i will admit though, my j-o-b is t-o-u-g-h somedays. i've been tired lately. some of that is probably due to the little peanut growing in my belly, but mostly it's due to the nature of my job. i've been dragging the last 2 weeks. i'm ready for a break and even more than that, the kids are ready for a break. we've been taking it easy the past week finishing up a book we've been reading with an art project that has consumed the kids attention. it's been good for all of us!
there are days i could easily throw in the towel, but then there are days like last tuesday. pandora has a fantastic contemporary Christian station so i let them listen to music while they work. i normally have 1 or 2 girls who will sing along to just about every song that comes on, but tuesday was quite a bit different.
i had 22 students scattered around my classroom working quietly and diligently on their art projects. {that in itself is nothing short of a miracle these days!} i started to hear the opening notes to "revelation song" start to play. i got really excited because i LOVE this song!! i love picturing the angels at God's throne, praising His Holy Name DAY and NIGHT. i was walking around the room checking on the kids projects when the chorus started. i stood in the middle of my classroom and listened to 22 sweet voices singing:
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
the Lord knew i needed that. i love His daily reminders that He is always with me. i'm not even sure the kids knew they were singing, but i just stood there and listened. hearing their sweet voices praise The Creator was even better for my soul than the daily belly laughs.
And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say,
Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty
who was and is and is to come!
-Revelation 4:8
