Praise

So I feel the need to testify at the many blessings in my life. I just feel like the Lord is working everywhere I look. Yea I know He is always working everywhere but sometimes it takes a while for my feeble mind to see it. I have spent some wonderful time on the phone recently with family and friends and I feel like the Lord is just answering all my prayers left and right. I am also seeing this happen in my friends lives all around me. It is really a beautiful thing to see and realize that my life would be in complete shambles if I was in control. I am so glad that I do not have to try to do it on my own. If that were the case, I would have been back home somewhere around 8 months ago and would have stayed. But praise the Lord He has a bigger plan and has His hand in everything single tiny thing in my life. Without this I know I would completely lost forever, literally.

Through this I am reminded of one of my favorite songs. This song is partly dear to me because of my precious friend Mel who gave me the CD years ago because this was her Dana song. It just reminds me that He can take me and all my quirks and faults and make my life completely beautiful.

Well, I've never been a fashion queen
I wear dresses I wear jeans
I've even been known to wear my heart on my sleeve
I'm just your average kid next door
A plain simple mystery
I'm a self-proclaimed daddy's girl
With my share of idiosyncrasies

I'm just fine
I see a smile from Heaven
My father's proud
And I know that I am simply, fearfully, and wonderfully
Made in you
You make it beautiful somehow

I've got old-fashioned sensibilities
I believe chivalry still exists
And I can be a princess
Even when there ain't no prince
So what if I'm right brained
I've got half a mind to disagree
I would rather write the book
Than go and read the movie
So even when I may not rhyme
You always give me reason

I'm just fine
I see a smile from Heaven
My father's proud
And I know that I am simply, fearfully, and wonderfully
Made in you
You make it beautiful somehow

Every day, every way
Got my elbows on the table
My mind up in the clouds
I know I'm getting better
I can almost hear You laugh out loud
The more I trust in You
The more I find
What You create is no mistake
It's purpose by design

I'm just fine
I see a smile from Heaven
My father's proud
And I know that I am simply, fearfully, and wonderfully
Made in you
You make it beautiful somehow

Beautiful somehow
That is what You do
Beautiful somehow
Beautiful in You
