Deliver Me....

Deliver me out of the sadness
Deliver me from all the madness
Deliver me this cross that I'm bearing

Oh, deliver me

Jesus, Jesus how I trust You
How I've proved You o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus precious Jesus....

Deliver me

dad

today was hard. my dad is facing another hardship, and although he puts his best foot forward i know he's struggling.

i dunno why bad things always seem to happen to him. i know God never gives us more than we can handle, but seriously he's had enough!

what's really weird is that this whole week God put it on my heart to pray for him. i mean REALLY pray for him.

please keep him in your prayers. he needs the Lords comfort during this difficult time.

Yet

All attempts have failed
All my heads are tails
I'm losing ground and gaining speed
I've lost myself or most of me

But you haven't lost me yet
I'll sing until my heart caves in
No, you haven't lost me

Nightmares haunt my days
Visions blur my nights
I'm so confused
What's true or false
What's fact or fiction after all

But you haven't lost me yet
I'll run until my heart caves in
No, you haven't lost me yet

If it doesn't break your heart it isn't love

remember me?

I'm at work and it's super slow...

I read the following proverb this morning: A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult. 12:16

and I really feel like God has given me several opportunities today to stay calm "when insulted."

For example, I work as a receptionist at the Wellness Center. My job mostly consists of checking members in. Well, today I greeted a member and stretched out my hand so they could hand me their membership card like i usually do and they placed it on the counter. That really annoyed me, but remembering the proverb I just smiled and said Thank you. If my flesh was at work I would not have handed it back to them... I would've put it right back on that counter!

I won't go into more examples because remembering them kind of puts me in a bad mood, but I will share some blessings with you. I lost my phone and some basketball players from building one found it. Also, some girl scouts were selling some cookies and a member bought me a box!!! i was genuinely surprised!

well, i better go now. it's time to reconcile my till!

i'll try to blog more often.
