Yes, Jesiree, you agreed to do Sing Song this year…omg…so, the first Sing Song rehearsal was last night. I’m way excited about our music! Aside from the late-night rehearsals that may take away from my homework time and, more importantly, my sleep time (wait, they already have), it’ll turn out to be an enjoyable and memorable experience, provided that the Lord get me through it.
The first week of school is not even over yet…and I almost had one of my oh-my-gosh-I-have-way-too-much-on-my-plate-right-now-I-can’t-handle-this breakdowns; that was the second day of school. Strength and endurance are two things I’m definitely going to need this semester, but I know the Lord will provide. I was reminded that through it all, He is there. He is our strength, our fortress, our comfort:
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows." - 2 Corinthians 1:3
And, even more so, He has made us to overcome these obstacles, struggles, tests…hard times.
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” – Romans 8:37 In that there is hope; there is a renewed vigor to keep pressing on. He will see me through.
His blessings and goodness are in abundance around me. I cannot deny the awesomeness of the Lord and His everlasting care and provision for me. And, it’s funny; the song tells you to “count your blessings,” to “name them one by one,” but honestly, I can’t exactly name all of them one by one, because He has done so much. That includes some things that are far beyond my grasp. I can’t fully comprehend everything that the Lord is doing in my life (if I did, that wouldn’t make Him God…), but I know that He is working. And, that is a comfort and a joy beyond all measure.
Be blessed today in all you do,
Jezz
