Laura Story - Blessings

This SONG rocks my socks off! Read the words, Listen to the song, Apply it to Your Life. I'M bout to SHOUT up in here! waaaa!!! OH but N is asleep I gotta watch myself!



The words:

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things

‘Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not our home

What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise


JESUS! LORD JESUS! YOUR MERCY! WOW!

There are only 15 days until SPRING BREAK (or reading week, I prefer the former)




There are only 70 Days until the end of the semester!




And here we go drum roll please... there are only 805 Days until Friday May 17th The projected day of my MDiv Graduation!!



OK so I may have gotten a little out of control with the graduation countdown thing, but HEY at least now I know!!!
