The most amazing version of this song on the piano. A-mazing!
Take a listen, it will be worth it. (click the link below) Be Thou My Vision Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art Thou my best thought by day or by night Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light Be thou my wisdom and Thou my true word I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord Thou my great Father, I , Thy true son Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one Riches I heed not nor man's empty praise Thou mine inheritance now and always Thou and thou only first in my heart High King of heaven my treasure Thou are High King of heaven my victory won May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun Heart of my own heart whatever befall Still be my vision O Ruler of all
I think I've posted this before, but boy is the Lord teaching me to be patient. It kinda sucks the way he is doing it..but I am sure learning!
In this section, i had a paragraph venting and complaining away at my life. I re-read it and found it to be pathetic and immature. Atleast I realized it sooner, rather than later. :)
"We must be willing to get rid of the life we had planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us." Joseph Campbell
mmm. I really like that quote. Think about it a bit.
On another note...here is the deal with the house.
First of all, Chase bank sucks. On Oct. 13,2009 we went in to Chase to apply for a loan. The lender who we were recommended to no longer did loans, so he gave us another lady. So...this "lady" took our information and started us out. As months went on...she was very unreliable and had horrible communication with us and our Realtor. She kept telling us everything was "fine" and going in the right direction. Well...last week we find out she totally screwed up our application and is no longer on our loan. We got another lender who had to fix our application and re-submit it. It has been thee longest 3 months of my life. So now...our loan was resubmitted..and we are waiting.
So there is the story. The hardest part is that I have mentally moved in and imagined the house being all done and ready. In reality, once we DO get the house...it will be a good 1.5-2 months before its livable.
blah blah blah.
The good news is that I am a lucky girl...regardless of all this crap that is going on in my life. There is always someone who is in a worse situation than I am.Life is not fair....i just need to deal with it now.
"When a person hurts, their hurt is valid, regardless of the reasons why the hurt has happened. Our job is not to show them why they hurt, but to offer them comfort the best we can- with love, kindness, understanding and affection" -Mark R.Littleton
I had this saved into my computer as a "good quote". I think we always try to show people why they are hurt or how we can fix it. Instead, we just need to love on the person.
