The power of a song

Music is and has always been my passion. It is one way that I deal with the many emotions that life throws our way. I can use it when I am sad, happy and most importantly when I worship my Lord. It's amazing how a couple of minutes can make a difference in my day. I can have a rough morning, get in the car to drop off the boys at daycare, and a song comes on the radio that puts my life and reactions into perspective. Lately, the song that has really hit home is called "This is the Stuff" by Francesca Battistelli. I would like to share those lyrics with you now...

I lost my keys in the great unknown
And call me please 'Cuz I can't find my phone

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

45 in a 35
Sirens and fines while I'm running behind
Whoa

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

So break me of impatience
Conquer my frustrations
I've got a new appreciation
It's not the end of the world
Oh Oh Oh

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff
Someone save me
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
And I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

Oh Oh Oh Oh
This is the stuff You use

I have to say that really no matter what happens, the Lord will provide and I am blessed. I know the Lord puts obstacles in my way to make me stronger and this song is a great reminder!!
