I went to lighthouse tonight.. I have been kinda bummed lately and haven't been able to kick it. Going tonight was exactly what I needed. We sang some amazing songs, that spoke right to my heart. The study right now is on idols.. and how we can make anything into an idol. It was a real wake up call to some areas in my life. Things that started off innocent, but in time began to totally consume me. I have all of these "things" that I want for my life, and I trust that if they are the desires of my heart that God will bless them. Two things that I need to remember are...
1. I need to fully surrender myself to him and his will.
2. I need to give up all things that distract me from doing that.
One of the songs that we sang really just helped me to understand all of this tonight... here it is.
Arms Open Wide- Hillsong United
Take my life I lay it down
At the cross where I am found
All I have I give to You oh God
Take my hands and make them clean
Keep my heart in purity
That I may walk in all You have for me
Oh here I stand
Arms open wide
Oh I am Yours
And You are mine
Take my moments and my days
Let each breath that I take
Be ever only for You oh God
Oh here I stand
Arms open wide
Oh I am Yours
And You are mine
My whole life is Yours
I give it all
Surrendered to Your Name
And forever I will pray
Have Your way
Have Your way

Geez.
This week has been crazy at work. It has been a really hard week, and I am very much looking forward to the weekend...Honestly this week at work has been super hard. The kids are all off, they are all getting sick and it's been craziness.. But instead of focusing on all of the bad parts, I am going to share with you some things about my job that I have LOVED this week...
1. Being told by a two year old that I am strong like Jesus
2. Getting approximately 83 toddler sized kisses
3. Being asked to "Snuggle" 5-10 times a day
4. Listening to a two year old sit on the potty singing Jesus Loves the Little Children
5. Asking my kids who their friend is and having them respond "JESUS!"
6. Having 3 kids want to do my hair at the exact same time! They have such fun, and it is so calming for me!
7. Walking in the room in the morning, and having 6 kids come at me wanting a hug!
8. Being told by a two year old, that they "Love me too much!"
It can be crazy.... and with 2 year olds it often is... but I adore them! :)
