i say a little prayer for you
while combing my hair, now
and wonder what dress to wear, now
i say a little prayer for you...
FOREVER, FOREVER, YOU'LL STAY IN MY HEART
AND I WILL LOVE YOUUUUUUU!!!
(and you're welcome b/c that song will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day and possibly tomorrow morning!)
praying is a gift. and as of late i am reminded of how powerful it is and what a lovely thing it is. chattin' it up w/ Him, laying my fears on Him, my desires...and PRAISE! i'm an emotional person...i'm woman, it's hor-moans, i'm crazy...call it what you will, but sometimes the act of telling Him thank you can make this girl a little teary-eyed. i arrived at a one-year old birthday party yesterday after hearing some wonderful news about someone dear to me. i had been praying for this person, and God answered :) so, i was just thanking Him over and over again while driving to this party. i pull up to the house, and i can't stop the tears. they're happy tears, but i am no about to walk in there a hot mess (i think that might be the first time i've used that phrase, anway...) so, what do i do? pray. "please Lord let me just walk in there have a good time and turn this energy into happy face." thankfully, God turned my tears into smiles and i was able to enjoy the party. i was talking to my girlfriend, who i don't get to see often, and she confesses that she loves my blog and that it makes her cry....uhhh, what?!? oh wait...she's woman :) she explains that it makes her want to be a better mom. well, we all feel that way, don't we? we're always thinking we don't do enough or that we can do better at anything. i'm guilty! and i truly hope i don't come across that i have all the answers and that i've got it all together (most of you know that is NOT the case). but on that same note, i do hope somehow my babbles spark something inside you to be HAPPY, INSPIRED, and maybe even RELIEVED that there are other women out there that are just "doing there thing," and taking it day-by-day. omgoodness, am i making any sense??
i say a little prayer for you...oh yes! back on point...
last night i went to a baby shower for a sweet friend. after delicious lasagna (my fave), scrumpcious (sp?) cheesecake (also my fave), and unwrapping gifts accompanied w/ oohs and aahs, we gathered around the beautiful mama and prayed over her. it was such a sweet and lovely moment. we thanked God for all of her blessings and prayed for what's to come. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING!
if it's not your usual routine, try saying a little prayer when you wake up...then maybe play "three little birds" by bob marley ;) it does wonders!
