Just keep going...

  The past two months have been atrocious! We've had more snow than I 
have cared to see, in fact we are just actually starting to see grass 
again! 

   I feel like a first year teacher all over again this year. I have gotten 
every little bug that has come along this winter. This may be part due to the medicine I have been put on for the Still's Disease. I truly feel as if I've been in some stage of a cold since Thanksgiving.

   We are entering that phase of school where there is no break till Easter
which can be a bit tedious. All these snowy days do not help... the good thing about cyber/homeschooling no snow days... the bad thing about cyber/homeschooling no snow days. 

   I read this today and it bears sharing~ to remember then things are tedious and hard... on particularly rough days when I am sure I can't
possibly endure, I remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is 100%. And that's pretty good.

   The truth about life is it does go on even when we don't feel like it
should. The past two months I have been fighting off the enemy and it's wearisome. I waffle between feeling as if I am not doing anything well to feeling un- and under appreciated. Many days I have wanted to stay in bed with the covers over my head. But I remember that I am not alone in this journey and I cling to 2 Cor 4:8&9 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

   


  

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
[x6]

I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
