Hello World...

Today I was a frantic woman after school running errands. My dad had a surgery that was pretty intensive (praise God, he's doing great, and it went well) so I wanted to send him a little care package of goodies while he recovers. I had to go home and grab the stuff and make it to the post office before they closed.

I also needed to mail out a Mother's Day card for Chad's grandmother... so I ran and did that, and then to get what I wanted to get for my mother in law for Mother' Day, had to run out to Lufkin.

On the hour long drive there, I decided to take the opportunity to listen to the CD of Keith Craft's message again about love, listening/talking with God, etc... and I was really contemplating that the whole drive.

On the way back, I put on a mix cd (I make a gazillion of those) that I've listened to 100 times, but yet this song got to me today more than ever. I had been so frantic worrying about everything I need to get done both at work and home, that it just really hit me. I calmed down from all the stress I've been under lately. By the end of the song, I was in tears (I know, I'm pregnant and hormonal, lol) because it helped me realize God is speaking to me and giving me a purpose I need to focus on filling...

[put my playlist on the bottom of the screen on pause, and play this to hear the song... enjoy!]


"Hello World" by Lady Antebellum

Traffic crawls, cell phone calls
Talk radio screams at me through my tinted window I see
A little girl, rust red minivan, she’s got chocolate on her face
Got little hands and she waves at me
Yeah, she smiles at me

Chorus
Well, hello world
How you been
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel cold as steel
Broken like I’m never gonna heal
And I see a light, a little hope in a little girl
Hello world

Every day I drive by a little white church
It’s got these little white crosses
Like angels in the yard
Maybe I should stop on in, say a prayer
Maybe talk to God like he is there
Oh, I know he’s there
Yeah, I know he’s there

Well hello world
How you been
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel as cold as steel
And broken like I’m never gonna heal
And I see a light, a little grace, a little faith unfurls
Well hello world

Sometimes I forget what living’s for
And I hear my life through my front door
And I breathe it in
Oh, I’m home again
And I see my wife
Little boy and little girl
Hello world
Hello world

Well the empty disappears
I remember why I’m here
Just surrender and believe
I fall down on my knees
Well hello world
Hello world
Hello world
