The college semester at my husband’s workplace has not started up yet but the beginning wheels are in motion. A few students in leadership positions will return next week and then registration is close behind. Summer is over! It was a good summer though!
We are not experiencing August as usual here in Oklahoma, at least not in our part. We have had rain the last two Sundays and temperatures sometimes are in the 80’s. We have had hot days but generally, we hit hot days non-stop from late July to early September. It has been a blessing to have little breaks in the high temperatures.
Today’s infusion has gone as it normally does. We have such a routine here that even the nurses have begun joking about how we are such a demand on them…only because we’re not. Everything mostly goes so smoothly that we don’t have to ask for anything. We’re just holed away in our little room while I work on the computer and reply to text messages and emails. Sometimes I dive into a good book if I can. Joy watches Little Bear and falls asleep until it’s time to leave. Then we grab supper on the way home and get everybody settled before Ben or I (whoever’s turn it is) and Ethan go to church in the evening, while the other of us stays home with Joy.
I’ll leave you with this song. It’s actually from an animated movie about Joseph. I don’t know if I could whole-heartedly recommend the movie but this song comes to mind often.
You Know Better Than I
I thought I did what's right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here
So I put up a fight
And told You how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear
You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I
If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing I don't know
Is part of getting through
I try to do what's best
And faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is put my trust in You
For You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I
I saw one cloud and thought it was the sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was you who taught that bird to fly
If I let You reach me will You teach me
For You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
I'll take what answers You supply
You know better than I
