day before you

Rascal Flatts wrote a song called "The Day Before You." I have no idea if this song was meant for listeners to think of God, but He's exactly who I think about everytime I hear it! The song starts off with "I had all but given up on finding the one that I could fall into, on the day before you..." I am currently in the middle of an amazing mind boggling adventure. Some days I am so tired I don't know if I will make to my bed before I fall asleep. And then I remember who is carrying me through this adventure, the one true God! I know I can fall into His arms and He will refresh me for the next days itineray. I am so thankful I never have to go back to the day before I knew such amazing love!

That must be why I am so passionate about children knowing Jesus as their Savior! So their relationship with God can be restored and they can know what it means to fall into the arms a God who created them and knows them better than they know themselves. A God who thinks of them all the time and loves them so much He never leaves them. The chorus of the song says "Now you're here, everythings changing, suddenly life means so much..." Life is totally amazing when you yeild to His plans. Each Texas morning I marvel at the beautiful sunrise and I know that He has called me here. Each new face I meet gets etched into my heart. His plans are at work and He will be made famous through the lives of those who choose to follow Him. Lifechange, it's a good thing.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
