It seems to me that God truly blesses songwriters. There are many times that I have felt completely one with a song that I hear/sing in church. There are many that actually just bring me to absolute brokenness no matter what I am dealing with at that time. Sometimes when I am dealing with feelings that I just can't express I feel like I need to find a song to encompass them. In the past few months I have been looking for that song, but I hadn't been able to find one. Until today.... Thanks to an old friend I ran across this Charlie Hall song. ( I will overcome) It has been a favorite of mine for many years.
Take some time and meditate on the words of this song. I hope that you are able to find peace and know that in Christ we are able to overcome all that we will endure in this life.
I Will Overcome----Charlie Hall
And I can see that my hands are trembling, I can see that my legs are weak
I can see that my head is spinning, but I will overcome
And I know that my heart is hurting, And I know that my soul it aches
And I know that it seems I'm failing, but I will overcome, yeah
Chorus:
O Lord I'm strong in You, O Lord I am wise in You
O Lord I can see in You, so I will overcome
O Lord I'm loved by You, O Lord I am free in you
O Lord I'm complete in You
So I will overcome, I will overcome, I will overcome
Bridge:
God listen to me shout, I'm so far from anywhere and I'm calling out
Lead me, lead me to the rock that is higher than I
You're my breath, You're my breath, You're my very life
Infinite, Holy King meets weak and frail Christ in me
And I will overcome not by my strength but by Your grace and love

Wide Range
Well today I went into work at 5:30am. I like being up early, so I'm doing it again tomorrow. It makes me feel really good about lunchtime because I've already gotten so much done.
I went to campus at like 7:30, I studied and enjoyed the beautiful empty campus. There was a
slight mist and birds were chirping, it was great.
If you didn't know I just finished applying for PCWCP (Public Child Welfare Certification Program). This program (if I'm accepted) will pay for my tuition for the last 3 semesters. After graduation I would then accept a job, for at least 2 years, with the Commonwealth of Kentucky specifically the Child Welfare department. I will find out if I got in sometime in July.
I have also just moved into an apartment. I got to spend a great few days with my mom while we unpacked and got things together in the apartment.
My baby sister graduates next week. I will be flying to Florida on the morning of graduation. I miss my sister, a lot. We have a date planned for Saturday night. We always do a movie and Chinese food, this time we're seeing Wolverine. (We both love Hugh Jackman.)
So I was sitting there in class today I wanted to scream. There is a girl who likes to show off and take things too far. She also tells our Professor what to do all the time, and it throws him off to the point that he doesn't know what to do. And the guy next to me creeps me out, like big time. He leans out of his chair sometimes to watch what I'm doing (if I'm not paying attention). Then the rest of the time he sits there doing very very inappropriate things. Unfortunately I can't change seats.
Positives about that class....I got an 83 on our Mid-Term!! I was in the top 5 of our class!! I almost cried, that test was crazy hard!
In addition to going home next week, I'm going to go see Jill in August. And try to see Erin at some point this summer.
Next summer I don't have to take classes!! I would like to travel. I think I'm going to save all year so I can do that.
