all before 10 a.m.

This has been a long week. We have been so busy and haven't had much time at home with each other. We were up early as usual today, Greg was off to the VA to work, I took the boys (ours plus a couple extra nutty middle school boys) to school, and was at Target before they even opened. I hated to do it but since they weren't opening for a half hour and Starbucks was open and had the coffee waiting for me, I went in for some coffee and a little visit with my people in there. Target got our money next, then RiteAid, then Kroger. It was a pretty pleasant morning, in spite of the fact that my nose isn't working, i need a foot transplant, and I'm flat-out exhausted. I'm not having a pity party, this is just my reality today and I'm getting on with it. God floored me in the Kroger parking lot though, when I got back in my van to come home. He got me on the last verse of a song that I have to have heard a squillion times but never have listened to. I must've needed it today so He saved it for now. This is one thing that I absolutely dearly love about my Jesus. He cares about every little teensie detail of my life, awake or asleep. My wallet, my sinuses, my stupid foot, my tired self, my state of mind, my everything. I know that in comparison to so many others my circumstances are trivial, at least in my perception. But to Jesus, they matter so much. I am beyond grateful for his involved presence in my life. I love Him so.

Yep, so I'm having trouble seeing now through all the water in my eyes. Good thing I already copied and pasted these lyrics on here! The song is "Come For Me" by Charlie Hall.

Jesus come take me away

I long to see Your face

This world is broken yet beautifully made

Jesus come take me away

Jesus I’ll patiently wait

till like a vapor I’ll fade

Help me fulfill all your dreams for these days

Jesus I’ll patiently wait

You’ll come again with a shout

like a thief in the night you’ll come riding on clouds

Finally the voice I have followed for life

has a glorious face that is lit up with light

And you’ll come for me

no more pain

peace

No more fear

release

just lost and consumed with my glorious King

you’ll come for me

Jesus today I am tired

I need your music to come and inspire

I give myself to be refined in this fire

but Jesus today I’m so tired

Come for me
