Eternity - Misty Edwards

Eternity's eternal song,


Is drawing me away, it's calling me away


It's calling me away


All flesh is grass, fading away.


Only You last, only You remain


All flesh is grass, fading away.


Only You last, only You remain the same,
You never change.

Holy, holy, holy,
You are fairer than then sons of men


Eternity's eternal song,


Is drawing me away, it's calling me away


It's calling me away

Eternity's eternal song,


Is drawing me away, it's calling me away
It's calling me away


Surely man is like the flower of the field,


And life is but a vapor, at best but a vapor.


Surely man is like a flower of the field,


And the fragrance but a vapor, at best but a vapor.

But you O God,
Are better than a thousand blooms.



Hallelujah, Amen! Hallelujah Amen!

Hallelujah Amen! Hallelujah Amen!

Hallelujah Amen! Hallelujah Amen!


Eternities
Eternity's eternal song,


Is drawing me away, it's calling me away


It's calling me away


Eternity's eternal song

i am...

... officially exhausted.

Today was "the great dorm move-out." 

The past two days I have discovered that I have WAY too much stuff! Call me a pack-rat, but I hold on to things. While moving today I found cards, notes, bank statements, my college acceptance letter, and more. I am the sentimental type. I am also the type to try and learn something from everything. Today, I realized how much I hold on to, and also, how much I have let go of.

I, as of Thursday, have completed my junior year of nursing school. I cannot express the amount of accomplishment I feel. This year has, by far, been the hardest of them all - nursing and the rest of my life. My nursing class lost about fifteen people due to failure to make adequate test grades. My emotions have been a roller coaster ride. My heart has sustained break, re-break, disappointment, joy, and now contentment. Sometimes I still freak out a little. Growing up is never easy. Independence can be a lonely road. I know this full well. I have let go of a lot to pursue this nursing shindig. I left home, friends, people I care about - all to follow this dream of mine. I believe it's going to be worth it. 

I seem to keep getting reminders that God has me in His hands. I need not worry about anything. I am ready for this summer. I believe it is going to be another season of change for me. However, this time - this summer - is going to be different. I am passionate about pouring my heart into worship again. I believe God is going to pull some things out of me through it. I am excited to see growth in my walk with God, and in myself. I am ready to grow up a little more. No more messing around.

With that said, I'm going to go to bed now.
