First of all, my son just turned 10 (waah!). We have this "tradition" of me giving him a hard time for growing up on me and the night before I always tell him he can't have a birthday (I do it with my daughter too---that one's coming up in just a couple of weeks) and stuff like that. This year it actually was bugging me that he's having another one because he's now into the "double digits", and it started really sinking in that he's really growing up on me now!!! The little brat wrote me a poem (out of being a smart aleck) and had it delivered via the "Little Sister Express". It said..."Ha ha ha, he he he, I'm no longer a multiple of three!" Little booger butt!!! (Yep, that actually was my nickname for him when he was a tiny little baby! heehee)
I've been finding myself frustrated because there's not much to "say" the last few days (on my blog and on the forums to which I belong), and I don't want to post for the sake of posting and ending up rambling (as I am doing here). So, this song came to mind, has nothing to do with me not posting, but I love it anyway. I'm speechless from feeling "blah", but I'd rather be speechless for the reasons in these lyrics. I'm praying I'll be in awe and speechless soon......
Hey, Jamie would you mind
Driving down this road awhile
Arizona's waiting on these eyes
Rich is on the radio
And I think we ought to take it slow
Arizona's caught me by surprise
Hey, Jamie, have you heard
'A picture paints a thousand words'
But the photographs don't tell it all
I see the eagle swim the canyon sea
Creation yawns in front of me
Oh Lord, I never felt so small
And I don't believe that I believed in You
as deeply as today
I reckon what I'm saying is
there's nothing more
nothing more to say
And the mountains sing
Your glory hallelujah
The canyons echo sweet amazing grace
My spirit sails
The mighty gales are bellowing Your name
And I've gotten nothing to say
No, I've got nothing to say
Hey, Jamie, do you see
I'm broken by this majesty
So much glory in so little time
So turn off the radio
Let's listen to the songs we know
All praise to Him who reigns on high
And I don't believe that I believed in You
as deeply as today
I reckon what I'm saying is
there's nothing more
nothing more to say
And the mountains sing
Your glory hallelujah
The canyons echo sweet amazing grace
My spirit sails
The mighty gales are bellowing Your name
And I've gotten nothing to say
No, I've got nothing to say
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah hallelujah
And the mountains sing
Your glory hallelujah
The canyons echo sweet amazing grace
My spirit sails
The mighty gales are bellowing Your name
And I've gotten nothing to say
No, I've got nothing to say
Hey Jamie would you mind
Driving down this road awhile
Arizona's caught me by surprise
"Nothing to Say"--sung by Andrew Peterson
