bring the rain...

I can count a million times
People asking me how
I Can praise You with all that I’ve gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It’s never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times

So I pray
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there’ll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that’s what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what’s a little rain

So I pray
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty

this little piggy...

OMgosh! you gotta see it to believe it...

finally... a "hog!" that deserves even a tiger's respect, hee, hee.

so that's how it goes, huh?

Tanya drops out & we all jump ship too? If Tanya jumped off the empire state building....?!?!hee, hee.


Anyway i'm back in bloggerland after completing the "life after streakoftigers" rehab clinic on how to survive without tanya's insight. it's a tough program & i am having some withdrawals, but my therapist assures me that we can survive this. :-)


so tan, if you're out there, we miss you; if you're really gone from b'land than you'll never know how much your departure has scarred us. (jk)


Anywho, i'm here....is anyone else????

i dunno, just cram it in the top drawer...

for the girls who organize the groceries and put books by height on the shelf and put silverware together in the dishwasher...

kudos to you! it's more efficient and it makes sense once you think about it, but that's just it, i don't think about it "naturally" -- i have to reprogram my brain to put things in a place that seems so logical to y'all.

for example, i asked mel for help in my room b/c it had become a little "organizationally challenged" (aka it was a mess). Closets overstuffed, clothes all mixed up in drawers, random items tucked here and there....arrgh. so she helped me! thanks bunches sis!!

(truthfullly she worked and i watched) this organizing thing came so easy to her, what she accomplished in a hour-ish would have taken me endless hours of standing there looking at the closet, wonderin where to begin. she came in asked a few questions and wah-lah...the room was 1000% better.

[thanks melly! ah it's much better:)]

so all this to say -- the world is a better place because of you type people --
whatever that type is :-)
