New Favorite

For the time being my new favorite song would be:

Nicole Nordeman
Every Season

Every evening sky
An invitation
To trace the pattern stars
And early in July a celebration
For freedom that is ours
And I notice you in childrens games
In those that watch them from the shade
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder
You are summer

And even when the trees have just surrendered
To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves in mid September
And sending us inside
Still i notice you when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
And I offer thanks for what has been and what is to come
You are autumn

And every thing in time and under heaven
Finally falls asleep
Wrapped in blankets white
All creation shivers underneath
And still I notice you when branches crack
And in my breath on frosted glass
Even now in death you open doors for life to enter
You are winter

And every thing that is new has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breath
And what frozen thorough is newly purposed
Turning all things green
So it is with you
And how you make me new
With every seasons change
And so it will be as you are recreating me
Summer autumn winter spring.

It is so pretty and really speaks to me about how I will sit by and watch the seasons change with not a care and no notice to the beauty and detail unless it is snow or a waterfall. In every season I should take care to notice the detail and beauty God has blessed us with. Every tiny detail was planned in the beginning and continues on to this day, I should be amazed. It is easy to see the changes He has made in me, because of pride and selfishness, I need to think less of myself and more of Him.
