BLESSINGS

SO this blog is supposed ot be about how God is blessing us, and bless us He has in 1000 different ways. I know I don't blog very much, but some days I just sit in sock and awe at how good and gracious He has been to us.
Unfortuntly that doesn't always mean the road is easy. Many things have happened this year to just make it a hard year, but here we are, standing on the brink of Caleb finishing Seminary, with the promise that even the things that break my heart, God will shine His goodness through, maybe not the way we hope/plan, but in His best way, in His best time.
Anyway I foudn this song the other night and the words just really resonated with me.

BLESSINGS
by Laura Story
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

And all the while
You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things

Cuz 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

And all the while
You hear each desperate plea
Lord, that we’d have faith to believe

Cuz 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?

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

Cuz 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?

What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
is the revealing of a greater thirst
This world can’t satisfy?

And what if trials of this life
The rainThe storms
The hardest nights
are your mercies in disguise
