"Blessings"

I'll talk later about why, but I heard this song for the first time today and I thought someone else might need these words as much as I do right now.


Blessings
Artist: Laura Story
Album: Blessings


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
As long as we 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

Spring Break is for wusses.

That's right. I said it.

I'll say whatever I have to in order to get through everybody else's beach pictures and "I just got up!" posts at 1000.

Wanna see what Spring Break looks like for an anesthesia student graduating in just shy of 2 months?





Yeah. That (and 26 more days of clinical at my favorite site) is my future until I take my certification exam in mid-June.

So until then, I'm in pep-talk mode. Our unofficial class motto is "MAN UP!" Our unofficial mantra is "It'll be fine."

And my official take on this week is "Spring Break is for wusses."

Dealwiddit.
