It’s hard to believe that another week has come and gone! Getting into the fall schedule has made the week seem to fly by. Tyler and I are a little under the weather, but still having so much fun together! Everyday Tyler is learning to say new words or phrases. This week he came up to hand me something and when I looked down he said, “Mommy’s iPod.” I don’t think we ever tried to get him to say that, but I guess he just picked up on it! Tyler has really gotten to a point where he can talk with us and when we ask him questions he responds so well now. I love seeing him learn and grow and it’s amazing that the Lord allows us the stewardship of parenting because Bobby and I have so much joy daily training and loving this little guy.

This weekend we taught our high school group a new worship song that Bobby and Ty wrote last week called “This is the Day.” I’ve been singing the verses all morning!–

Your mercies are new today
Your faithful to me always
You are God and I’m living for Your praise

Your presence brings joy to life
Your pleasures, they satisfy
You are God and in You I find delight

Each day is a gift from God, but so often they can end up being all about me. From waking up to going to sleep really I’m working to get done what I need to get done. This song is a great exhortation to have a renewed perspective in Him. To live and rejoice in Him each day, not because He’s giving us what we need or helping us get our to-do lists done but because of who He is–You are God and I’m living for Your praise!

The chorus is straight from Psalm 118:24–

This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
Let everyone sing to the God who reigns
I will rejoice and be glad in Him!

This will be my prayer each day this week!
