In Over My Head

Okay, here's another installment of 'Barb's Favorite Songs." Today, I was thinking about how often I feel like I am in over my head with this parenting eight kids thing. Some days go off without a hitch, but more often than not, each day brings may hitches and many times when I just shake my head and go, "now what do I do with THIS?"

Ironically, this is exactly where I want to be - in over my head that is. You see when we started this latest adoption journey one of the songs that spoke to me (yes, songs speak to me, my pets don't, but songs do) was Steven Curtis Chapman's Dive.  My favorite part of the song goes as follows

There is a supernatural power in this mighty river's flow
It can bring the dead to life, it can fill an empty soul
And give a heart the only thing worth living and dying for
But we will never know the awesome power of the grace of God
Until we let ourselves be swept away into this holy flood
So if you'll take my hand and close your eyes and count to three
And take the leap of faith
Come on let's go

So, you see, if I am in over my head then I can really see God work.  Anyway, here's the song.
