Holding Me

I have to say that I really do enjoy God's little blessing that he grants us each day. Like yesterday for instance I watch a little red head girl shout her friends name because he was coming to join her in the pool for swimming, and of course having a cute smile on her face.

Driving home and its starting to get dark later. I drove home this week with a sunset behind me an a huge moon that was just coming out in front of me.

Knowing at the end of the day, when I crawl into bed I have one stable thing in my life and that being Christ.
This week will not be an easy one. Mentally I have so much to get done homework wise and I don't know how much sleep with actually be permissible. Then emotionally so many of my friends within the program feel the same way, wanting to give up and are wondering if nursing is actually for them. It makes me sad to hear such things spoken. Especially when you can see that they are going to be an excellent nurse. I feel burdened by their struggles and I am desperately clinging to the one that is holding them all in his hands.

Holding Me
Problems of life, both mine and others
Weighing on my back
Stressors have comsumed my body
wondering when they will escape
So Jesus to you I run, to you I take my refuge
You are the one that holds all things in your hands
Hold me Jesus, my body. thoughts. emotions.
Feed your stength into me from your hands
Through me may your strength stream to others as well
I know that you will keep me going
Going to the end
But Jesus, if it's ok, make the end come soon
Or at least make it seem that way
