Praise You in this Storm...

I meant to write this last night, but didn't get a chance.
Anyways, last night (I don't know how to describe this...) I felt sort of, well, "peaceful"...not at peace, but just sort of content in myself. I don't know how this works or why, but I had sort of followed the song "Praise You in this Storm" The song goes like this:

(words by Mark Hall, music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms, performed by Casting Crowns)

I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.

And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away

And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

So anyways, I was at phisical therapy and as I was doing this one exersize that reminded me of rowing, I sang the song "Fuja" (or so I thought, but apparently the lyrics are different maybe?) that I learned in Sunday School:

*Sing a little song* for Jesus you'll be right (ch-ch-ch ch-ch-ch)
*Sing a little song* for Jesus you'll be right (ch-ch-ch ch-ch-ch)

Oh! Fewa fewa hartina, fewa fewa kay-wa-oh

Goes on like this with *Sing a little song* replaced by "Do a little dance", "Sing real soft", "sign real loud", "shout AMEN!", "brush your teeth", "do homework", "Hug your friend", "help your mom", "make your bed", "clean your room" etc etc, then at the end, "end this song"

Later on (I was in a singing mood) when I was doing my semi daily walking with my walker (about 3o feet) in PT, I was singing "Walking in the Light". Which reminded me of another similar song, and another, and another...

So, anyways, I don't know exactly what I'm getting at, but I think it did me good to praise God in this storm...(I KNOW...too corny...I'm stinkin laughing my butt off about now...I'm sure God has a sense of humor...how could anything/one be perfect and not have one?) All day I've felt that feeling of approval. Even if it doesn't last, I think I'm on the right path...by far I have a loooonnnngggg way to go, but, I may be one step closer...a baby step, but still a step =) none the less)
