Beauty in Suffering

What a week it has been. In short, it has been rough. I don't even want to think of the challenges next week going to bring. I've had to deal with my short comings as an individual, questions of my suffering. On top of that, university has been loaded to say the least (Anyone know anything about "Feminism" English Essay I have to write)! Thats beside the point. How I'm coping?Just fine on my knees and his words rejoicing that my faith develops perserverance and in perservance it may lead to maturity (James 1:2-4). I bought a Lifehouse Album No Name Face (Last week in fact, only recently have I appreciated the albums beauty). The song was entitled Breathing. Little did I realise the beauty in suffering when we aknowledge our dependency on God.

I'm finding my way back to sanity again
though I don't really know what I'm gonna do when I get there
and take a breath and hold on tight
spin around one more time
and gracefully fall back to the arms of grace


cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don't want to speak tonight that's alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than sit outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
is where I wanna be yeah

I'm looking past the shadows in my mind into the truth and
I'm trying to identify the voices in my head God which one's you
let me feel one more time what it feels like to feel alive and break
these calluses off of me one more time

cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don't want to speak tonight that's alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than sit outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
is where I wanna be yeah


I don't want a thing from you
bet you're tired of me waiting for the straps to fall off of your table to the ground
cause I just want to be here now

cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don't want to speak tonight that's alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than sit outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
is where I wanna be yeah
