Blessings

This song has brought me to a deep reflection on the matter of "Blessings"
 Hope it could as well teach you something.. :)

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 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

November Bliss

November is not over yet but still I sensate this month is one of my favorite month of this year.. God endowed me a lot things this November.

• First, Mom surprisingly bought new tabulet.
• Second, My Mom (again) has finally..fi..na..lly.. has mercy on me and agree to repair my new laptop :'D which I accidentally broke its screen (the repair cost is around 1.6 million, Phew!)

• Third, I somehow find some amount of money in my money deposit box meanwhile I'm in need of some money at that very time.. A heavenly help!

• Fourth, English Club 1st year anniversary (5/11) has celebrated excruciatingly prodigious!! The event was even publish in Radar Manado (local newspaper) isn't that amazing?? :D

• Fifth, me and other SREDS members has just participated in 6th IBA Governor Trophy English Debating Championship. This competition belongs for high school and we are the Adjudicators.. :D Tbh, I fervently enjoy this duty like..really!! I feel rejuvenated seeing high school students with their burning spirit to take home the trophy.. I love that so much! Moreover, I'm so proud seeing those potentials are found in High School in North Sulawesi..♥ I can't stop suggesting them to keep practice debating over and over even until college (hopefully they enroll at UNSRAT *finger-crossed).

• Sixth, our delegation's visa making which is almost done.. I feel like we're one step closer to Harvard, beibeh.. It's a wonderful feeling!(з´⌣`ε)  We also got a news that we can go to CMUN in Makassar this November. All funded by our university.. isn't that great??
