how can i keep from singing?

how can i keep from singing?

i know i am loved by the KING and it makes my heart want to sing!

i want to sing. that's all there is to it really. as i slowed down tonight and started to ponder (i.e. my mind was wandering from the textbook in front of me) this week that is almost over, i am overwhelmed by the ways that God has worked and provided and strengthened me and well, displayed His glory for all to see.

i want to sing. in everything, for everything. for my professor assuring me i'm on the right track with my research project and providing helpful suggestions. for having a job working with awesome, funny, unique people that i love and i get paid. what a deal. for what God has shown me in my quiet times about the provision of His armor and beginnings of insights about how exactly to put it on every day (i promise i will share the complete version soon!). for the areas that the Holy Spirit has exposed that are keeping me from running well. for His power and strength and grace to start dealing with them. for keeping me cognizant and awake enough to get through a quiz and two big exams when i stayed up too late studying. for the $500,000 grant that the university participant program for college age students with special needs (the program i work with) received yesterday. now we can expand the program. it's very exciting. for daily reminders that i am loved and this is where i am supposed to be. i am slowly finding a place that feels like it was designed specifically for me. it was and is being fashioned for me-by my Father. it's just hard to trust when i can't see the big picture and things aren't fitting nicely into my timetable. in fact, they don't ever really fit at all. (that's one of those areas that i mentioned needs some work and adjustment.) for never ending grace, love, mercy, forgiveness, peace, compassion, guidance, strength, and perfect, yet scarred hands to hold me close.

i'm still singing. i don't plan on stopping any time soon or ever for that matter. how can i??

xo to all.
