So, I've taken a few days away from blogging. I've been doing a lot thinking and praying about a lot of different things. You know when you feel that changes need to be made, but you are not sure what kind of changes or how to even do it? Wouldn't it be nice to get a mission statement from God along with clear instructions?
When you are a new person in God, you leave your past behind...you are literally a brand new being in His eyes. It seems a lot of the time that God has an easier time letting go of that than we do. Oh, we do really well for a while, and then those old thoughts and feelings start trying to make their way in....and it's hard not to just slip back into that same old same old. So, needless to say I have done some wrestling with myself these last few weeks, but I have come out renewed, and I think that is the important part.
I've had some really tough days at work lately...well, the last year actually and today is no different. Just when I have had it, just when I am ready to blow my top...I know I need to take a break. Kyleigh had a teacher workday today, so she is home with me and I go to hang out with her and clear my mind a bit. I LOVE God's perfect timing.
What has Kyleigh been working on while I've been fighting back anger and tears from this job you ask? A song. She has pulled out her guitar and pen and pencil and was writing her very first song.
It really reached a special place in my heart and I thought I would share it with everyone today. Just what I needed and hopefully what you need as well. Original words (and spelling!) by Kyleigh.......
I know God from my hart.
I know Jeases from hevan and you can know them to if you sing this song.
You might migt know more abawt them in your hart.
You can sing this song in your hart.
I know Jeases and God and you will too if you sing this song.
It's doesn't matter how bad my day is. It doesn't matter that I have no clue what to do right now. Kyleigh tells me all that matters is knowing God in my heart.

i was just reading last night about how we think our children are like little sponges, soaking up all their learning from us (and they are!)... but how we have so much we can learn from them too! thank the Lord for a day with Kyleigh
How precious! What a sweet little girl you are raising for Jesus!
This is amazing! What a great gift! You are right, God does have perfect timing. And I emphasise with you regarding the thoughts that try to sneak back in...but you should read my last post...it might help you with the "worry" you are feeling. If nothing else it will just let you know that you are not alone in your worry, no matter what it is about. I will keep you in my prayers that God will present you with whatever it is you need to be happy...He knows what that is even if you don't right now.
