Hey, everyone!  I'm sorry that I haven't been posting; the camp's tomorrow and I'm super busy!

Anyway, here's a song with a really great message.  It's called "Blessings," by Laura Story.  The lyrics are below:

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 is 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

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
And 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?
And 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 that 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

I think that this song is really important, because it shows that God works in mysterious ways.  Through trials, we all say, "God?  Why are you doing this to me?  Haven't I been good?"  We all wonder why God is putting us through such hard times.  We pray and pray, angry and confused with God, when really, everything that we're going through are his blessings.  God does things that we can't understand.  But through it all, know that God has a purpose.  Whatever he's doing, he meant it to happen.  God does not make mistakes.  He is perfect in every way.  Through every trial, just know that God is always there with you, and that those trials may really be his blessings, even though it might not seem that way.  Maybe he's trying to strengthen your faith in him.  Maybe he's doing something to help you later on.  But whatever is going on in your life, just know that God has a purpose in your life.  God is good.  He only wants the best for you.  When you go through trials, it is for a reason.  Know that God may be trying to help you, and keep trusting in him.

Thank you all so much for the kindness and support!!  Love you all!  God bless you!!
