It seems like throughout different chapters of life there have been numerous songs I have held onto for inspiration, comfort, excitement, celebration, etc. Recently i just cannot get enough of this song by Matthew West, some of you may know that Matt had to have surgery on his vocal cords and wasn't allowed to speak for a whole year. After recovering, this song sums up not only his past year but daily life.
Last week I was on my way to work at 630am and just in my head I was thinking man I wish that song would play, you know it, the very next song was it.
Routines are needed but they can also hinder us. Work 7-330, pick up Noah from daycare, head home (fighting traffic), make dinner, work around house, bathe Noah and put to bed, pack lunches for tomorrow, check emails, pay bills, edit pictures.....daily chores never end and it is so easy to become absorbed with just staying afloat. But at the end of the day, you hop in bed and realize that today is gone, completely gone and there is nothing we can do to bring it back. So at what point did I stop and take in the beautiful sunset that God has given, or hugged my husband a little longer than usual. I am making it a point to live and love with all I have, at the end of today I will not look back with the regret of going through "the motions"

Wow. I have always loved this song, but it seems like when your day, your week, your month changes - family, friends, work - that the depth of this song changes. This past week has held a lot of emotional extremes for me. I may need to play this video again to help re-focus my eyes on what is "true, noble, right, pure, lovely, & admirable" (Phil 4).
