POWER is on!!

Before I forget, I just wanted to tell a little story.

This afternoon/evening, as I was riding the bus home on the Sea to Sky Highway, I was paying careful attention to see if any of the street lights closer to my hometown were on. As we got very close to Lions Bay, the street lights were off and in my mind, I was thinking, "God, I don't know how much more I can take of this." The song had just finished on my iPod and I was looking for a song to play when I came across Matt Redman and decided to play one of my favourite songs, "Blessed Be Your Name." I saw the song name and was reminded of the refrain and some of the verses:

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

And then, there was a particular line:

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
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

Anyway, before the song had even started, I realized that my attitude was wrong and I was thankful that I at least have clean water and don't have to boil it on the stove. I choose to bless God's name and be thankful. So as the song is playing, we pull into the Bus Stop and I see the Bus Stop light is on (hasn't been on since the power went out) and I quickly realized that the POWER WAS ON!!! I was so excited!

I listened to the song as I walked home and I had goose-bumps the entire time, just cause it seemed really cool to me. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but it still was interesting how it transpired.

Thanks, God.
