{ red letter day }

This morning, as many other mornings, God laid a song on my heart… so I played it while trying to get Buster off to school. Tears were streaming down my face only a few lines in… this is my prayer! The lyrics are as follows:

Every day before the rush gets started
I get down on my knees
And I pray, Lord, I need You here to guide me
Please speak to me
And something happens that I can't explain
His Word starts talking to me and
I'm out to face this world again

I do believe it's gonna be another red letter day
It's gonna be another red letter day
I do believe it's gonna be another chance for me
To take His Word and walk by faith
I got a smile with every step I take
Knowing He is here with me
It's gonna be a red letter day

I had a friend call me up and tell me
How he struggles through each day
I told him that I didn't have all of the answers
This world's a crazy place
But I've learned to hide God's word in my heart
So I can have it with me when the pressures of the day start

Red Letter Day by Newsong

I do wish I could face each morning feeling like it’s gonna be an awesome day, a day full of ways to show thankfulness for God’s love and mercy…but unfortunately I’m a little more like the song says, “he struggles through each day” and I know that’s not how I’m made to live. Before hubby walked out the door this morning, he prayed over me specifically in this area. I do believe it WAS a red letter day! I had peace all day, nothing earth-shattering happened but there was praise and peace and I was happy to be here, at home with my boys today!

Praying tomorrow is another Red Letter Day!
