This Morning

This morning my husband left for his new job. We had a late night last night and I felt like there was no way that I could get up and do the parenting thing alone. I've had help for almost 3 months! But the Lord woke me up with the song Surrender All on my heart! I am so thankful for His mercy and loving-kindness! This song is my life's prayer and a BEAUTIFUL reminder to me of what I must do, in order to do what He has called me to do! 

...walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called. -Ephesians 4:1

Here are the words to the song:

Take all I am Lord, and all that I cling to, 

you are my Savior I owe everything to. 

Take all my treasures, that lie in my store house. 

They can not follow, when I enter Your house.

So I surrender all to you. I surrender all.

Take all my cravings, for vain recognition, 

fleshly indulgence, and worldly ambition. 

I want so much Lord, to make you the focus, 

to serve you in secret and never be noticed.

So I surrender all to you. I surrender all.

Take all my hunger, for all that’s forbidden, 

every desire and sin I keep hidden. 

Search me and know me, I want to bring to you, 

a life that is holy and sanctified through you.

So I surrender all to you. I surrender all.

So I surrender all to you. I surrender all. 

This song is from the cd 'By Faith' by the Galkin Evangelistic Team. I highly recommend this cd which you can find here

Guess what?

I'm learning Hebrew! I'm so excited. I started using this program, as well as Hebrew4Christians.com, and various youtube videos.I'm hoping to get either Teach Yourself to Read Hebrew or Learn Hebrew Today: Alef-Bet for Adults but funds are a little tight right now. 

My plan is to be able to read and write Hebrew within the next year, then I will tackle speaking and attempt to be fluent with in the next 5 years. Hopefully it takes less than 5 years but I'm trying to give myself a reasonable amount of time. 

I have a lot on my plate with a newborn and a toddler but I need something to keep my brain from going into mommy only mode. I must admit initially it seemed like a HUGE task but now that I've started its coming together for me. Reading from right to left hasn't been as difficult as I thought it would be. 

I've also been watching Srugim (Knitted) its like friends but the Israeli version. I watch it on The Jewish Channel so its in Hebrew with English subtitles. Here's the trailer:

I absolutely love this show and it gives me an opportunity to listen to Hebrew while reading the English words. Some words are even starting to stand out to me! This is such an exciting new part of my life!

 Does anyone have any suggestions for learning Hebrew?
