Joyful

I was reminded Sunday at church that we as Christians have so much to be JOYFUL about. With the busyness of working full time, trying to be the best wife, mom, friend, and teacher that I can be, and trying to keep everything in order at the house, I often times get overwhelmed and forget that the Holy Spirit lives IN me and He LOVES me unconditionally - and that is way more than enough to be joyful about.

Here are the lyrics to a song by Chris Tomlin that has been on a mind all week. It speaks to the same thing.

How Can I Keep from Singing

There is an endless song

Echoes in my soul

I hear the music ring

And though the storms may come

I am holding on

To the rock I cling

How can I keep from singing Your praise

How can I ever say enough

How amazing is Your love

How can I keep from shouting Your name

I know I am loved by the King

And it makes my heart want to sing

I will lift my eyes

In the darkest night

For I know my Savior lives

And I will walk with You

Knowing You'll see me through

And sing the songs You give

How can I keep from singing your praise? How can I ever say enough, how amazing is your love? How can I keep from shouting your name? I know i am loved by the king, and it makes my heart want to sing

I can sing in the troubled times

Sing when I win

I can sing when I lose my step

And fall down again

I can sing 'cause You pick me up

Sing 'cause You're there

I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord

When I call to You in prayer

I can sing with my last breath

Sing for I know

That I'll sing with the angels

And the saints around the throne

And with a little one this cute at home, how could I ever not find something to be JOYFUL about??
