All I need.

The past few days I have been in a slump. Not really sure why. Just a slump. My patience is thin, and my joy is sparse. I don't like it, I don't want to be in it, but here I am there.

 

This morning Landen's class was scheduled to go to Gator and Friends on a field trip but the weather said 50% chance of rain. Landen was praying for no rain (he is an optimist) I was praying for rain, I mean "God's will" (I am tired folks and wanted my kid free day!). And the trip got canceled. :) 

 

On my way home from dropping him off at school I was thinking about our evening last night. How I was short with Landen and how I told Brandon "I just don't want to....." "I am tired of fighting with him about it..." and feeling defeated. All because of dinner. Me trying to "win".

 

At that moment I was listening to the Feminar cd from my friend Laney Wootten. "All I Need".

 

The lyrics go like this:

 

All I need to do is worship
All I need to do is say His name out loud
All I need to do is lift my hands, surrender
And bow down
All I need to do is find Him
All I need to do is let His presence fall
All I need to do is worship
Worship the Lord

When theres no way out
Except through a miracle
When theres no way up a mountain
Except to climb it
When everything you hope for
Seems gone
And every dream you've dreamed
Is so far away, thats when I say...

 

Can I just say that I could hardly drive because of the tears in my eyes.  The answer is right there. My answer. I don't have to feel defeated, because ALL I have to do is worship, say HIS name out loud, LIFT my hands IN SURRENDER and bow down to the Lord. That is ALL I have to do, HE WILL DO THE REST.

 

I was wrestling with flesh. My flesh, Landen's flesh and Brandon's flesh. But the Spirit has been here all along to free me from that burden.

 

When Landen's ADHD seems like to much for me to handle, all I need to do is worship. Say His name out loud and lift my hands in surrender and bow down.  When my marriage gets tough, all I need to do is say his name out loud and worship the Lord.  When the world threatens to take us under, all I need to do is say His name out loud!

He not only gives us the answer! HE IS THE ANSWER!

Let us bow down friends and be bless by Jesus.
