All the way

Today was a good day. After 10 1/2 hours of sleep last night, I got up around 9:00. I spent the morning with Heidi and Liam, a lady and her little boy from church. We went shopping...Aldi, HyVee, Walmart, Sam's, etc...and then we got Wendy's for lunch and I didn't get back to school until after 12 noon. I did homework all afternoon and this evening had a good chat with my mom. The Lord is taking good care of me, like He enjoys doing. I'm resting in Him.

Here are more song lyrics from JJ Heller. Her CD, Painted Red, is officially my new favorite.

Your Hands
I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn’t there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That you would take my pain away
You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crooked lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands

When you walked upon the earth
You healed the broken, lost and hurt
I know you hate to see me cry
One day you will set all things right
Yeah, one day you will set all things right

When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands

Your hands that shaped the world
Are holding me
They hold me still.

"Be still and know that I am God."

This week our trio, Three-for-One, sang the song, "All the Way my Savior Leads Me." That's my mom's favorite hymn, and it was so good to be reminded by the truth in that song. "Jesus leads me all the way!" Jim Elliot said "I am as sure of His direction as I am of His salvation." Wow, I want to be that trusting of my faithful, leading Savior! He will indeed make my crooked ways straight. :)
