Encouraging Lyrics

I was encouraged by these lyrics Friday night. If law school isn't a storm I don't know what is.

I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.

And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away

I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

Quick Catch Up!

It has been almost a month since I've last blogged and I really didn't want that to happen, but obviously law school did. BOO.

October flew by and I'm still looking for where exactly it went. The highlight of my month was, of course, my birthday. My friends made a huge deal out of it all week and made me feel so special! I have truly been blessed by the Lord with some amazing girlfriends here at Regent. I have no doubt that we were all perfectly placed in each others life by the Lord.





The best birthday gift of all was getting to go home 2 days later and spend some time with friends and family that I have dearly missed. I really think I got to see all the favs in my family except for my cousin Will and Aunt Suzy. I even got to keep my favorite kiddos Emily and Russell for a night!

If any of you know me well at all you know that I am always looking towards the future. I think that partially is because something inside of me always wants something to look forward to! Every month since law school started I have had something big to look forward to: in September I got to go see Heather in Chicago, in October I got to go home, in November Heather is coming to spend Thanksgiving with me, and December I get to go spend Christmas at home! Next semester will hopefully be the same way. So far I have Alison on the calendar to come spend her spring break with me in march!

So my first semester of law school is OVER halfway done and I still wake up wondering if I'm actually still doing this?! The work has NOT eased up at all, but I do feel like I have more of a grasp on time management. The only thing that really annoys me is when we are assigned 4 or 5 cases to read for a class and we end up only getting to one of them. I just leave class mad because it is such a waste of time! Other than that I'm getting by.

Still coveting your prayers daily for strength and knowledge!
