All of my life In every season You are still God I have a reason to sing I have a reason to worship -Desert Song, Hillsong United My heart goes out to you, Lord. My heart sings praises to Your Name. My heart is in so much awe. I am not in a "perfect" and "flawless" situation. I have problems; I have struggles. BUT THANK YOU, LORD, FOR I KNOW YOU ARE WITH ME. THANK YOU, LORD FOR YOUR LOVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GRACE.           Three weeks ago, my class has started and like what I have posted previously, it was CRAZY! Now, we're done with week no.3 . One more week and we're done with the class.           Where I am now IS NOT the most convenient place I could be.
