worship

my mom forced me to take piano lessons. for the most part i liked them, but in late jr. high couldn't stand them anymore. i wanted to play and sing - not just learn the classic stuff. she agreed to let me quit. i continued, however, to play through out the years. i love it! i love to sit and play and sing to my hearts content. i usually do it when alone, but the kids enjoy it too. unfortunately i had not bought a book since my freshman year of college. even that was only sheet music to the old song "the rose" (which i love to play and sing)

anyways....i have been craving a good worship book. one that i could sit down and play and sing and worship my creator. a few weeks ago i needed to go to the family christian book store looking for curriculum. i decided to just browse their piano music. well...although i should have gone for the more challenging book, they had a medium level worship book that had several songs i love. so i bought it! and i have to say i've so enjoyed plucking away. it is fairly easy, but i've lost the gift of sight reading and need to brush up on my skills. some are coming faster than others, but i love to sit and sing..

ahh...there is something about that time that just soothes my soul. it is me being part of who i am. not afraid of what i sound like to others - just being in His presence while i play.

the hubby is at youth group tonight. the kids were playing so well and finishing homework. i decided to sit down and just play. i played the first couple of songs and came to How Great is our God. i started in and after the first verse noticed i had 2 little bodies standing on either side of me singing along. i loved that moment. i will cherish hearing their sweet voices sing as they bopped beside me.

God loves our worship....He really does!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
