Contemplate quietly each line of the verse above. You may ask, "God Himself sings over Me?" Absolutely, YES... He is crazy about you. He watches every moment of your day with concern and love. When you feel that sudden tornado of anxiety in your chest... He will quiet you with His love. He delights in your dreams. He waits patiently for you to share your thoughts with Him. What does God's voice sound like? baritone? Imagine... a perfect balance of Pachelbel's canon with Cello, ocean waves, children's choir, wind in the pines, African drum, and laughter. What color is His voice? royal purple? Gold? or brilliant, healing white? His performance really silenced the critics - "...when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy..." Job 38:7 So, this week ~ ask God for a song (that you can sing to Him... while you are driving or working alone) I promise, He will drop one right into your heart ~ and tonight, when your head hits the pillow, Someone will sing you to sleep.Monday, October 29, 2007

Colleen- I love your title!!! Can i post your blog site on mine? I can't wait to read it--- Happy Birthday my sister- friend. love and laughter, anushka
Beautiful.
I've been highly anticipating getting more glimpses of your beautiful work on your blog... thank you for sharing. I love LOVE how He sings through your life, dear friend.
God sings like a duet between Tom Waits and Emmylou Harris . . .
Beautiful.
You were right, friend! I did ask the Lord for a song and He provided. It is a lullaby prayer/blessing to sing over my friends -- many of whom are far away from me -- and who are going through various trials or joys. Very simple, but purposeful. I thought I would share with you (the lyrics at least), as you were the one who encouraged me to request the gift of our gracious Father.
-----------------------
May the peace of Christ
rest on you tonight
as you dream, cradled in
His love unending.
And find that here you're not alone.
And find that here you can be made whole.
So it is as it has been.
Now and forever.

Sarah Jane, how i love your song. I very much hope to hear it someday! It's incredible, when God gives you a song- you NEVER forget it, and it's melody suprises you like a sudden rainshower in the middle of a drought, and lifts up your spirit in tough times , again, a gift from God. I miss you! no, i have'nt even picked up the books... blogging suffices for now. I hope you are well. write anytime... if you have a spare 10 minutes! -anushka
Oh, how I love you, sweet and beautiful friend, Anushka! Your spirit is a gentle balm to my soul. How grateful I am for you!
