Learning to Breathe

Twas the week before Christmas.... And the message for the Blue Christmas Service is still jelling in my mind, the two messages for Christmas Eve have not had hardly any thought put to them yet, and the message for Dec. 26 is somewhere in the scriptures I chose for that day. Each day is busy between now and Christmas. with meetings, caroling, Christmas services and Christmas parties I don't have a free night. I want to be a part of all these things because I know it is good for my soul. God, I know you can do anything you want, can't you give me 36 hour days between now and Christmas? How would it affect the world if the earth turned just a little slower for the next week and we had half again as much time to do things? I suppose it would really throw things off as our clocks would off not to mention our biological clocks. I suppose it would be more realistic to trust in my God to give me the words I need to say. To trust in what I already know from experience God will do for me. I slept last night; the best night's sleep I have had in weeks. It's my day off to be with my family, yet here I am typing this and figuring out what my children's message will be for tomorrow. Twas the week before Christmas and I am at peace. Thank you God.

Switchfoot: Learning to Breathe
Hello, good morning, how ya do?
What makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new

So this is the way
that I say that I need You
This is the way
This is the way

That I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and
You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies

Hello, good morning, how ya been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never thought I could fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad

I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and
You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies

So this is the way
that I say that I need You
This is the way
That I say I love You
This is the way
That I say I'm Yours
This is the way
This is the way
