Better Than I
by david campbell
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 a 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

reine. at least that's what most people call me. jan.reine@yahoo.com. januarythirteeneightysix. working as a nurse has been a
rollercoaster. as much as i love doing it, it's exhausting yet fulfilling. a simple thank you and a smile from my patients makes my day. i praise God for my

friends. even though i don't get to see them due to distance, that doesn't mean i don't think about them everyday. my church family is awesome too. i think i'm a
homebody type-of-person. simple things amuses me. Jesus keeps me
sane all the time. even though things has been and will always be unpredictable, i know

When a potter bakes a pot, he checks its solidity by pulling it out of the oven and thumping it. If it “sings,” it’s ready. If it “thuds,” it’s placed back in the oven. The character of a person is also checked by thumping.
Been thumped lately?
Late-night phone calls. Grouchy teacher. Grumpy moms. Burnt meals. Flat tires. You’ve-got-to-be-kidding deadlines. Those are thumps.
Thumps are those irritating inconveniences that trigger the worst in us. They catch us off guard. Flat-footed. They aren’t big enough to be crises, but if you get enough of them, watch out! Traffic jams. Long lines. Empty mailboxes. Dirty clothes on the floor. Even as I write this, I’m being thumped. Because of interruptions, it has taken me almost two hours to write these two paragraphs.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
How do I respond? Do I sing, or do I thud?
Jesus said that out of the nature of the heart a man speaks
(Luke 6:45). There’s nothing like a good thump to reveal the nature of a heart. The true character of a person is seen not in momentary heroics but in the thump-packed humdrum of day-to-day living.
If you have a tendency to thud more than you sing, take heart. There is hope for us “thudders”:
Begin by thanking God for thumps. I don’t mean a half-hearted thank-you. I mean a rejoicing, jumping-for-joy thank-you from the bottom of your heart (James 1:2). Chances are that God is doing the thumping. And he’s doing it for your own good.
So every thump is a reminder that God is molding you (Hebrews 12:5-8).
Learn from each thump. Face up to the fact that you are
not “thump-proof.” You are going to be tested from now on. You might as well learn from the thumps—you can’t avoid them. Look upon each inconvenience as an opportunity to develop patience and persistence. Each thump will help you or hurt you, depending on how you use it.
Be aware of “thump-slump” times. Know your
pressure periods. For me, Mondays are infamous for causing thump-slumps. Fridays can be just as bad. For all of us, there are times during the week when we can anticipate an unusual amount of thumping. The best way to handle thump-slump times? Head on. Bolster yourself with extra prayer, and don’t give up.
Remember no thump is disastrous. All thumps work for good if we are loving and obeying God.
Thump-Thud, Thump-Thud

outburst

it's always hard to let go. especially when you become too attached. especially when they became a part of you already. and most especially when you lose them unexpectedly.
call me crazy but i am crying over a loss that
no one will never understand.
you left too fast. i thought you'd stay longer but why so fast? thank you for those times you've tried to cheer me up when i was down. it worked. really. and i'm sorry if i sometimes wish you would just stop because in reality - it's never the same anymore without you guys.
i have to confess though. at first, i was hesistant to keep you. i thought of how much work and efforts i need to exert for you to stay. i thought about the expenses and all those everyday things to be done just to keep you around. but you were too cute. at first, it was okay but then the everyday sacrifices i have to do made some times annoying. but i NEVER wished you gone.
maybe it's my fault because i always think that you'll never leave. i've always thought something like you stays longer. i thought i'd see you grow. but i never thought you'd leave too soon. that was TOO soon.
yep, i'm crying over my three turtles. two of them died yesterday and i thought the remaining one would live. but i saw him die slowly today and it's hard because i'm so helpless. i want to help - do everything that i can to at least save him but i guess it's too late. more than a year to keep? that is TOO soon. i see that spot where they usually hangout. it's empty. so as how i feel inside. it's not the same anymore. it's not going to be the same anymore.
i'll miss you guys a LOT. i'm sorry if it's my fault. if it wasn't my fault, im still sorry - i could've done better. sorry if i've taken you for granted most of the time. i hate to admit it but it's so true that you will never know what you got until it's all gone. and up to now, i still don't know
how to let go.
cry it all out reine, maybe you'll pee less.
