Yes I will

I am not a morning person, I don't like getting up early, I am cranky till I have had coffee and it's just not pretty. However the Lord seems to think I need to be a morning person and a people person, two things I am just not. Anyway, I have learned to love my time early in the morning..... my time with the Lord has come to be something I look forward to everyday. While some days it is a struggle to get up at 4:30 in the am but I always seem to get just what I need from our time together. If I miss it for some reason I have come to miss it, to need it. It's like my day is not right without it. 

This morning I woke up with a song on my mind, and I love that I have come to love when this happens. As I rushed out of bed almost giddy, humming this song this morning He also laid on my heart to share this song, and a verse that seemed to jump out of the Bible at me.

2Timothy 1:5 "when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice and I am persuaded is in you."  (NKJV)

While we can leave behind a vast many things as a legacy to our children, this is the kind of legacy I can hope that I am leaving for my children. That one day someone can say to my boys... That even if the environment wasn't perfect to faithfulness it was still in your family. Your mom still had genuine faith that is passed down in you. If the only thing I pass down to my boys is faith in the Lord and a love for Him, an obedient life to Him then I consider that a parenting win!! I will continue to say "Yes I will" .... 

As a single mom I always hope I am enough, and I can be what they need me to be for them. This gives me hope, because Timothy's dad was not a believer. However the faith that was found in his grandmother and mother was enough to put down a firm foundation for him. 

His word this morning was very clear.... You child are enough just keep going.

The song that was on my heart is "Yes I will" by Vertical Worship

Seems fitting that He gives me this message and this song at the same time. I will continue to say Yes I will in spite of worry, or fear..... That even though I don't see it now, He is going to finish the good works He started in my mom, in me and now on into my boys. 


I count on one thing

The same God that never fails
Will not fail me now
You won't fail me now
In the waiting
The same God who's never late
Is working all things out
You're working all things out

Yes I will, lift You high in the lowest valley
Yes I will, bless Your name
Oh, yes I will, sing for joy when my heart is heavy
All my days, oh yes I will

I count on one thing
The same God that never fails
Will not fail me now
You won't fail me now
In the waiting
The same God who's never late
Is working all things out
Is working all things out

Oh, yes I will, lift You high in the lowest valley
Yes I will, bless Your name
Oh, yes I will, sing for joy when my heart is heavy
For all my days, oh yes I will
For all my days, oh yes, I will

And I choose to praise
To glorify, glorify
The Name of all names
That nothing can stand against
And I choose to praise
To glorify, glorify
The Name of all names
That nothing can stand against
And I choose to praise
To glorify, glorify
The Name of all names
That nothing can stand against
And I choose to praise
To glorify, to glorify
The Name of all names
That nothing can stand against

For all my days, yes, I will.....

I hope you all enjoy the song as much as I did this morning....
Happy Tuesday!!!
