For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future-Jeremiah 29:11
Better Than I
I thought I did what's right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here
So I put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear
You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I
If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing
I don't know is part of getting through
I tried to do what's best
But faith has made it easy
To see the best thing i can do
Is to put my trust in You.
I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was You who taught that bird to fly
If i let You reach me
Will You teach me.
I've let go the need to know why
I'll take what answers you supply
You know better than I
It has been a long day, long and rainy. It finally has come to a close..now it is off to Culvers for $1 Butter Burgers! Almost all of our staff has gone off to Indianapolis for the Counseling Seminar http://ati.iblp.org/ati/students/opportunities/counselingseminars/ (to find out more go to the preceding link) The few remaining remnant are holding the fort down.
Last Saturday I went on a ride along with the Hinsdale Police department. It was so much fun! My ride was from 9pm-1am. It was funny how it all started up, I got stood up by the officer that was supposed to take me. I was waiting at our PC building for him to arrive and I saw him drive up, he drove around and then left!!! I was in shock at first then I recieved a call that he had went to our other building to pick me up. He came back and drove right past me again! Finally he found me and we took off. Let me tell you this-police cars are so CROWDED. They have laptops,printers,radars,and of couse coffee tumblers all over the place. We drove around the entire time and pulled a total of 5 people over for speeding. It was fun being able to be on the other side of things, not that I have ever been pulled over myself for speeding (or anything else that matter)but I have been in the vehicle when it has been stopped for a ticket. I always wondered why it took them so long to write you a ticket. They not only are writing you a ticket, but they are checking your plates, your backround, and drinking coffee:) All in all it was tons of fun:)
I think this is where I go stair out the window at the rain falling down......
Libby, that poem is beautiful and touched me deeply. Did you write it?
