Songs Sung in Secret

Early mornings have always been my favorite time; I love getting up before the sun is awake, while the sky still sparkles with stars. I love the quiet time, sipping coffee, spending time with my beloved husband and my beloved Heavenly Father. There is a peace the early morning brings, a peace that is beyond my human capability to understand. I only know that I am so blessed.

After prayer time, I make Chuck’s breakfast and pack his lunch while he gets dressed. He leaves the house shortly after 5am, and by then I have a good start on the chores of the day. I do my best work in the early mornings.

Some days I leave home to go to my part-time nanny job. Taking care of a precious newborn can hardly be called work, and I am amazed to be paid for loving someone. Baby Lydia is beautiful and perfect, so recently arrived from heaven and wrought by the hand of God. She is a joy to care for, and I do not take lightly the trust her parents have placed in me.

The Wednesday night classes I am teaching at church are going well. This is a different group of ladies I am ministering to; most are slightly older than my Sunday morning ladies. Although they knew me, most of them had never sat under my teaching before, and the first couple of classes were a little rocky. I think I said things they had never heard before, and they weren’t sure how to take them. I will be the first to admit that I am spiritually radical, and probably off the chain; my classes are not for the faint of heart. My friends here who have known me for a while probably know what I am speaking of.

After a couple of classes, I believe some barriers have been broken, and God has allowed me to minister to them. The atmosphere in class has changed, and I know it is because some things in the spiritual realm have changed. God is always in the business of tearing down walls. He has torn down and rebuilt me so completely, that I do not even resemble who I used to be; for this I am eternally grateful.

My life is so sweet; I live in awe of how blessed I am. My heart is so full that sometimes I cannot contain it all. Thank you for being a part of the blessings that I count. Your friendship is most precious to me, and your names are regularly lifted up before our Father’s throne. I will tell you this in person someday, when we meet together for the Wedding Feast.

Meanwhile, I have a secret that I cannot yet share. But when the time is right, I will….

I woke up this morning and played my morning song on my Itunes (“Give Me Jesus”). It says “In the morning, when I rise, give me Jesus…” and I saw your entry on the front page while listening. Fit in so perfectly, with your sunset picture and beautiful entry. It made me smile. Such a beautiful entry. Thank you, Lord. Just wanted to tell you. 🙂 I can relate to you 110% when you say that your heart is so full, you cannot contain it all. I often say the same thing. It feels as though I will just totally explode and erupt with all that God has put in my heart. I wish everyone could experience that. Can’t wait to share that wedding feast with you, sister!

I’ve always noticed that you seem to have beautiful titles for all of your entries. More like as if you are showing entries of poems & poetry. But all seems connected either with music & songs. *smile* I am always fond the way you write your entry. I feel as I am right there with you. The way you do the stories and filled the lines lined with beautiful words … And pics too! hehehehe …

One of my diarist friend here too, has just become a Grandma and I guessed perhaps that she too, is in your list. Not sure of that. But anyway, the both of you are so proud to be a granparents for the first time. Seems you do enjoy this new chapter in your life. And a newborn face is a miracle of what I think to believe as if GOD Himself has painted a little face of his in every babies.

And yes … your Life is SWEET & your’re BLESSED – just you’ve written it up there. A wonderful gift of GOD … You take care as always! And thinking of you there … Have a lovely Wednesday then! ***HUGS***

What a beautiful pair they make….and I couldn’t agree more that they are both beautiful ladies. 🙂 They’re not the only beautiful ladies in this entry, either…your beauty shines thru in every entry my dear friend. I’ve been praying for your new ministry, and it seems those prayers are being answered….*HUGS* I remember the same feelings when I started teaching this new classat our new church, and I could tell the people didn’t quite know what to think of me…*smiles*
