Good Morning Kids

Its 4:49 am and I am wide awake. David is back in the hospital, AGAIN. For those of you keeping track he current record is December 26th-30th, January 7-11th, and January 17-?. He has pneumonia again in he other lung. Wonderful, this is just what you want to hear after 2 hospitalizations already! This time we caught it much sooner, I guess we are learning the pattern, sad I know. He is much healthier this time around, he is not on oxygen and is actually breathing some what normally. My mom has been sick for a couple of days with a cold and a bad cough, plus she is working first thing this morning so I was nominated as the best candidate to stay all night in the hospital. This time has, SO FAR, not been as bad as my last experience. We are down the hall from the nurses and our door shuts all they way, compared to last time when our room was at the center of all the excitement at 3am. I have even been lucky enough to have gotten a few solid hours of sleep.

As I was waiting for the respiratory therapist to leave I decided to turn my MP3s on, David Crowder Band was just what we needed. I am always amazed that God can use my middle of the night, completely exhausted moments to teach me. Feeling lonely and tired, and basically emotionally drained, have been a state of life recently and God used this song to remind me that when my focus in on Him only, He can be my delight.

Take my heart, I Lay it down
At the feet of you whose crowned
Take my life, I’m letting go
I lift it upto You who’s throned

And I will worship You, Lord
Only You, Lord
And I will bow down before You
Only You Lord

Take my fret, take my fear
All I have, I’m leaving here
Be all my hopes, be all my dreams
Be all my delights, be my everything

And It’s just you and me here now
Only you and me here now

You should see the view
When it’s only You

Sounds so simple, yet its so hard...

King Jesus- today, right now at 4:57 AM, its Only YOU and me.
