Scattered words and empty thoughts
seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before
seems I don't know where to start
but it's now that I feel Your grace falls like rain
from every fingertip, washing away my pain
[Chorus:]
I still believe in Your faithfulness
I still believe in Your truth
I still believe in Your holy word
even when I don't see, I still believe
Though the questions still fog up my mind
with promises I still seem to bear
even when answers slowly unwind
it's my heart I see You prepare
but its now that I feel Your grace fall like rain
from every finger tip, washing away my pain
[Chorus]
The only place I can go is into your arms
where I throw to you my feeble prayers
in brokeness I can see that this was your will for me
Help me to know You are near

| Hey, Hey! How was everybodys spring break? Mine was fine except for the fact that I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled Friday. Today's the first day that I've felt significantly better since although I'm still a little puffy, sore and tired. But hey, having ice cream and chocolate pudding all the time isn't too bad  . Anyways...oh, my Mom sent me this link the other day to a good article, here it is: http://www.lproof.org/Devotions/2007/AmericanIdolatry.html

| I just got back from camp a couple of days ago. It was awesome. My Mom and lil sis went as campers (It was a Mother/Daughter retreat)and I worked in the kitchen and helped with other stuff like running the general store selling t-shirts and stuff and playing with the campers (which was sooo much fun  ). I had such a great time working there with all my other staff friends and just being there to serve the Mothers and Daughters. I love it out there, I really do. The speakers that weekend were really good. They were 2 sisters and they brought all their kids out with them. Ohmygoodness, they had the cutest kids ever! I loved playing with their kids, it was sooo much fun.I only got to see the very end of the last speaking session, but it was oh, so good. They were talking about how God has a purpose with everything that happens to us. That we are always in HIS hand. It was so touching and such a poignant reminder that we are ALWAYS in His hand no matter what happens to us. He's always there even when we think He's left us out in the cold and when we feel utterly alone. I was in tears by the end and I only saw about the last 20 minutes! It was a great reminder to me because I can sit here saying how great God is and how I totally have my trust fully in Him but that's just saying it. Unless I APPLY it to my life and hand over my life to HIM ALL the time it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't count if I just hand over my life when I feel like it or when the time feels right. I have to put my trust in HIM to know that HE will do what's BEST for me because He will if I let Him. It's not a sometime thing, it's an all or nothing situation, 24/7. And I admit, I don't always put my trust fully in God like I should. So I'm not trying to be preachy here and saying that I'm totally putting my trust in God all the time, because that is an aspect in my life that I need to be willing to give to Him. I'm just sharing with y'all what I'm learning. Every Christian has SO much room to grow in God in every aspect, we're not ever done learning, there's still always more room to grow. Because, we, my friends are sinners and in DESPERATE NEED of a savior and we are human so we will never be perfect. But guess what? God uses broken vessels. That is something that is so amazing to me. That God can use me in the midst of my brokenness, that He has this AWESOME plan for my life if I just submit to Him and let Him rule my life. He loves me and wants what's best for my life. And He does all this and can still use me even though I am a wretched sinner. He never ceases to amaze me. So, these are just some of my thoughts. I have soo much more to learn in my relationship with the Lord, just wanted to share. Any other thoughts?

| Today marks the day of my heart procedure two years ago. Wow. Hard to believe it's been that long. Anyways, I'm so happy and blessed that through that procedure God was watching out for me. Everything went really smoothly and God just gave me the peace and calmness to go through all that. I had little pain and was back to normal pretty soon afterwards. Although I didn't realize it at the time God was really watching out for me. So many things could have gone wrong I'm sure and recovery time could have been painful and long. And now I look back and I am amazed at God's grace and care He gave me while I went through it. How great is our God!!
