A child of God
The song I'm probably falling asleep to, resting peacefully in the arms of my Father:
Child of God
With every breath, with every thought
From what is seen, to the deepest part
I offer all that I've come to be
To know Your love, fathering me
Father, You're all I need
My soul's sufficiency
My strength when I am weak
The love that carries me
Your arms enfold me
'Til I am only
A child of God
With every step on this journey's walk
And wisdom's songs that the soul has sought
I give myself unreservantly
To know your love, fathering me
"Because you are sons, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, 'Abba, Father.' So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has mad you also an heir." Galations 4:6-7
You Are A Child Of Mine (Mark Schultz and Chris Eaton)
I’ve been hearing voices
Telling me that I could
Never be what I wanna be.
They’re binding me with lies,
Haunting me at night,
And saying there’s nothing to believe.
Somewhere in the quietness,
When I’m overcome with loneliness,
I hear You call my name.
And like a father You are near
And as I listen I can hear You say
You are a child of Mine
Born of My own design
And you bear the heart of life.
No matter where you go,
Oh, you will always know
You have been made free in Christ.
You are a child of Mine
And so I listen as You tell me who I am
And who it is I’m gonna be.
And I hang on every word,
Knowing I have heard
I am Yours and I am free
But when I am alone at night
That is when I hear the lie
You’ll never be enough
And though I’m giving into fear
If I listen I can hear You say
You are a child of Mine
What a day!
Today at work I got all the affirmation I needed that this is the job I should be doing. My little girl is coming out of her shell and showing me how great of a personality she really has. It was my first therapy session by myself and, thankfully, it was the best one I've had with her since we met 3 weeks ago. I love being a part of helping this gorgeous 4 year old come into the world of language. I am so thankful that God gave me this opportunity. Who knows where it will lead me...
Here's my "Update! Update!
So, I've officially been yelled at for not posting in a while. It's too bad I don't have much more to say. Work keeps me busy these days. I love everything about this new job. I'm learning more and more about autism everyday AND I get to work with kids. It's amazing! There's not much more for me to say at the moment. I will do my best to come up with more as the week goes on. Sorry if any of you are disappointed, it's just been a busy couple of weeks with work training and all.

I'm making this choice to live in Your grace
Turn from all of my sins and seek Your face
All of my heart desires Your will
Spirit come down, I want to be filled
To have so much more of You is the passion in my heart
Meet me one more time cause I long to hear Your voice
