeschool. And quite frankly, I cannot believe how much my husband enthralls me. It is not the life I was trying to attain. I am so grateful that God did not answer my requests for the life I had desired. Unbelievably grateful for a God who gives us what is best for us.

Contentment is the key word for the week. Not because life is going well but because of how God has shown Himself to me this week. I have rediscovered how puny I am in light of an awesome and holy God. At first it was frightening and then it was humbling and now I am just in awe that the One who calls each star by name, also knows the number of hairs on my head. The one that stores the rain, also knows my name. The One that looks throughout the whole earth, enjoys my feeble attempts at worship and He wants to know ME! What an amazing God we have. It is beyond words. I think it is best summarized by the song, "So High."

LORD, THESE ARE JUST WORDS AND ARE NOT ENOUGH TO CONTAIN YOU.
JESUS JUST WORDS AND NEVER SUFFICE TO ACCLAIM YOU.
FATHER JUST WORDS AND I HAVE SO FEW,
I RUN OUT TO FAST TO SPEAK THEM TO YOU.
FATHER JUST WORDS AND I HAVE SO FEW,
I RUN OUT TO FAST TO SPEAK THEM TO YOU.
YOU ARE INDESCRIBABLE,
YOU ARE BEYOND EXPRESSION.
I RUN OUT OF WORDS FOR YOU, I CAN'T THINK THAT HIGH.
SO HEAR MY SPIRIT GROAN IN ME, A PAINFUL SENSE OF URGENCY,
TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE TO ME,
SO HIGH....
