when the sun's shining down on me, when the world's "all as it should be"..

im sure we've all felt it. just this unexplainable feeling of joy bottled up inside, where the only way to really let it out is through a huge smile or uncontrollable laughter. after so many ups and downs this year, i cant do anything else but simply PTL after all he's shown me. our God truly is an AWESOME God. i keep saying and hearing the same phrase over and over this week: "funny how things work out." the more i think about it, the more i really come to realize that God knew exactly what he was doing with our lives even before we were born. He just chooses to use various experiences to reveal His unbelievable power to us.

on sunday during worship service, we sang my all-time favorite praise song =)

Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name when the sun's shining down on me,
When the world's "all as it should be",
Blessed be Your name,
And blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering,
Thiugh there's pain in the offering,
Blessed be Your name.

Every blessing You pour out I'll, turn back to praise,
And when the darkness closes in Lord, still I will say.

Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your glorious name.

You give and take away, You give and take away,
My heart will choose to say, Lord blessed be Your name.

blessed be the name of the Lord at ALL TIMES, right? whether in good times or bad, God's always in control. so, until i hear otherwise, i guess i'll just keep on smiling. PTL! =D
