Song for Sunday

There is a Stephen Curtis Chapman song that haunts me whenever things start to get a little hectic. Mostly I enjoy humming it when it first pops into my head, because the first verse feels a lot like my life on any given day:

Well the day has just begun and I'm already running late
With too many irons in the fire and too much on my plate
I'd be pulling out my hair if I could just get one hand free
And I'd stop this world if I could find the key

What I see is telling me I'm going crazy, but
What is real says God's still on His throne

The rest of the song is insanely cheesy, and singing it becomes embarrassing when I get to the end of the chorus. Even if I'm all alone or in the shower, I feel slightly ridiculous for remembering the words. Therefore, I am not going to "dorkify" (yeah, I made that word up) myself further by sharing the rest of the song. If you're curious, you can find it here. It just goes on to say that God is in control, even when we feel like everything (including our thinking-impaired dogs or sleep deprived children) is completely out of control.

Lydia is recovering from a nasty illness of some sort and is now teething and obsessed with learning to crawl. Hannah is trying to adjust to the time change and has decided she is quite gifted at negotiation- "how about if I eat two more bites and have my dessert?" "What if I skip nap to watch a movie? That's still resting..." My house is covered in muddy puppy prints. I'm still working on taxes, and my in-laws are here... See why this is our song for Sunday?
