Good song

I came across this song recently and have listened to it numerous times since then. The lyrics are really powerful and thought provoking. Good thing(s) for us all to hear, no matter where we are in life, and especially good if we are in the midst of some sort of trial.

Here are the lyrics...

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace.
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep.
We pray for healing, prosperity.
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering.

All the while, You hear each spoken need.
Your love is too 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 night, are Your mercies in disguise?

We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear.
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?

What if trials of this night, 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?
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 a revealing of greater thirst that a world can't satisfy?

And what if trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights;
Are Your mercies in disguise?

And so summer begins...

Summer has begun! It's been busy and fun, and is about to get even busier! Keep checking out my other blog to keep updated with that part of my life. One more month and I'm outta here!

Here's a few snapshots from the past few weeks :)

Eloise's most unflattering position, hahaha.

Eloise never really gets into tvs or computers, but when I watched this video (watch it, its so funny!) she was glued to the screen. So funny.

One Year Anniversary Outing :)

Kyle and I spent out one year anniversary (this past Saturday) in Minot. We walked around the mall, ate, drank coffee at Barnes and Noble and went to this Scandinavian Heritage Park where they hold Norsk Høstfest every fall. I've wanted to go there for years, so it was really exciting to finally get to go. The day was sunny and beautiful, and we took some pretty neat pictures :)

Prom

Prom was this past weekend, and it was a blast! Here's a few pictures from the day :)

Here's a group picture, from left to right its Nathan, Cassidy, Carly, Guy, Brandon, Britney, myself, and Kyle. We had pictures and dinner before prom, then all hung out afterwards. They were a fun group.

This picture cracks me up cause it almost looks like an optical illusion. I'm 5'2 (about 5'5 in these heels) and Kyle is 6'1, but he looks even bigger than that in this picture.

Of course all the mothers (not mine, haha) were around, telling us how to pose :)

My friend Kayla was there taking pictures of us as well.

Jessica and myself

Kyle's mom insisted both families take pictures under the arch, haha. This picture and the next crack me up cause Kyle is towering over my family, and...

... in this one I'm quite a bit shorter than everyone. This is Kyle's family, minus his sister Jessica (pictured above)

Alex was home visiting from culinary school so we had to take a KKAH picture :)
