Day 10:Honey and Pumpkin Seeds

Sometimes Blessings can  take unusual forms..... such as...

PUMPKIN SEEDS!!! They got these in the ship shop a few weeks ago and I'm LOVING snacking on them!!:)


All Natural Honey... it means I'm allowed to eat it11 My friend got it sent from her friends at home and heard I'm only doing natural sugars... and boy does it taste incredible!!!:)


Them Together!! I mean.. I don't eat them together, but still... exciting:)
There's something else that has hugely blessed me lately... it's this song... if you haven't heard it, please do... It's not only beautiful but really hits me where I'm at...
"Blessings"


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
And 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 rain drops
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
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
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
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

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 rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
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
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise






I've been having a patch of cloudy skies again after some beautiful sunny days in the world of Michelle and this song has really helped me out a lot. Not only has the song, but a wonderful family friend sent me the devotional that goes with it and it has not only blessed me, but inspired me to live it out as well as to memorize the scripture that goes with it all. Incredible.

Thank you God, for loving me even when I'm quite unlovely.... that's a blessing for sure!!!! :)
