do you ever have a song in your heart?

I do. Quite often, in fact. It varies from day to day, but it's amazing how something just comes over you and holds on for a while. Or rather, gives you something to hold onto. It's especially gratifying for me as a relatively new, "washed in the blood" Christian, since the songs in my heart are always praise and worship. I love it! It's uplifting and can quickly wipe out any negativity I may have been feeling.

This week has been a long one already. Monday was somewhat a catch-up day, Tuesday was spent out of the office making nicey-nice (which is tiresome if you're not usually a face-to-face customer service kind of person), and today was more of the nicey-nice. I'm tired. However, a refreshing wave of joy washed over me on my drive home and I was happy.

After a tense phone call later on, my joy was gone. The wind fell out of my sail and I bottomed out again. Thankfully, my God doesn't let me sit there long. A song filled my heart once more, and I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. (Phillippians 4:13)

"Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary, pure and holy, tried and true. With thanksgiving, I'll be a living sanctuary for you."
