First Day of School...

... was really fun!

The end of the summer caught me by surprise, and here I find myself with a preschooler, a second grader (age 6, goin' on 16), and a third grader... Oh, and of course the baby who sits down to "do school" with us and looks offended when I don't hand him a workbook and a pencil! How did this happen?

We had a very nice first day of school. It started at 4:30am for me, and since I am "back blogging" this, I can already tell you that didn't last for this week!

We started out with some worship time, and I have to say that over and over again in my life, one (rather old now) worship song keeps springing back to the top of my list. Some lyrics please...

Sometimes by Step
By: Rich Mullins

Sometimes the night was beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
You could touch it, but your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hot
There was so much work left to do
But so much You'd already done

Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek you in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

Sometimes I think of Abraham
How one star he saw had been lit for me
He was a stranger in this land
And I am that, no less than he
And on this road to righteousness
Sometimes the climb can be so steep
I may falter in my steps
But never beyond Your reach

Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek you in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

Sometimes the night was beautiful

I think that's just about exactly how I felt on this first day of school.
