Katie's prayer: Third Day's "I've Always Loved You"

I don't know how to explain it

Today, I was in a really good mood. And I don't know why. I had to attend a meeting this morning that I didn't want to go to. I found out, after I woke up, that the meeting was being held a half hour after I thought it was. So I could have slept in later. Because of this meeting, I was missing out on precious time that needed to be spent on other things at work. It was pouring down rain. It should have been a horrible morning. But for some reason, I was happy, I was smiling, I felt good.

As I was driving from the meeting to work, I was thinking about why I was feeling so good. I realized there were two main reasons why I was in a good mood. Number 1: I actually prayed morning prayer this morning. I haven't been the best about doing that recently (for some reason, sleep just seems better). Second, the first thing I did this morning (after morning prayer) was listen to this song. My day began with hearing God remind me that He loves me. Always and forever loves me. It didn't begin with depressing news. It didn't begin with me looking in the mirror and trying to change my groggy sleepy looking self into someone that looked better, more awake. It didn't begin with worrying about what to wear. It began with God. Praying to God and then listening to God share His love about me. Maybe I should start more mornings like that. (:

Don't you know I've always loved you

Even before there was time

Though you turn away

I'll tell you still

Don't you know I've always loved you

And I always will
