Christ has regarded my helpless estate

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

biggest blessing in my life right now.

probably one of the greatest songs ever written.

la vie en rose

So its been awhile since i've blogged and there are many reasons for this:

1. the last 2 months of my life have been insanely busy. I have never, ever been so busy. It seems like every single day is not only filled, but pushed to the limits of fullness. It has been absolutely ridiculous...but i wouldn't change it.

2. I now have a twitter account: twitter.com/abbielay. Because of this twitter I don't want to be overly active online, ya know, people will think I don't have a life if I am simultaneously updating twitter, facebook, and my lovely blog...thats just overkill.

3. I make this video blog for my bestie tiff who goes to UCA and that would also be overkill...two blogs updated weekly. whoa, slow down cowboy.

Anyway these things aside i am now taking the time out of my busy schedule to blog it out. oh man, its a big day.wassup.

So ok, lately The good Lord has been totally rockin my world, i mean this stuff is big. He has been teaching me what it looks like to truly love Him and be in love with Him. Its so incredible, its something that I didn't even realize that I hadn't learned and then BAM, right there in my face God handed it too me and was like, run with this. And thats what I'm doing. Running with it. He has been showing me how to see His glory EVERYWHERE, from the average and mundane to the spectacular and even the lowest of lows. He knows what He's doing. I love that His promises are true, "ask and you will receive", you want God to teach you something new? you wanna go deeper? Then ask Him, He won't let you down. boom baybay baybay.

God's preppin my heart for something big, something new. I can't wait to see when He shows me exactly what that is. hallelujah. God is so good.
