Where do we stand?

That's the question Joel asked on the BCE blog. I have no clue where I stand. I may possibly graduate in 5 days; I may go on for another year; who knows, God willing I may continue to masters? Or even further on?

Had a very long chat with Shaun this afternoon. And I feel exactly the way he feels; like a desert. And this 3 week old cough is not helping much. But this morning's sermon hit the nail on the head; persevere, count the blessings and above all that, the King still has one more move. One thing I know for sure is that God is always there. Even though sometimes, it gets very hard to worship Him. It get's hard to pray. It get's hard to feel the joy of salvation again. Yet, I will continue to sing His praise.

Lord, You seem so far way
A million miles or more it feels today
And though I haven't lost my faith
I must confess right now
That it's hard for me to pray
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as You give the grace
With all that's in my heart

I will sing, I will praise
Even in my darkest hour,
through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing, I will praise
Lift my hands to honour you
Because Your Word is true, I will sing

Lord it's hard for me to see
All the thoughts and plans you have for me
But I will put my trust in You
Knowing that You died to set me free
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as You give the grace
With all that's in my heart
