Sometimes He Calms the Storm
lyrics by Tony Wood and Kevin Stokes
All who sail the sea of faith
Find out before too long
How quickly blue skies can grow dark
And gentle winds grow strong
Suddenly fear is like white water
Pounding on the soul
Still we sail on knowing
That our Lord is in control
Sometimes He calms the storm
With a whispered "Peace be still"
He can settle any sea
But it doesn't mean He will
Sometimes He holds us close
And lets the wind and waves go wild
Sometimes He calms the storm
And other times He calms His child
He has a reason for each trial
That we pass through in life
And though we're shaken
We cannot be pulled apart from Christ
No matter how the driving rain beats down
On those who hold to faith
A heart of trust will always
Be a quiet peaceful place
Sometimes He calms the storm
With a whispered "Peace be still"
He can settle any sea
But it doesn't mean He will
Sometimes He holds us close
And lets the wind and waves go wild
Sometimes He calms the storm
And other times He calms His child

How is your mom doing? I'll keep you in prayer. I'd ask that you'd do the same for me. I have to preach Sunday morning (literally.)
Okay...so I have an apartment. I have been moving cramming my car full of stuff all week, and unloading it into the new place. My room now looks soooo empty. It's strange. Tomorrow morning is an early up day. My Dad is going to load all of my big furniture onto the trailor and move it into the apartment. That would be the bed, nightstand, dresser, wardrobe, computer desk, and entertainment center...whew...that's too much stuff I'm telling ya. Anyway, after tomorrow I will be all moved in to my own apartment...how weird does that seem...ALOT if you ask me.
I'm pretty sure I have a job. The town I am moving to is 1hr. away from home, and my new job is about 30 minutes from the new town, in the town over from it...it's pretty neat
I don't know if you can call it excitement, but I am definately wired...that's for sure. I'm going from one nut house to the next lol...It's another daycare...oh but the people there are really nice (well the few I have met) and ofcourse the children are just sooo cute, and darling...I'm sure they will show me their other sides soon enough...lol...but hey, kids are worth it!!
I will not be changing churches. I feel very close to my church family, and really do not feel God calling me anywhere else right now. I think he can use me where I am at right now. So, I will be driving the hour back home on Sundays and probably drive back for class the following morning once school starts. I hope to be able to drive in for Wednesday services too...but should something prevent that, there are nice churches in my new town (but I am just believing God for the Wednesday nights).
LOL...my dog is rolled upside down and curled up on my bed...it is quite the peculiar sight
Okay, well I am about to fall out of my computer chair, and I have to get up early in the morning to get everything unpluged so that we can load the rest of it up. Here's the catch though. I am not going to have internet access immediately at the apartment. I am not canceling my internet provider, but it may take a week, possibly two for me and my roommate to get a phone line into the place...but as soon as we can have that taken care of I will be back up and running with my computer, and will pop in here to say hello.
Until then...Out with the old and in with the new...I hope you all have a wonderful New Year.
I send a hug out to all of my taggers and friends...You are all awesome!!
