This week I had a terrific Tuesday and then all of the other days of the week were good and productive as well and I never seemed to make it on to blog! Bobby and I spent a good amount of time this week finishing things in the baby’s room. The big challenge was sorting and organizing every item and all of the gifts we’ve received and now everything is in its proper place. This weekend we had a high school worship night. I found this time to be very encouraging. Students gather to play instruments and lift their voices to the Lord in praise.

One of the songs we sang was written by Bobby and Ty especially for that evening. It is called “Drawing Near.” The lyrics are a beautiful prayer of both praise and yearning. The verses really speak of who God is and what He has done–worthy of adoration. The chorus and bridge express a longing to know Him and be near to Him. As we practiced this song it became my prayer to the Lord. I feel that I have seen a glimpse of His greatness in my salvation and the mercy that is renewed to me each morning. But I know that I have so much more to learn of Him. I am not satisfied with a mediocre acceptance of who He is or what He has done…I long to know Him, to see Him.
