faithful in small things ♥

Today, after weeks of running around like maniac, I finally had a full day off. No school. No work. No papers to finish or assignments to complete or chapters to read. Just me and a beautiful spring day. 24 hours of absolute freedom. I slept in 'till 10am ... had a fresh butter croissant for breakfast ... did my daily devotional and meditation in my own kitchen rather than a busy cafe ... did some spring cleaning ... listened to jazz music ... wrote in my journal. *sigh* It was such a rewarding day. Now I'm off to watch the final episode ever of ER. I didn't follow the show fanatically like my sister did, but I did watch it often and I'm looking forward to seeing how things end tonight. Should be good.

I thought I'd leave you with this ... some song lyrics by the amazingly talented singer-songwriter, Lisa Gungor. If you are a fan of Christian/inspirational music you should absolutely check out her stuff. She has a way of really getting to the heart of the matter.

The Big and The Small

lyrics by Lisa Gungor

I'm destined for something, I feel it inside ...

A prophet or poet would be just fine.

An inspiring writer, an eloquent preacher

what do You have for me?

But I will be faithful in small things

not neglecting what's right in my hands

and whatever I do ... may it always bring glory to You

Oh make me a servant or make me stand tall,

If I have great talent or nothing at all

well it doesn't matter, for Your plan is greater

I want Your plan for me

And whatever will come, let my prayer be this one:

that I'll follow You all of my days.

In the big and the small,

let them all bring glory to You.

oh Lord I want to do great things for You

but all great things are not so big, they're sometimes small

And whatever will come, let my prayer this one:

that I'll follow You all of my days.

And when my life is through, I pray it brought glory to You.

Lord when my life is through, I pray it brought glory to You.
