"Take my heart, I lay it down at the feet of you who's crowned"
My eyes close and I uncontrollably sing. Hands wet with soapy water from the endless pit of dishes, my mind goes empty. Empty with everything except Him.
"Take my life, I'm letting go. I lift it up to You who's throned "
I almost didn't turn the music on. I almost just sat at the computer and looked at the endless amounts of inspiration that overflows the Internet. I almost didn't listen to that small voice that whispered, "meet with ME."
"Meet with Me over a sink full of dishes - I don't care." And I have never felt more connected. Because whenever my heart is connected, it's just me and Him.
The dishes are suddenly done, I realize that my heart is FULL. Why don't I do all my mundane tasks in the presence of Him?

You are so right. I have been trying to live more "intentionally" and notice God in every day!

Thanks Samantha. I know - isn't the computer a huge distraction at times? A necessary evil, I'm afraid.
DeleteSo encouraging! Those are my absolute FAVORITE times. I'm so thankful you shared, I think I'll go do some dishes. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate... just turn that music up while you do them! ;)
