I was sung to this morning...

I have no idea what you're morning has been like, but if it's been anything like mine, we're both in trouble, LOL! Seriusly, this morning has been rough and it's not even 10 am yet. My biggest struggle has been that things have come up that are out of my routine, out of my comfort area, -OUT OF MY CONTROL- and I started to feel stressed, pushed, pressured... Do you ever feel the same way? It's not even that it was anything big or monumental that bothered me - it was just pressure that came from a billion different small and insignificant things... I felt out of control this morning, and I could feel my emotions in starting my day being swayed with each new *surprise* that came up before I was even fully awake and out of bed.

Usually as I'm waking up in the morning I have a song on my heart. Sometimes I feel like that song is a window for me to see where my heart and mind is focusing as I rise. Other times, I feel like it's a song of encouragement that God sings over me as I wake. This morning's song is called 'My Help Comes From The Lord' by The Museum. Here's a few of the lyrics to give you an idea (if you don't know the song):

verse 1:
When sorrows come and hope seems gone
You're the rock I rest upon
When waters rise and I can't breathe
You're the love that rescues me
Out of the darkness, lift up my eyes
Unto the hills, I feel my faith rise

chorus:
Maker of heaven, giver of life
You are my strength, my song in the night
My refuge my shelter, now and forevermore
My help comes from the Lord


As my morning seemed to crumble and fall as I woke up, I felt this song being sung over my heart and knew immediately that I needed to get into the Word... I decided to take a morning away from the book of Matthew (I've been going back to study the stories of Jesus's life) and instead went into the Psalms (soothing balm for my heart, hehe I'm such a girl).

Psalm 121 is God's song over my heart this morning:

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

I pray that today we'd all get to stop and take time to really worship our Lord who watches over our every step, who guards us and keeps us from harm... That just as He sings over us, that we'd be able to sing back over Him this morning.

Love you guys. Have a great day!
