Disappointment comes to us all at different times in our lives. I feel like kinda goes in cycles...and sometimes you just have a really happy cycle. Or a disappointing cycle.
And I think I am in kind of a disappointing time. (I say this frankly, not whiny or "woe is me"...its hard to get inflection in writing haha)
Lots of things I thought I had aren't what I thought and in fact aren't there at all.
I had been hoping for something to come...but it didn't work out.
I had been relying on a fact that turned out to not be totally true.
They always say that God answers all of our prayers.
Sometimes I wonder if he answers some of my prayers by not answering them.
It may seem kinda backwards but.......
listen to this song......
It is kind of a hard pill to swallow. Thinking that He allows things to happen to us that will cause us a little sufferings But...
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
So here's what I am going to do. I'm going to keep my chin up. I'm gonna ride this wave right up to the shore. Cause after I get there...I'm gonna get to rest in the sandy warmth :)
I'm sorry...I'm gonna include all the lyrics...its just too good of a song not to.... it will make this post super long...but you can always stop reading now ;)
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 us 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
And 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
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
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
