So, I've finally got it through my head that every entry does not have to be a novel.  The schedule of my days does not allow for that much time but short bits here and there-I can do.
I wanted to report a small progressive step-WOOHOO!  I am beginning to be able to listen to my "Christian" music again.  See, I've been in such a funk that listening to godly music on my iPod was difficult for me and I would usually skip to the next song.  (I wasn't kidding when I said I was at a low point guys!)  So anyways, this is a good sign.  God has been so patient and sweet with me in gently pulling me back to Him.  I have been reading "Shadows of the Almighty" by Elisabeth Elliot.  What an incredible book-it is literally rocking my world!  Well, I was really discouraged with my whole "music aversion" one day and I sat down to read from this book.  It's all journal entries and letters by Jim Elliot whose life and passionate pursuit of God is just otherworldly to me.  In one of his entries I read this:
"By God's grace I have been able to sing two songs honestly."
I can't even begin to tell you how encouraging that was to me!  I had tears in my eyes because I knew God sent that to me at just the right moment.  I could totally identify with that statement and so now when I listen to a song instead of skipping it, I know that it is truly only by God's grace that I can even open my mind and heart to hear things of Him.  Any tiny bit of praise I can offer Him, even that is only possible because of Him and His grace!
So, I mentioned that God is in my iPod, right?  Well, I was listening while I was making up the beds and this song came on.  I know that I've posted it before before it's even more special to me now.  Feast your ears and hearts on this one!
