Blessings In Disguise

Boy, I am NOT much of a blogger these days. Maybe because I have a full time job, a two year old, a home to care for, two ministries to run, and I have to sleep at some point! LOL Blogging used to be like therapy for me, though...so I need to get back on it. I am on Spring Break, so I have some free time. Hannah and I went to the beach with Maria today, and she is such a great lady. We have so much fun talking, and I learn so much from talking with her. It's so great to have wonderful Christian ladies in your life that you can fellowship with. I have to get off the computer and cook dinner before banner practice tonight, but I wanted to share this AMAZING song that I just love right now. The words really minister to me, and remind me that although I don't know what God is doing sometimes, He is still in control.

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 us 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

And 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


‘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

And 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,

It's not our home


‘Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

And what if a thousand sleepless nights

Are what it takes to know You’re near

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 rain, the storms, the hardest nights

Are your mercies in disguise
